Welcome to Tattooine: What the game has to offer

With the Star Wars Universe being very expansive and practically spanning from planet to planet, the game incorporates key planets such as Tatooine into the whole game. You would get to experience how life is in Luke Skywalker's home planet or even go to Hoth where the rebel alliance still had their base there.

You are given a considerable amount of areas to cover and everything is put that is part of the whole Star Wars franchise is inserted into this MMO.

There are some features that the game has however that you can only enjoy if you invest money into the game. For example, you can get to enjoy having your own ship that is like the Millenium Falcon. You can get to enjoy this though if you buy the game's expansion.

Star Wars Galaxies is a game that has a rich history and considering the fan base of the movies, a large fanbase as well. The game offers a true Star Wars experience like no other however, for a game that's already half a decade in operation there are a few problems the game must fix.

The first thing that the game needs to fix is the dated graphics engine that it uses. If swg credits wants to be at par with the games that are in the front of the MMO race nowadays the game needs to have cleaner sprites, better landscapes and more detailed design specially nowadays when even F2P games push a computer's graphics engine to its limits. Besides, who would want their Wookie to pass through an area that is littered with "stuff" like some ghost right?

Another thing is that the game controls needs to be tweaked. The game controls feels clumsy especially if you are not used to the keyboard for movement. The game's clumsy controls remind me of the Resident Evil console games though the Star War Galaxies' controls are smoother.

The game's camera view as well needs to be considered. The game's camera view twists and turns in an awkward fashion that sometimes this hinders your line of sight. This may not be problematic if you are just adventuring but this would be disruptive when laser barrels have begun shooting.

Even with the problem on the game controls and view, you shouldn't count the game out. The game has a lot to offer besides carrying the famous Star Wars franchise on its back.

The game's audio is something that is taken directly from the trilogy, who wouldn't be excited to hear the familiar Star Wars theme as you start the your character creation. Unlike in most games out nowadays the game's BGM is suitable enough to the overall feel of the Star Wars Universe.

What would a Star War's game be without the amazing FMV sequences? Star Wars Universe has one of the smoothest FMVs I've seen thus far, of course why would you not expect it? Lucasarts, the company that practically built the whole Universe is the game's publisher.

Besides the aesthetics and game's sounds, the game features are something that attracts the player into the whole thing. Who wouldn't want to become a jedi and wield the world famous light saber? Or even become a bounty hunter? Or if you fancy yourself trying a new character class that earns more experience as a non-combatant go with the medics or entertainers.
