Video Game Reviews of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Collectors Edition
Customer Review: Certainly not for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
I went into Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) with the highest of expectations. Sure, I'd heard about a myriad of bugs and other troubles related to launch, but I wasn't concerned about that. I really was just looking forward to getting into the Star Wars universe. And SWG provides one of the best Star Wars experiences to date, despite its ever present flaws.
As it was a little over a year ago, SWG was a decent game. It had its problems (bugs mainly, which seemingly took months to fix) and, like just about every other title in the Massively Multiplayer genre, suffered from repetitive gameplay. These elements are still present - the development team often takes a long time to get around to bug fixes and, more often than not, patches or added content to the game leave much to be desired. Furthermore, the game recently underwent a complete rewrite, making it more of a first-person shooter/roleplay hybrid and the control scheme more similar to that of World of Warcraft. It was an odd thing to get used to, especially after two or three years of playing. Newer players, however, should have little problem adjusting.
The Collector's Edition is a good additon to your collection, if you happen to find one and have the cash on hand. It comes packaged in an attractive leather textured box with the logo on front. Goodies include a "An Empire Divided" pin, game manual with developer signatures printed on the back, and a pewter figurine of a female Zabrak, one of the many playable races in-game. The biggest selling point for me, aside from the game, was the art book included; art books such as these are often included in limited edition release packages and really are nice collectibles.
Now, I recently left SWG because I simply didn't like the new changes made to the game and because my life has taken me in a direction away from such time consumption. The game certainly isn't for everyone, but if you happen to be a Star Wars fan and have the time to devote to an online game such as this, SWG might be one of the better experiences you have.
