i cant blame you , but ya know those games you "really wanted to finish" yeeeah

I actually liked that game. I don't understand why people hate it so much.

[Rax Savvage]

well the easiest comparison would be starcraft 1
its not a bad game, doubt its aged well at all
there were certainly times you were litterally just spending either 20 minutes fighting over 1 control point due to how clumsy units moved around choke pointing each other but honestly a decent game with quite varied units, AT-AT's that can spin in a circle was funny as hell if problematic if they hit a corner like that n wound up as their own mosh pit.

but im also the kind of guy who wants blue tongues starship troopers modernised.

Honestly, Force Commander had a LOT of neat stuff going for it. It had a good soundtrack, it had one of the free-est 3D cameras in an RTS of the time (it's still a lot more free than most RTS titles made today), it had a great method of early-to-late game balancing that allowed for SPECTACULAR turnarounds, it had a solid tech tree (not as complex as many other RTS titles, but allowed for some improvement of your units) and best of all, great unit interactions and uses.

Was always so awesome to use Infiltrators to capture AT-ATs and AT-STs. Unless they filled them with Stormtroopers. Gooooood times.

It was okay....ish... but you are better up with EMPIRE AT WAR ... (the expansion, is "meh")

ps. check GOG.com for that old titles ;)

Yeah Empire at war with mods can completly fill the Force commander feel. (I've even seen a project to implement the Force Commander campaign in EAW, it wasn't in english, but worth noting.

Force commander had good music (at least original, not a direct rip of the movies ost), interresting gameplay choices, but unlike rogue squadron, I think the dated 3d graphics would make it a no-go for me. Graphics isn't all, but I remember how bad the AT-AT looked...Also, I was young at the time, but the game was HARD. Damn.

T'was a good game back then...

i have no idea how to survive any attacks in empire at war as rebels, like maybe i can secure 3-4 planets on easy before either 6 star destroyers turn up or han n chewy get that mission to attack a place and get eventually whittled down to death.
