I was in the final Beta Test for SWG and can tell you this game is going to be wonderful. Granted, even the developers say that it could use a little more content and it WILL be launching with a couple of bugs. But hey, what MMO doesn't? :) But the content coming as patches (player cities, vehicles, mounts) in the next couple of months is alone enough to make it worthwile to get off on the ground floor of this game. Character classes are diverse, the spawn is dynamic, and the worlds are beautifully crafted. DON'T miss out on this one.

Best Online Game Ever Made

I was a beta tester for this game and now that the non-disclosure agrement is over, I can tell you that this is one of the best games to ever come to the market.

The graphics are way above anything I have seen in Everquest© or Asherons Call©. Advancement throught the Star Wars Universe is easily done. There are hundreds of options to chose from for a career ranging from Bounty Hunter, to Weapon Crafter, to Brawler, to Terra Kasi martial arts. To advance in one field you will need to have friends in another field of the game, or be a multiple field character. Throughout the game there will be raids on random cities by either rebel or imperial forces. Depending what side you chose, you can help with the raid or try and stop them. This gives you a feeling like your making a difference in the Star Wars Universe.

I give this game 5 stars for its graphic appeal, gameplay and immersion into the Star Wars Universe.

Highly Adictive

i don't even get to play as often as i want to but i still love the game. i love the interaction with other players (this being my first PVP game). But being a devoted star wars fan I was a little skeptical when i heard form others its not true to star wars. While there are some odd things, I find it fascinating. A great mix of OT, PT and EU!!

Yeah there are bugs but they get fixed pretty quickly. It would get 5 stars except for the loosing of my clothes form time to time. With the advent of Player Cities I am haivng even more fun, meeting new players and exploring new areas...

I am going to be purchasing more memory due to lag-but its worth it.

Just make sure you have the min requirements before starting.

From AC and AC2 To SWG

I was a long time player of Asherson's Call and Asheron's Call 2, I decided to give Star Wars a try.. heck I am a fan.

I have to admit the game is far better then I expected. A player can be anything they want, if you like dancing in the local cantina or healing wounds in the Medical Center or even exchanging Blaster fire with some Storm Troppers this game is for you. The UI is fantastic, the sounds and graphics are very immpressive and offer a true sense of immersion into the Star Wars Genere.

Being a Seasoned MMORPG there are a few things buyers should expect. You'll need to understand that things change, and what is the funniest thing today may get old tommorrow, SoE and Lucas Arts do a great job keeping the game updated on a monthly basis. If your a First Time MMORPG player or a seasoned player or just a Star Wars fan, I am sure you can find something to do and have fun with here.

I give it 5 Stars, great game!

Not what it should be, but still fun.

I will keep it succinct.

The game is good, I have loads of fun, mostly because I love the Star Wars Universe.

Does this game have what I feel it should have? No, there is plenty I would change. In fact, I feel that SoE is doing a poor job of maintaining the Star Wars Universe.

Nevertheless, it still is fun.

Immersive Moves up a Notch

MMORPGs always attempt to build worlds that are immersive, seemingly real. Star Wars Galaxies moves up a notch from all previous games by making characters VERY customizable. So very much so that if you were in a room of 100 player Wookiees, chances are you'd not see any 2 alike.

SWG also has a vigorous player economy. Everything from food to weapons are made by other players and available from a central marketplace much easier to shop than EverQuest's "Bazaar." You don't even need to meet the seller in person, or even have them online at time of purchase.

SWG features all the familiar alien races you've seen in the movies, plus some new species you've probably not seen before. It has varied and diverse planets, a wide variety of places to see, an easy way to begin "missions" that you can do solo or join together with friends to accomplish, and of course the Rebel and Empire sides to the civil war... you can elect to choose sides or play neutral. For those who like to pick a faction but do not particularly like Player-vs-Player conflicts, you may elect to go "covert."

This is the next generation MMORPG, built on a lot of valuable lessons learned over the years from successes like EverQuest, carrying it forward to a much better and more exciting set of possibilities. This actually inspired me to quit EQ in favor of playing SWG!

I was not a huge fan of the Star Wars universe, but found myself very compelled and entertained by the intricate crafting, constructing, and unique character profession building in this game. If you even THINK you might enjoy playing in the Star Wars universe in an MMORPG, you cannot miss this!

The Collector's Edition adds some nice items to the basic game, plus gives you some equipment (goggles) that distinguish your character from the others who didn't buy this edition. Of course if none of the styles of goggles suit you, you may elect not to wear them.

It's still alive

There is little point in buying the collector's edition unless you want your character to have goggles and it's very difficult to get hold of the collector's edition these days.

If you want to play Star Wars Galaxies you want the 'Starter Kit'

'Star wars Galaxies Starter Kit'

Although in previous years this MMORPG has been much better the game is still very much worth playing and enjoyable.
