Summary: Good Buy!
Review: Many people thing that this is a waste of money but it isnt. Even though you spend a couple bucks more buying the 60 day prepaid card. It is safer than puting your credit card over the internet.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There Is No Need For This
Review: I cant believe that people are selling this for $30! Lets think, galaxies costs around 10-11 dollars a month. So in 2 months or the 60 day that the card gives you, without the card it costs 20-22$, but with the card its $30. I guess that 4 star wars trading game cards are worth 10 dollars!
Please I simply want to open your eyes. Do Not Get This Card!!!

Summary: SWG updated reviews
Review: I have been playing this game for about 1 year now. Although it initially had alot of bugs in it due to the DEV's wanting to rush everything out...they have since included multiple patches and mini publishes to enhance the game's overall experience. Is this to say the game is perfect? By no means. However, I see it continually improving as time goes by. It's pretty much like any other MMORPG simply with a different flavor/setting. The graphics are intense, and you can have your character highly stylized in appearance.

Approximately every month or so, a new publish comes out to enhance the game's overall experience. In the near future, the Jedi system is getting a complete overhaul in the manner of how the force sensitive slots are opened towards the path of the Jedi. It will no longer be a grinded profession series to master, but instead players will have to advance through a series of quests and such. Content is improving for the crafters side of the house, of recent note was the new improved droids, and the Image designer upgrades, both worthy and interesting to note.

Also of note, new quests are coming out for characters to be challenged on. Some can be solo'd others require a heavy amount of teamwork.

The price of the game is dropping to a more affordable level as well, so as to make it easier for players to enjoy. In the near future, an expansion will be coming out ( Ive heard fall of 04),
So players will be able to go into space with thier own starships.

Overall, this game is worth giving a spin or 2, I enjoy it immensely. Good luck and Good hunting to you all...

Summary: PLEASE DONT BUY THIS!
Review: I've played video games since the days of pong and you've probably went ot see the reviews on the star wars galaxies product site. There are a lot of people writing reviews that speak lowly of this game and there are those that speak highly of it.

Be careful when you read the reviews. always look at the date. alot of the reviews were written by beta-testers of the game and people who've only read other reviews before the game was actually realeased.

With that said. SWG had a lot of potential. but fall short of anything new. In my other review...Han Solo was no taller than a Jawa. The Devs and CSR have no idea what they were making...I suspect that they have no idea what Star Wars is.

The character creation is a lot of fun, but does not include all the species....After creating ur character be prepared for the crazed player - driver -economy. There are a couple of money exploits that have driventhe economy to a rapid state of inflation that is ruining newbie players' chances of getting decent weapons and armor at a fair price.

The whole process of becoming the altruistic and wise Jedi is build on a system catering to power-gamers. You have to master a certain amount of professsions, approximately 6-8.....No easy tasks, but it's different for every player. The DEVS have implemented Holo drops that will tell you what professions you need to master to help waster your time mastering a profession that isn't necessary. But for those who are looking for the holo, be prepared to be isulted, cursed at, and even have your kills taken away from you b/c the holo hunt have gone absolutely crazy. Everyone is trying to get a holo, if not to become a jedi then to sell them for 15 million credits...Holos drop fro certain NPCS that spawn inspecific locations, and these places are camped by eliet professions that have no idea what a true jedi is.

The game is disappointing in that the DEVS and CSR do not respect the crafting professio class so much as the content of the game. In a rush to bring out player cities and mojnts, the DEVs negelected to iron out all the bugs in the game and left a lot fo players with problems that they have to deal with on their own.

The publice forums www.starwarsgalaxies.com is no longer public b/c the DEVS do not want you see to how bad the game really is. Even when you post a thread regarding the details of the problems they delete it and ban you from the site. I know I was banned this morning.

Obnoxious and rude poeple are inthe game and there doesnt appear to be any enforcement of these kinds of players even though SOE has said that they are committed to making the game a friendly environment for all people.

Exploits are still in the game and the DEVS have not repaired them, but have ruined the gameplay of other classes and professios by nerfing them.

There are a lot of other bugs with this game that could take years to write. But the most important thing that I believe a player should realize is that you won't get the star wars feel in this game. I was so sorry to have bought and played it, that I do not wish this on anyone out there. I hung on for 4 months hoping that the game would get better..but it didn't....All teh players that I first met in the game have all left. Do not buy this game card...try it out for one month first...and then cancel...better yet..dont buy the game at all...May the Force be with you.

Summary: milkman's review is 100% inaccurate
Review: Star Wars Galaxies does NOT cost $10-11 a month. It costs $14.95 a month. $14.95 * 2 = $29.90.

milkman clearly does not know what he is talking about whatsoever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: We love this game!
Review: This game appeals to a broad spectrum of people. I've been involved in chats during the game where young teenagers are saying that their moms love SWG, too. The players who seem to be the most frustrated with this game are the ones who want to get to the end quickly in order to say, "I won." It's about building your character and having fun along the way. Sometimes the bugs are bothersome and figuring out where to go & what to do can be confusing. But other players are so willing to help out. Again, we love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Immersive and addictive but ohh so great :)
Review: Those of you who play games to say you've finished it stay away from SWG. There is no end to this, and I love it. As a character you meet and become familiar with others. Going on hunts, gathering resources, and generally having fun. It's true that the grinding part of the game is arduous, but the rewards when you acheive master are great. It's a sad day whenever you have to drop skills you've worked on so you can learn another skill. Those who are most disappointed in the game are those who play merely to become jedi or those who wish to be Luke reincarnated.
