SWTOR game review and Wattpad.

So I'm redoing my novella and posting it to Wattpad (I much prefer there reading settings.) Want to check it out? :D http://www.wattpad.com/20246940-royal-family-chapter-1#comments there are 3 chapters our so far.

Ok now on to Star Wars: The Old Republic review.


I never considered myself as a die hard SW fan, I did enjoy the movies but I really hated the after stuff so much in fact I wrote a whole book of what I wanted as a after ROTJ reality.

I had no real interest in playing the game but for shoots and giggles after watching my brother play and the game went F2P I started an account. No regrets at all...by the way I waited about a week to write this so it wasn't done with a spur of the moment emotions still going on.
(The two sided Red Lightsabre looking awesome. Actually it could be any color I wanted I'd just need to buy the color crystals)

(This...badass right here is why I  started Sith.)

Game play: 4.5/5
Unless you have a great PC it's a heavy game so lag is common. And there are little bugs frequently( IE. dead npc's still standing).


Storyline: 10/5
Each class has a DIFFERENT story, you also get to make a lot of decisions on your own (Kill someone or spare there lives. Kill a lot of people or take out there heavy cannons and force them to surrender that kinda thing). It really made it so you really could build an indvidual character that was something completely it's own. Also having companions that you build relationships with and can even marry added a lot of personal flair to the game as an MMO.

I played a Sith Inquisitor (to 50 and various other alts to the mid of the story.), the story was truly epic and I also enjoyed that although the Sith are supposed to be the "bad guys" it's shown that not all of them are mindless psycopaths and you are able to be either a psychopath, a normal person or a humanitarian or somewhere in between as you choose.

Traveling: 4/5
The day Alderaan is destroyed no one will cry those mountains suck. There are some areas in the game they made travel so painful I even need to rate it on this review...mostly Alderaan really though.

Graphics: 5/5
Excellent, it was really reminiscent of stuff you see in the movies in my opinion.

Music: 4/5
Nothing really exceptional and most of the themes you've heard in the movies. All I can say *spoiler warning* when you become a dark council member and you sit in that chair and you hear the theme play your just fist pumping.

Overall: 9/5
It was a really good game, if you like SW even a little I'd strongly suggest you play it. They did a lovely job of making me feel like, WOW! They can't possibly top that! And then they proceed to make it even better.
