Old Republic at War review by Afro-yoda-ninja

Congratulations on a successful release G :) Good: There are some excellent things about this mod that really make it stand out. Most notably, the graphics department has been totally overhauled and I love the result. The moving turrets are stunning to watch, particularly on the larger ships. Also, the AI is, um, a nice challenge!!! (It comfortably defeated me on "Easy", which is certainly not something that happens in any other mod I've played!) it is very good to know that I am not going to get bored any time soon. I love all the new units, and some of the new sound effects, for example the mass drivers, are also top quality. Could be improved: One thing that stood out to me from the start is the menu screens. Now I appreciate that a lot of effort has been put into this, but I honestly don't think it was necessary to change some of the headings in the menu itself - I preferred them how they were. Also, the music doesn't quite work with the mod, and isn't Star-Warsy enough. It does not always seem to fit the scenario either - some "calm" music before battles (in search of something better to call them) often could be battle music, and I find this a tad irritating as a musician. Also, I would have liked some GC, but that isn't something that I'm particularly annoyed with at all, some variety from the "space skirmish" mode would have been good, that is all! Yoda. Disclaimer: Anyone may disagree with my review of this mod, and I appreciate that not everyone looks for the same things as I do, but I reserve the right to stand by my judgement.
