Review 1 for Star Wars: The Old Republic Online
Amazing Game!

I was in on the Beta this last weekend (11/11-11/13), and I have to say the game was absolutely amazing. The game play, the story lines, the character interaction, the moves, the group dynamics... it was all astounding. Truly worth the wait.

Playing this on 3DS would be nothing short of lame. That is all.

I got this game when it first came out. I tried it when I got home immediately. Then I found out my computer didn't have the system requirements. It was too slow. So after about four months we got a new computer. It was an IMac that had the hard drive of a PC so the game could work. When I tried it it worked great. No issues but then the computer shut down. We didn't understand what happened but the person at the Apple store said the game had nothing to do with the computer failing. I then contacted SWTOR myself and asked if the game was the issue. They said it wasn't either. So what should I do now? Try it out again or give up trying to make it work. During the time I played the game it was fun, the story was in depth and you could make decisions that would affect the galaxy. Great game aside from the issues it had.

Star Wars the old republic is a good game based 300 after the events of Knights of the old republic. There are 8 character classes to choose from each with their own unique story. The game does have a few downfalls such as occasional server lag and the free to play option for the game.
The free to play option really isn't that good except for being able to play the game. The $15 a month is worth it.
I also recommend playing Knights of the Old republic 1 and 2 before playing to understand some of the events mentioned in the game.

EA has intentionally ruined this game, falling just short of being as bad as the launch for FFVIX and Diablo 3. Congratulations are in order for launching a WoW-clone with less action, PVP Grounds where Lv.10's are matched against Lv.50's, and toxifying the community with stale content and a completely useless crafting system. This game offers no incentive to play at any level.

Before I started this game, I was not a big fan of MMORPG, because I liked to enjoy an online game without any story-based theme. Then I heard that Bioware was making a new game. I was very hopeful because the same company that made Mass Effect was making an RPG game this time. Then I learned that the entire game’s theme was Star Wars. Being a great fan of Star Wars, it intrigued me to play this right away. I liked it when it had an opening credit like the actual films, and in-depth stories from every class this game contained. Being a kind of an adventure game and you can get your own ship and a number of companions to choose from as you level up, it is pretty great game. I have been playing this game nearly a year, and I have tried different types of classes. This is what I liked about this game: A player chooses a different path from the beginning that leads to different point, instead of everybody starting same and taking different curves slightly.
This game does have typical downsides for RPG games: It eventually gets boring. Other than some class quests, the most quests are similar among classes depending on a allegiances. I kind of got bored after 4 months straight, so I took a couple of months break to forget about the game and started differently as a different class. Now there is a subscription system. There are some differences and privileges for the subscribers that cause a gap among players. I was a subscriber for several months and now a free player and I do feel that having privileges does give me advantages to play this game.
Overall, this is a great MMORPG. Even though I may take some break for a while, I can come back to play this game anytime. I think this game will develop more in the future and I am looking forward to seeing it.

I've tried multiple attempts to install this game and it didn't work. Do not bother buying this game! Instead, buy another established MMO. This game is garbage.
Summary: This game is bad, but the service at Gamestop was excellent. Avoid this dud!

Honestly I do not understand why people say this game is so bad. This game is AMAZING. The level progression is probably the absolute best leveling experience I have ever done in any MMO EVER. The story missions are fantastic, and the quests are far from generic, plus theres full voice over. I have personally never done a quest where I have felt it was a chore. Every quest was fun and fresh, and the gear is cool and unique. At level 50 it slows down a bit, but to be expected your not questing as much and your doing the same ops and Flashpoints over and over for gear. People want to compare this game to games like WoW which has tons of dungeons but how long has WoW been out for? Not to mention WoW is BEYOND boring, its a huge grind fest with not a lot to do quest wise, there is absolutely no story nor voice over, and the character creation system is nowhere near as good as this game. This game is fantastic, and is going F2P soon. I encourage everyone to try it out and if you like it defiantly pick up a subscription for it(F2P is extremely limited) and play your heart out, you wont regret it at all.

