Overhyped and Outdated.
Good:
Bioware quality story driven class quests.
Some very nice story drive sidequests.
Good voice over acting.
Bad:
Terrible texture quality on clothes/armour.
Bugs still present from beta that prevent class quest progression.
Bugs still present from beta that block companion quest/story.
Overall graphics quality is horrible aside of character faces.
Severe FPS/Latency issues that come and go can play 1 day but not the next.
Planets are not actually planets at all there is no exploration just very linear paths much like in a FPS game.
Far too many credit sinks early on you are forced to PVP or farm repeatable space missions to earn credits.
Overall:
The game imo is far from ready to be released it should have spent several more months in development. The graphics are simply laughable for a game released in 2011 and my machine can run games like the witcher 2 on a mix of med-high setting.
The planets are nothing like planets from say Star Wars Galaxies which where huge planet maps, over all the game has no sense of exploration even the flash points you get on certain worlds you are shuttled to a fleet then shuttled to an instanced map.
Despite the graphics being so bad myself and many other players on a variaty of builds from just meeting the system reqs to well over-meeting them had serious problems running the game on its LOWEST setting and with several things like shadow/grass turned off.
