The best MMO to date!

Difficulty:
Just Right
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Highly addictive"
For starters: World Of Warcraft 10 times < than SW:TOR.
This game is very alike to WoW but it's expanded. The first and most epic thing about this game is that every class has their own storyline and all quests/missions in the game have a cinematic where you can reply positive,neutral or negative and affect the storyline as you progress. Remember in Gta IV where you could save or kill a person, in this game it is exactly the same only with a longer and more epic cinematic so every npc in this game has a voice actor.
The game starts off very deeply and taking you deeper to the story and just waiting on what's happening next. The missions/quests aren't like: walk up to the npc, there is a bunch of mambo jambo text, reward and then you click accept. In this game you are taken to a cinematic where you can reply the npc AND if you have a party member(s) they also appear in the cinematic and you can do it together.
The combat in this game is amazing and every class is so unique, this game is just so epic, sometimes you forget that this is a MMO but in a good way. The combat isn't slashing or just shooting and the enemies just die always with the same old animation. Combat has loads of animations and the combat is just so solid. The most unique combat in a MMO game which makes this also best to date.
As I said before, the game takes you deeper every time:
Levels:
1-10 - You are in your origin/starting planet area and do very intresting story missions and meet other people.
10-20 - You are starting to make a name for yourself and you explore whole new things as the world itself, crafting, crew members, advanced skills, double - sided /double - wielded lightsabers, guns. PvP also starts from level 10 but haven't tried it, I don't like PvP, it's always unbalanced. Never liked it actually so it wont affect my rating for this game.
20-30 - You are on the quest on getting a speeder, your own spaceship to travel from planet to planet, getting a big crew, missions from planet to planet.
30-50 - Become the most powerful sith lord/ jedi knight/ bounty hunter/ first class troop. Fight your way in the epic combat, do epic missions, get the best gear in the game.
One more really good thing about this mmo is that everything is really easy to understand and all the '' best gear in the game '' can be accessed already at level 10, not worn offcourse not by a longshot but can be accessed in the shop/vendor.
This game is very cool, epic, just superb. This game is mega super... why look at the time, I need to go play this now.

  3. SWTOR manages to introduce new ideas to the MMO genre, but lacks features usually standard in online games in 2012.

    Review Stats:
  4. The great stories of the classes are shrouded by the repetitive and lackluster quests and combat.

  5. Star Wars: The Old Republic tries hard to set itself apart from the other MMOs thankfully it does enough to do so...