This is just another MMORPG. Oh it is Star Wars skinned... without any of the "galaxy." Better options are out there, some better options no longer exist. If you must wield a lightsaber in your MMO, half of the classes wield glowsticks in a rediculous exhibitionist manner. The new race will be "Cathar." Definately not what the community wanted. And the updates feature various visual trinkets, not sprawling maps or open spaceflight. Back to the meditation chamber..maybe next Star Wars MMO

SWTOR is by far the best MMORPG I have ever played. The crafting system, PvP, PvE, Companions, Legacy are just awesome! There is always something to do or accomplish in SWTOR. Only wish there was more end game content especially for PvP.

first off this in not like any other MMO. or any other game for that matter. the cut scenes when talking to NPCs if amazing! it allows you to create a character with a complex personality and story. it is not unlike role playing. however the games combat lacks when compared to other MMOs. it is stiff and clunky with no real flow of battle. if your a role player go for it! ifyou want a hack and slash loot fest however i would not recommend.

This was a gift for me from my son, and I must say it has kept my attention for many months. I play it everyday. The character creations are very real, and you have many choices of types of characters (Toons) to choose from. The game continues to build from the beginning and continues with each character you create. (8 are available per acct),. which changes the worlds you must visit. Some characters share the same worlds. You can change from RP, PVE or PVP. I would recommend this game to anyone who has time on their hands.

While it's not quite the same as a KOTOR sequel, this bioware game channels the feel of that series into the MMO format. I have never played an MMO before this game, but as KOTOR is probably my favorite game of all time, I had to give this a shot. The character creator and storylines are rich and detailed, which more than makes up for clunky MMO gameplay. The music brings the feel of classic bioware games. Overall, I recommend this for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars, but not necessarily of MMOs.

Reading too many people complaining about a monthly fee obviously most MMO games start off charging a monthly fee only to later on go with a free to play so if you don't like to pay hold out until it goes free it's inevitable. Anyways about the game, the cutscenes are amazingly awesome and they will get you excited to play but the character creator is way too limited, you can't change the clothes and weapons you want to wear without changing the stats. The biggest problem I have is with the gameplay. A star wars game should be fast paced as you see in the movies and even in the cutscenes of this game they're jumping and flipping and deflecting everything but in the game the combat is slow and stiff. If they were to make another Star Wars MMO and just change it to action style combat I might enjoy it. MMO's have come along way and this one just seems to backtrack.

Our community was in beta and this game was one of the most disappointing games ever for the money spent and price. The graphics were poor and had clipping up to live release. The story lines were fun but the lack of endings and real changes based on your actions made the end game lousy and the replay value zero. The space combat was a mini game and was poor. They should have just re-skinned xwing. The distance and vast rooms were empty and the star ship closet was a joke. The space combat was worse than Star Trek online. The game is in my top ten worst games designed. This was a major disappointment.

The addition of the new side kick is great. I was really geting into the game and spending more time than I should playing it. Myself along with most of my guild have just about all left the game. Not due to qaulity but not delivery on what they promissed. They stated they were going to have cross server pvp fun. I joined this game because of this. It meant you would be able to keep the name and rep u built over time. Now Im bob101. Some ppl dont mind, but pvpers do for the most part. You build your rep for reason and hold other accountable for thiers. Now we cant do that. So myself along with many others they have disappointed will be moving on.

This game is exactly what it was made to be an MMO so to all the people writing the reviews complaining about the monthly fee,You've obviously never played a real MMO before, lol, all successful MMO's have a Monthly Fee, the monthly fee is there to help finance the costs to keep they're servers up and running... H*ll it even costs GameStop here money to keep this web-site up and running... lol so welcome to the 21 Century! *Clap* *Clap* Ohhh good, that's still working...

Not all real MMO you have to pay for, look at guild wars 1 and 2, and its sad now that this game is going free to play here soon in November 2012. but like you i guess all great mmo's are to have a monthly fee.lol

Ok first off worst idea ever ok. Pay as u play. Really? That is the dumbest thing I ever heard of. Second off the graphics are okay and quality is alright but before you buy this ask yourself am I really getting a good deal I mean paying the 15 bucks a month ( or whatever it is) to play this game is it worth it? If you think so by all means get it. I personally think its not worth it. The way it should be is give us a single player campaign with the option of paying to play with others. Not just force people to pay just to play.

Pay to Play? Really?

In my opinion there's no game worth $15 / month. WoW included. Would be different if it was say $7 - $8, but I refuse to pay that much for a game I probably wouldn't play much.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
I had a lot of fun with this game. I do not know if this happened to most people but it happened to me and it is that every time i walk inside a building i would start to lag like crazy. If i did not lag every time i went into a building then i would rate this game a 10/10. I am thinking of giving this game a second chance but as of right now i have to rate this game a 7/10.
