User Rating: 7.9 | Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided PC
Well let me just say that the general concept of Star Wars Galaxies is great but not all that original. This game was made for obvious Star wars followers. I would not necesarily recommend this game for anyone who has no idea what star wars is all about. The game has many up's and downs. First of all the ability to be able to create a camp or a house ect... can be very rewarding when with a group of players. But a certain level of training is required to reach a point were building a camp is really worth your time and effort. As well generating money has to be the most frustrating part of Star Wars galaxies. In some cases the wapoint data and orange arrow do not show up. This can make it impossible to find your target destinations. However if u complete an imperial/rebel misson then u will recieve a large amount of money and othing insignificant as if u did a misson for the towns people. The graphics are well done epecially for an MM game. This is NOT a FPS so do not expect the graphics to be that of Battlefield 1942. They manage to recreat a believable city and believable faces. u acually think u r in star wars. Sound = excellent. The good old John williams theme does well in this game. Gamplay has a few things to work out. One connecting can sometimes be hard. Several times i have not made it online. In fact today all of the servers are down for some unknown cause. Learning the controls is a bit of a trick as well. it's not the standared key formation of W A S D. It relies on the arrows. But in to compisate for the confusing gameplay is the tutorial which is extremly in depth and helpful. This game is OK if u don't like Star Wars then stay away from it. If u enjoy the Star wars series than u may want to purchase this game. Check out all the reviews as well as Gamespots official review. When the game does work it can be alot of fun. In time as well the developpers plan to put in patches and new animals and other things ect.. The most important thing to remember about star Wars galaxies is that this game is MM and is always being up dated and improved. This is a game that develops in time.
