This is not 'Star Warsy', it is BUGGY! Sony & Lucas Arts tried to copy other popular MMOs and FAILED!

User Rating: 1.8 | Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit PC

Gameplay: First off, the UI is clunky and not intuitive. Everything you mouse over becomes your "target" so cobat is harder than ever. Trying to fight NPCs that are Ranged while you are Melee is near impossible, even to a Jedi! The NPCs have the ability to run almost twice as fast and still attack ACCURATELY. I have a 9Mb/s cable connection and I STILL LAG!

Graphics: I still love the graphics of the game, but how do you release a game from alpha test with broken or missing animations. SOE has THE poorest testing/quality control of any company I know of.

Sound: Average. Sounds alone do not make a game.

Value: Sony & Lucas Arts have snubbed the current player base time after time. Now when you go onto a server, you will find nothing but new player Jedi. Most vets are gone, leaving nothing but a few players. SOE/LA won't admit this, but all you need for proof is to go on the servers and see.

My tilt: SOE/LA have ruined what was a great game. I admit, I did not like the first Combat Upgrade, but I learned to enjoy it. This "New Game Enhancement" is worthy of the ABYSMAL rating. The game has been over simplified, all of the diversity that made it popular is gone, the usefulness of crafters has been all but eliminated.

BOTTOM LINE: Two 15 month old accounts cancelled. See you in WoW!

    I have had the displeasure of spending nearly £300 on this game since I first started playing it (15 months ago) and it was all for nothing. I bought every expansion pack, enhancements, and paid my subscription without... Read Full Review

    If you want to have experience as an Alpha tester, this game is for you. If you want something enjoyable? Play battlefront 2. 1- The interface is horrid, you need 3 hands to use it. 2- This is no longer a MMORPG, ... Read Full Review
