Customers like the quality of the video game. They say that it's very story-driven, and loads of fun to play. The game is also fun to level up and play with others, and the combat is very good. They also appreciate the companions and the main areas of focus for the game. The presentation and the addition of a strong story-telling element are also appreciated. The PvP instances are fun, and it gives you a story you play in, making it one of the few MMOs that makes you excited to pick up new quests. The gaming mechanics are also great.

Customers like the graphics of the game. They say it looks great, the voice acting is superb, and it's a pretty game. The cut scenes are good and very well animated, and the planets are really nice.

Customers are satisfied with the voice overs in the game. They mention that the voice acting during questing is excellent, the story is amazing, and the fully-voiced storylines and quest dialogs are good. They also appreciate the use of fully voiced and animated cut scenes, which add to the already well-scripted game.

"...that every quest in this game (minus some side quests) is fully voice acted. AND THE VOICE ACTING IS GOOD!..." Read more

"...The voice acting is done very well. If you hadn't heard, every character is voiced, including your own, just like ME...." Read more

"...The dialogue over all seemed relatively good, and the voice acting in the MMO (much vaunted in previews), was relatively impressive compared to..." Read more

"...The fully-voiced storylines and quest dialogs are good, but it generally boils down to kill N bad guys, find and click N blinky things, or fight..." Read more

66 customers mention29 positive37 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the game. Some mention that the performance has improved, the graphics are good and the game play is smooth. However, others say that the system wasn't up to it, the lag was literally killing them, and the combat feels awkward. The game starts and progresses painfully slowly, and as far as graphics and gameplay go, it's beyond a.

"...There are downsides. At release, queues are a quite pain...." Read more

"...I think Bioware has done a good job of mission pacing and level pacing too...." Read more

55 customers mention15 positive40 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the game. They mention that it's not worth the money, the items you create are worthless, and the pay-to-play factor is a scam.

"...The downside to this is that it is expensive to do, and you get limited choices--usually only 3, and sometimes 2, in your responses...." Read more

"...The crafting is not worth any time or effort. The items you create are worthless for the most part...." Read more

"...It is worth every penny. I recommend that everyone should try the game. If you don't like the story, then cancel after the 30 day trial...." Read more

"...It's a single player mini game. It also gives a lot of cash and experience so I'd avoid if you don't want to level too quickly...." Read more

32 customers mention3 positive29 negative

Customers have issues with the ease of use of the video game software. They mention that the game is not playable until it gets there, has infinite issues with actual gameplay, and restrictions. Some customers are locked-out and unable to access the game or the homepage.

"...But there are deep issues with the game, both in the short term and the long term that made me decide not to renew after playing for the first month...." Read more

26 customers mention0 positive26 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the glitches in the game. They say that they are occasional and do not detract much from the experience. Some customers also mention that the boss design is terrible and heavily bugged. They also say that the Known problems are still not fixed and that the game pretends these problems do not exist.

"...Yes, there's a few bugs, and a few design deficiencies, and with a million pre-orders getting early access, there were some long queues to get into..." Read more

"...The enemies are either way too easy or are bugged to the point of impossible...." Read more

"...Although there are occasional bugs and glitches, I find that they detract minimally from my game experience...." Read more

21 customers mention6 positive15 negative

Customers find the installation process of the video game software to be difficult. They mention that the instructions are hardly helpful, and the online portion does not load at all. Some customers also mention that it takes all day to load and install the game.

"...heavily bugged (loot chests cannot be opened by players), and very easy and quick to complete...." Read more

"...I love this game, pure and simple. As far as I'm concerned, Bioware can do no wrong and this is no exception...." Read more

I love this MMO
5 Stars
I love this MMO
I've been playing MMO's for a long time and this is the most fun I've had in a game in years. The story is engaging, the combat is fun, the PvP is refreshing, you have space combat, companions with their own story line, and so on. Bioware has created an excellent MMO. It's not perfect, but no other MMO is perfect. Did I mention it was Star Wars. :)UPDATE: A few more things I enjoy about this game. World bosses, A whole planet dedicated to open world pvp and faction wars, Great story incentive to level all the classes, No summons, No LFG/LFR, Legacy incentive (coming soon, though you start to gain Legacy XP that is shared with all of your characters including a last name or title that you create.)Update 2/2/2012Over 2 million SWTOR units were sold in just over a monthSWTOR has 1.7 million active subscribers. "The majority of these subscribers are paying customers already."
