Pros: A dream come true for most Star Wars geek gamers...almost.
Cons: Many glitches. If you want to be a Jedi...you must learn patience in R/T.
Summary: I recall the day that SWG was released. My roommate, then working a third shift job, drove straight from work to EB, then fabricated a story to ensure that he could get his grubby mitts on a copy. He burst into the apartment doing a jig, happily ... read more

Pros: Space, Star Wars
Cons: Juvenile players, SOE, cliched missions
Summary: I picked up SWG just after the now infamous NGE debacle (I won't go into this, too many other people have), and found myself engrossed in the seemingly 'alternate' Star Wars universe I was presented with. The graphics, whilst not up to the standard of ... read more

Pros: Great animations and graphics very fluid since not many are online anymore
Cons: Some people get very emotional on their game play or lack there of.
Summary: I have been playing this game for about 3 years and have seen minute and dramatic changes in game play. In the old days Pre-CU (Before the Combat Upgrade), the profession of Jedi was virtually unattainable to anyone without a considerable investment in ... read more

Pros: It's star wars
Cons: no longer MMORPG style, horrible customer service, lots of bugs that are never resolved
Summary: I've been playing this game almost since launch and it was a wonderful competitive, complex, fast-paced, character building, unique game from all other MMORPG style games in the industry. I, like many, am a big Star wars buff. The community was huge and ... read more

Pros: Graphics/sound rocks
Addictive once you get into it.
Can solo or group
Awesome crafting
Cons: Grinding
Hard to learn
Horrible customer service
Summary: Well it turned out my own isp was to blame for the lag. Although finding this out had nothing to do with a csr helping me..so in retrospect Id say the lag isnt as bad as I first thought, still the customer support on this title is a pain and any ... read more

Pros: The player base is awesome! Lots of content. Lots of different things to do.
Cons: Game constantly changes. New bugs every month. NGE is awful. Professions are not balanced.
Summary: I have been playing since Jan 2004 and my wife started playing shortly thereafter. We now have three accounts total and we played 4-6 days a week for at least a couple hours each time until the NGE (New Game Enhancements) came online in mid-November ... read more

Pros: Used to be fun, graphics are nice, sounds are good, JTL is pretty decent
Cons: Horrible new combat system, player base dropping daily, no longer unique, lag, poor customer support
Summary: This is my opinion and my experience, you can choose to believe it or not. First let me say, i am still a player and have been since launch of the game. It used to be a unique game, in that it has great graphics, HAD a gaming system like no other, ... read more

Pros: Most likely will be dead by spring of 2006
Cons: Most likely will be dead by spring of 2006, Sony ruined a great game!
Summary: For those of you whom liked swg for it's original feel and gameplay wave good bye. The combat upgrade is nothing but a ripoff from games such as worlds of warcraft, Ever Quest2, and Guild wars. On top of that the devs rushed to push the revamp live and ... read more

Pros: Nice Graphics.
Content that keeps you engaged, so long as you do Combat stuff.
Cons: AWOL Development Team (usually)
Social professions need a lot of help
Poor communication from Devs
Summary: I've played this game for 6 months now. It's a lot of fun, and friends are what keep you coming back. The graphics are cool, and the options are endless. Sort of. The single greatest drawback? The development team for this game. They focus ... read more

Pros: Excellent theme, graphics, sound, and good fun!
Cons: Grinding for XP is monotonous at best, hard for the casual gamer to get into.
Summary: Few games have ever been as highly anticipated as Star Wars Galaxies, Sony’s Star Wars-themed massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) offering. From the outset people knew this game was going to be different, and they couldn’t wait ... read more

Pros: Excellent for fun and socializing with other humans
Cons: requires pretty steep computer system upgrades
Summary: I started playing from day 2 of the release. I still play and have a great life inside the game. I have friends that will last forever. Now, to the game itself... Since it is an online game with an everchanging world, don't expect for it to have an ... read more

Pros: It's the ultimate game experience so far.
Cons: Some immature attitudes to take with a massive amount of salt.
Summary: Oh the woes of PC Gamers! We complain about almost everything and anything in games, but none as much as the ones called MMORPGs. We don't get enough help, we don't get enough content and we don't have anyone listening to us when something goes ... read more

Cons: Lag in heavy traffic areas, slow customer support, one character per server, buggy

Pros: it is Star Wars, it has some good quests
Cons: way too much downtime and need of entertainers and medical centers
Summary: I am a social gamer. I don't have tons of time to be playing on-line games even though I try to. I find it takes too long to level and there is too great a need for the reduction of battle fatigue and wound healing. In my opinion there are too many pro ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, new take on professions and skills, ability to solo or team easily
Cons: Single character servers (semi-plus, semi-con), can't be a Jedi without a LOT of grinding
Summary: I have a confession to make. I am not a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the movies, don't get me wrong, but it is not a religion nor a lifestyle for me. Thus, I will not have tons of Star Wars info to put into this review. In fact, when I first ... read more
