Summary: Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG
Review: Okay you want to know what I have to say about this game. I think it is the best MMORPG( Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) ever. I have been waiting for this game to come out for almost 2 years and I have been waiting and waiting. I remember seeing Star Wars in 1977 and was stunded on how great it was, i have been a fan ever since and you know what to all the other fans of Star Wars get this game you wont regret it. The BEST MMORPG rated by E3, most anticipated game of the year by another company. So get this game and BE PREPARED to be in awwww when it comes out

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gamers go ahead and buy
Review: This game isn't just being produced by LucasARts; Verant Interactive has been a partner in the game from the beginning. Verant is the creator of the EXTREMELY popular Everquest game and expansions. Yes, you will get charged a monthly fee. Yes, you will probably have to buy expansion sets every now and again. HOWEVER, the design of the game is set up for Entertainment alone. Many people will spend hundreds of dollars to get 2 hours of entertainment at a Major League baseball park. Whereas months of playing Star Wars Galaxies will be nowhere near that cost, and you don't even have to fight traffic! I have been looking forward to this game coming out for the past 2 years, now I will finally get to play a Jedi! I look forward to seeing you all in a galaxy far far away.

May the force be with you!

Summary: Star Wars Galaxies: best game at E3
Review: ... You will be required to pay a certain amount... per month to support ongoing cost of the developers. That subscription pays for new features developed into the game on a weekly and monthly basis, additional new content, and bandwidth (this is an online only game), along with friendly technical and in-game support (an area in which LucasArts really shines). For a measly $nn per month... subscription you have unlimited opportunity within the Star Wars universe to live out your dreams. But if you're cheap, stay away: you dont deserve such an awesome game. Visit the website. Learn a little about this game before you judge it. It will be the hallmark game of the 2002 year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BUY IT
Review: I think this will be one of the greatest games ever made for a computer. It puts a Star Wars fan, or a curious gamer right in the movie with the freedom to do just about eveything they want to.......including building their own cities, becoming a Jedi, Bounty Hunter and lots of of classes right down to a Cook and Dancer. You can make items like Lightsabers, blasters and can choose the color of them. You smuggle cargo from planets to help your commrades in need. You can even take a group of friends out Rancor hunting. Not to mention the wonderful graphics and outstanding visual effects. These are just a small amount of things you can do in Star Wars Galaxies...
I hope this helps........I am just a kid.........
HAPPY GAMING!!

Summary: A Galaxy Far Far Away...
Review: I was privileged to attend E3 this year, and I was witness to the amazing new product that is Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.

All I can tell you is this; wives and husbands that have spouses that play MMORPG's, get used to being widows/widowers. Fans of Star Wars, be prepared to live out your dreams.

This game does not just cater to the power player that just wants to become powerful and rich. This game allows a person to simply immerse themselves in the Star Wars worlds. If you have 10 minutes and just want to escape, you can come to this galaxy and just relax, there are plenty of things to do, like hang out at the local cantina, or chat with a star faring smuggler about his adventures.

Identity is amazing. The sony developing team have gone beyond the scope of any developers so far. Your characters are so customizable it's scary. Want to be a lanky Twi'lek (jabba's dancer), how bout a hulkingly fat Wookiee (too many wookiee cookies)? it's all here for you to make yourself individual and identifiable.

Welcome to a galaxy far far away.... You will be drawn in, you will want to roam the worlds and live an adventure of your own. Who knows, perhaps you too could rub shoulders with a fledgling Luke Skywalker or feel the wrath of the powerful Darth Vader....

may the force be with you

Summary: Buyers should excercise caution with upcoming game
Review: Ahh yes, a new Star Wars RPG. Everybody's excitied. The previous reviewer mentioned being immortalized. Well, guys, you're up for a disappointment.

Aren't you forgetting how these things work? You think this will be free to play? No! Don't forget the purpose of games: to make money. As will it be with this.

An Empire Divided will milk money from your pocketbook. The more you want to play, the more you have to pay. These games fail. They always do. They're designed that way. Yes, it's beautiful in concept. Yes, it should totally rock.

But it wont. It will be just like all the other star wars games of late - mass produced and cheap. The only good one is Jedi Knight II, but that's because it has a history. It has a family. This game is just another lucasarts sale ticket.

Let me tell you what will happen. You will come home with this new game. You will be totally excited at the new shiny box, brandishing all the latest in graphics and reading all sorts of good reviews. You will play it for a while, get immersed.

Boom, your trial period is up. Now, each month it's time to pay your star wars tax. Is a computer game worth re-buying each month? For the same money you could but two or three new star wars novels, or even better play Jedi Knight II, or join an online star wars text based RPG. You see, those games are made FOR fans, this game is made FOR money.

