At long last, BioWare and EA have flung wide the doors to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Can this new take on the MMORPG make the jump to hyperspace?

BioWare-style storytelling flawlessly integrated into MMO gameplay; Huge game with hundreds of hours of content; Companion system ensures you can always progress; Fast-paced and rewarding PvP Warzones; Top notch music and voice acting

UI needs to be more customizable; Needs more explicit tutorials for non-MMO players

I love it but I didn't like that you use the product registration code I should of told you that if you use the code but I dint told you . thank you for the star wars collector edition I like that you didn't open it and have anything broking you should of told me that you use the code but dint ask...

It's been something like 5 years in the making and you can really see what all that time & money went into. With fully voiced plots that are mostly excellent quality, you're really drawn into the story.

This is by far the best game I've ever played, fun all the time no problems, the soundtrack sets off the game nicely and I don't plan on stopping any time soon!

Everything; the game play; no bugs; little to no lag; tons of fun for hours on end.

All nitpicking; taking cover from the smuggler and the imperial agent isn't my favorite ; also with a slow router the updating is slow (duh

Seven years ago, a little game came out and took the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) world by storm, you may have heard of it: World of Warcraft. Love it or hate it (and I'm sure theres plenty of support out there for both sides) it is undeniable that WoW has utterly...

As far back as I can remember I've been playing RPGs, adventure games, and MMOs.  As I sit here I can see Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Neuromancer, Final Fantasy, Wing Commander, the Crusader series, Septerra Core, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Kings Quest, BioForge, Pools of Radiance, Curse of the...

I finally started playing Star Wars: The Old Republic in an effort to review the new Legacies system that has been added to the RPG. The problem that I was having is that to access the Legacy system, you have to get at least one character all the way through their first chapter quest.

The noob perspective on Biowares newest MMORPG OK, so you need to read this review in context – I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I have played every game, I regularly quote the films, I've read the books – I even have a Jedi tattoo. I love it.

Huge; great interaction possibilities; yet open to a lot of solo play; well balanced characters and special classes; ties in well to the KOTOR lore and the expanded universe as a whole; 200+ hours per class; fully voiced conversations; and plenty of mission variety

Early teething problems are annoying; won't appeal to Star Wars haters; not a huge step forward in the world off MMOs; still using a premium subscription template despite many games moving to F2P

MMOs are a plague on the world of gaming. Because of this, I felt absolutely no joy as I went into Star Wars: The Old Republic (hereafter referred to as SW:TOR ). Instead, I had a bottle of Advil sitting beside my laptop as I got ready for what I was sure was going to be a massive headache.

What do you get when you take a game development studio known for crafting fantastic single-player role playing games, add in their first attempt at an MMOG and set it in the most prolific science fiction universes ever created?

Good graphics; great sound; fully voiced missions; strong focus on character story allows single-player RPG experience in an MMO environment; relatively solid launch; Star Wars and MMOG fans should be pleased

Space missions could be better; crafting system needs more items for lower levels; galactic market interface needs some work; various bugs
