Average game, Long time player (An Honest Review) Rest of reviews are Hype and Anger.
Graphics are great, no other game can beat it. Sounds and music are super and give a star wars feel. The space part of the game is above par but needs some attention...more added...but otherwise its a good fighter sim. If you like space sims and space flight in general you will love the space part of SWG.
The starting game for newbs has changed drastically. Great missions and great backgroud though slanted on the rebel side (will make you grumble if your a roleplayer) The interior of the space station is great and us vets hope they add it into the regular game. On a whole i give the newbie experience a big fat 10 out of 10.. Loved it. The voice acting was great, action was non-stop.
The ground game has changed twice since i have been playing. They have yet to get it right...but as a player i adapted and moved on. There are alot of flaws and mess ups on the Devs part that need to be addressed big time. To their credit they have already shot two hot fixes since the new NGE went live. Need more? Oh yes.
Targeting is something you have to get use to but it keeps you on your toes. There are alot of little nitpicky things that get on your nerves that they have to fix...weapons are sub-par and have a bug that should be fixed in next hot fix. Armor is limited to only one type for one class...very limiting. Devs said they would change that. (Devs say that alot)
The Devs are working on some PVP activity. A point system for going PVP. This is very basic at its core and needs to be worked on but it does give some reason to go PVP and adds to the Galatic Civil War. Again they need to WORK on it. PVP is fun and thrilling to me and i have some type of reason with this new change.
Crafters and entertainers have been shafted to a degree. There is some space for improvement but the Devs have not told the player base what they plan. That is a BAD mistake. There are many players that want to be Crafters and entertainers and they left them out without a word. Sure you can still be these two classes but they are limited in what they can contribute to the Galatic civil War.
There was a shakeup at SOE.....
Strange things are Afoot.
But basically its still a game, no need to get a brain turmor over it as most the people in this review section have.
Try it with the 10 day trial...if you dont like it...then well...there is alway the sword and that fantasy MMORPG.
