Battle Reviews

Easy 5. Amazing story that builds on XWA-DB 1 marvelously. The backdrops are great (for vanilla XWA) and the mission layout was awesome. One tip, on the last mission if you are having trouble at the start, it might be best to play on Medium.


Well built, good story.
Nothing to really complain about except its not particularly exciting.
Story is well done and base is good too.


.................................................................................................


Well crafted storyline followed by also well structured missions. Last mission showdown was a bit disappointing for the too crowded opposition the player has to face. Howeve this does not decrease one bit the high quality of the whole battle. A must to play in the DB order.


Overall nice. I just wasn't able to kill off 5 T/As but that's just me probably :)


Hmmm. Interesting plotline, though I'd've preferred a 6-mission battle instead of a trunkated one. Not a fan of so many scripting events either- it took four or five attempts of each mission to get them to load properly.


Just to clear things out: I had to use "many" invulnerable craft because there was a plotline to follow, I think that using a invulnerable craft is better than see a destroyed cap ship/platform re-appear in the next mission As for the rebels thingy, read the debriefing of last mission. Also, things will become clearer in my upcoming XWA-DB battle :p


This was good battle, although: I have never heard the Rebel Alliance or The New Republic, have been ever cooperating with Dark Jedi Master (last mission). C'mon!


Far too many craft in God mode -


This battle is incredible! A well-thought out, compelling storyline coupled with truly masterful missions, not to mention the classiest briefings I've seen in a long time. Wow, Gidda, we're not worthy!!

In mission 3, there's an inflight msg saying the Razors are attacking the Darkblood. It has the wrong condition, it showed for me after the razors were long gone. (change from "darkblood attacked" to "20 secs after razor arrive")
