Very poor rehash of a reasonable RPG now with terrible UI with the RPG elements removed. Badly flawed false FPS.
What is left is a buggy mess of features which do not sit well together. The "FPS" style combat simply does not work. The game engine was originally built for combat lags of 2-4 seconds and it cannot cope. You shoot and stuff flies out your gun, but damage may not be registered for several seconds.
All weapons do the same damage at the same level, tough crafted weapons are slightly inferior to looted weapons. Melee combat does not work properly and ranged weapons have targeting problems.
The game has been "sped up" which means that everything moves fast and jerkily and animations have been doubled in speed, even some that should not have been - which gives a nice caffeine addict twitch to things.
Every novel feature of the original game has been removed, from its huge choice of professions (30 down to 9), skill based system, multiple professions to the inovative and deep crafting system.
At best a pale shadow of a game, but for new players a buggy mess of incosistent and poorly designed ideas.
Though it retains the name Star Wars it bears little resemblence past the terribly cheesy stock photos of the film cast on some screens and a nice opening sequence. It certainly does not live up to the normal high standards of a lucasarts title.
