Execute order 66

User Rating: 3.6 | Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit PC
Last november SOE executed order 66 by introducing NGE; officially killing Star wars galaxies, one of the best persistant world games up there with, world of warcraft, and EvE online. I played galaxies in Pre-cu and quit during the cu. However I went into this game with an open mind hoping that the new twiched based combat would be somthing like JKII unfortunatlly i was very very very wrong. The games starts out in the holding cell of an imperial spacestation. A few minutes in to the game youre rescued by Han solo,Chewbacca,C3P0, and of course R2D2. You board han's ship and escape only to be chased by Darth Vader. I found this new outlook of featuring famous faces to be quite tacky, and I felt I was playing a single played game much of the time.
The new combat system is best discribed as a first person diablo clone. The combat is Fast paced and glitchy and will destroy the fan-base left after the pre-cu. I found the new combat system to be quite enjoyable for about 10 minutes into the game, then it became annoying and bothersome. The only thing i hated more then the combat was the new class system. The old system allowed you to chose from 36 classes including pikeman, bioengineer and pistoler; however classes like bounty hunter and jedi required work to achive {as they should} But the new class system Meld those 35 classes into 9
which consist of Bountyhunter, Jedi, Commando, Trader, Smuggler, Entertainer, Medic, Officer, and Spy. Now the player base consists of 80% jedi 10% Bounty hunters and 100% of players who found other MMO's to hard on their Simple Simple Minds. On an upnote the music is fantastic, the tracks or taken from all the SW movies and sound wonderful while playing. However NGE incorperated voice acting for all the main Characters Han,Vader,ect. But they did'nt cast the original cast So the voice acting is attrosish.
In this game there is little fun to be had (unless you're mentally impaired)
So i suggest you save that 20$ and go and buy jedi knight II for the pc for quality SW fun
