Star Wars: The Old Republic Review by bad-apple 2012/01/16 09:29
Star Wars: The Old Republic isn't the next step in online role-playing games. Instead, it's a highly entertaining refinement of what has come before it.
The Good
Outstanding production values capture the vibe of the Star Wars universe Companions add depth both to the story and to the gameplay Combat is exciting to watch and hear Eight fully voiced, branching stories give you a good reason to reach level 50 Crew skills keep things moving by automating gathering and selling.
The Bad
Instancing can make open areas feel empty Frequent, uninspired corridor levels Shallow space combat is a missed opportunity.