I urge caution with this game. It may look nice now, but it's simply playing off the success of the hastily made star wars prequils. It's a hype sucker, and it will suck the hype right out of you as you put it in a drawer and don't look at it for months.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worthy of the name Star Wars!
Review: I Have really been looking forward to this game for almost a year!!
for those of you that are just hearing about this game it takes place in the Ep 4 -6 time pirod where you can live on planits such as Naboo Hoth Yavin 4 and Chandrila.
The game lets you fix up your person however you want changing all parts body armor hidden guns if they can do it in the movies they can do it in here. You Can build your own houses and Shops, Bars, Bases, Hidouts (For Bounty Hunters)
In Galaxies theres a range of schills such as Jedi, Bounty Hunting, Jedi giving you schill in combat and resoning schills Bounty HUnting giving you schills in tracking, Aiming, and Combat schills. If you belong to a clan you can create your own Town for your clan in your town you make the laws you can let anyone in you want and keep out other clans :)
I'm making this sound like a kids game but this game is for all ages what I have said so far is what they tell you on the web sites what they dont tell you is how you can build empires and rule the Galaxie:P
in later Exp pack you will be abel to fly your own starfighters and sharships fight with other gamers in space and take on star destroyers if your dumb enough :) anyway BUY this game!!!!!!

Summary: Love or Hate
Review: Allright, I'm finally going to post a review. After many months of reading some of the reviews people post, I feel like its my turn to say whats on my mind. First of all, let me say that this game is a drug, and you can easily become an addict. The game is so much fun that it becomes the highlight of your day on most days. I go to school full time and I'm currently in the military and still find time to play, even though most times its at the cost of sleep. When you first start of the game, you'll probably be lost for a couple of weeks, I suggest you join a major guild, If interested you can always join DMG-i in the Gorath server, we'll be more than happy to help you. After you receive some help and guidance, you'll be able to start enjoying the game alot more. The graphics are spectacular 4/5, The sound is Great 3/5 and if you like the star wars theme then you can go as high as 5/5. Here is where it gets tricky, this game is not as fun unless you want to get to Jedi, cause thats all the content it has. You can pretty much do anything in the game, its like a sur real world. It seems as is the devs are trying hard as of lately to improve the fun factor in the game, and it is showing, in the last patched the game has become alot more fun than ever. Please try in and if so, play in Gorath server, DMG-I is our guild.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Addicting, but repetitive... expect more from Sony and Lucas
Review: I've been playing this game for a while now. Here is what I see from the game.

Positives:

1) Addicting!!!! I'm talking "I'm gonna lose my job because I stay up all night playing this and almost fall asleep at my desk" type of addicting. Yes, this is more addicting than Bejewelled.
2) Creating Characters. Bar none, this gives you the ability to create the most unique look. I've never seen two people look exactly the same. I mean it literally when I say that there are a million possible looks.... even down to the arrangements of the freckles on your face. And that is just the human race. There are other races and so many options you can take with each.
3) Different types of experience/diversity of professions. There are so many professions you can undertake. You can be a medic/doctor and heal yourself and others. You can be a scout and trap animals. You can be a merchant. You can be a dancer/entertainer. You can even be a politician and run for office!! There are just soooooo many things you can do and become on this game.
4) Even if you can play for 15 minutes a day, you can still get stuff done on here. Or, you can spend hours and hours playing. You can even set up a macro to do some things for you and then walk away from the keyboard for an hour or two and come back to see how you did. Very useful for surveyors and medics!

Neutral:

1) Limits on skills. I think this number is waaaay to low. You can master two or three professions and then, that is it!!! You can unlearn these professions and start learning another one. This is good so that no character gets too powerful, but this is also bad because you can't have two characters from the same account on the same server. See negative #5 below for more info.
2) Graphics/sound. This is okay. I'm not blown away by the details of anything out there, except for the character generation of course, but I've also seen much worst. The sounds are okay and I find it a joy to hear a lot of sounds from the Star Wars universe. But from a game sponsored by Lucas and written by Sony, I would expect more in both categories.
3) The $15 per month to play. Yes, you need to pay to play MMORPG's but I would expect much more for the $15 I'm spending. I would be more than happy to pay it if I was getting my money's worth. I don't feel I am, however because there is very little variety in game playing and questing.

Negatives:

1) Lag. If you are around others or have just entered a town, the lag is unbelievable. It is hard to imagine some people play this on dial-up. I get a lot of lag for a high speed connection to the game.
2) Grinding for experience. Sometimes you need to do something again and again and again to build experience in a certain profession. If you want to be an artisan/crafter be prepared to make a lot of something that ends up getting destroyed and never used. Prepare to make it again and again and again and again..... This can be very boring. Almost every profession requires something boring like this. The only exciting one I've found is being a marksman or brawler where you get experience points for fighting and even then this is rather boring. See #4 before. For $15 a month, I'd expect more. It would be nice if there was tasks you could take on for some professions to help build the experience and add variety to the game.
3) This is a resource HOG!!! Half a Gig of memory and 4GB of hard drive space?!?!?! Come on!!! With this type of demand on my system I would expect much more.
4) Same-ol' bad guys. Okay, I do quest after quest and they are all almost the same. I fight the same small band of bad-guys, get my reward, and then repeat. There is not much in the ways of getting different quests to perform.
5) Can only have one character per server. This is the reason I'm not going to play anymore. I wish I could build many characters on one server so I can still play with my group of friends. I would like to have one character with a certain skill set and be able to swap him out for another character with other specialties for a certain quest. However, each character you create has to play on different servers.

So, if you like Star Wars, give this a go. You might find it addicting to. As for me, I'm bailing as I am switching over to World of Warcraft which seems to overcome many of these weaknesses... especially negative #4 and #5. That just kills the enjoyment for me.
