Games Ratings

  • 8.5

    Graphics

    It won&#8217;t push your machine very hard, but the style is consistent and recognizably Star Wars.

  • 10

    Sound

    Voice acting is superb throughout, the orchestral sound-track slips in and out effortlessly, and everything from blasters to alien-babble is pure Star Wars.

  • 9.5

    Appeal

    Hundreds of hours of content at launch for just a single character. Playing new ones reveals a wealth more.

    Play

    PvP is brilliant, and the branching story is wonderfully complex. Classes are well-designed. A little quest variety wouldn&#8217;t go astray, though.

    Presentation

    The dialogue and story is why you should want to play The Old Republic, and it&#8217;s presented excellently. The UI needs much more flexibility though.
