The Bottom Line:

"Solid"

I, personally was quite excited about this game coming out, and I was not at all disappointed when I finally played it. It is a solid MMORPG, but with less RPG and more MMO.
For people who are not fans of Star Wars, this game will most likely not tickle your fancy. But for those fans out there, this is one game thats worth all the money to play. Just to be able to experience the entire Star Wars galaxy as its whole is worth the money.
Star Wars Galaxies has many things going for it. Its a massive game, with tons of stuff to see and do. The world is shaped by the players- You can create towns, houses, and outposts. Join either the rebels or the imperials in a never ending battle. Experience famous characters from the movie and do an immense amount of quests.
As good of a game it is, there are some cons. There isn't much depth to it, the quests are broken and do not string together too much. Its up to you, pretty much to make your own entertainment. Once the update came out, the leveling system was not as good, and a lot of people stopped playing.
Nevertheless though, SWG is still a great game, even now. And i dunno about you, but I'm looking forward to that KOTOR MMO :D. But for now SWG will have to do.
