Game Description

Play One of Eight Character Classes in the Star Wars Universe!

Join the battle for the Star Wars galaxy! Do you want to play as a dark Lord of the Sith or a pure Jedi? Do you prefer to sniff out plots against the Empire as an Imperial Agent, or would you like to lead the carefree life as a Smuggler? In this highly-acclaimed massively-multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG), you make all the choices as you play through the galaxy-wide conflict between the Republic and the Empire.

You’ll have the option to join the Empire or the Republic and play through one of eight different character classes. On the Republic side, you can play as a Jedi Knight, a Jedi Consular, a Smuggler, or a Trooper. If you join the Empire, you can choose to play a Sith Warrior, a Sith Inquisitor, an Imperial Agent, or a Bounty Hunter. All eight class stories are woven into the rich fabric of the SWTOR story.

You're not limited to the human species, either. You can also choose Twi'lek, Zabrak, Cyborg, Chiss, Pure Sithblood, Miraluka, Mirialan, and Rattataki.

Amazingly Deep Storylines and Fully Voiced Gaming

Each class has a unique story, which is the strongest feature of this game. Your goal as a Republic player is to save the galaxy from being taken over by the evil Sith and the Empire. As a player for the Empire, your task is to crush the Republic and the Jedi. The game is set in the Old Republic era, about 3,600 years before the events in the Star Wars movies.

In SWTOR, you’ll be able to customize your character from the very start. You’ll choose the species, gender, class, and appearance. Your story starts as soon as the legendary movie crawl begins.

The goal as you play through your first planet is to learn how to use your unique set of skills, weapons, and equipment to complete quests and missions. You’ll gain skills and abilities as you gain experience points and levels. You'll also earn lots of credits that you can use to upgrade your weapons, armor, and even your abilities. Once your reach level 10, you'll have the option to select an Advanced Class, or AC. This lets you further customize your play. Each AC has three skill trees which refine your abilities even more. Choose the one that fits your play style best or that you think you'll enjoy the most. The goal is to have fun!

While you can play SWTOR solo and enjoy it thoroughly, it’s even more fun and rewarding to play the game with friends. SWTOR encourages group play with Heroic Missions, Flashpoints and Operations which require four, eight, or sixteen players.

The class stories are well written and completely voice-acted, which enhances role-play immersion. Each person can play as a Light Side or Dark Side character, adding depth to the dialogue choices. In addition, each class has five companions who join the player at various points in the game. The different options to complete their personal class quests and win favor with them add further layers of complexity. You’ll have hundreds of hours of replay available in SWTOR.

There's Still More to do in Game!

If eight complete stories are not enough, there are plenty of other things to do in SWTOR.

Crafters will appreciate that their companions gather resources and make items for them, leaving the crafter to continue gameplay. Why stand at a workbench when you can save the galaxy? You’ll be able to choose between six different crafting skills. Depending on what craft you choose, you’ll be able to make armor, weapons, upgrades for equipment, weapon crystals, stimulants, medpacs, grenades, ship parts, and even personal speeders.

If you were thrilled by the dogfights over the Death Star, you’ll have the chance to recreate the experience with space missions once you earn your spaceship. Once you reach level 50, you’ll be able to tackle the most intense Heroic space missions.

Do you yearn for elite missions that challenge you to the maximum? If so, you’ll love Operations. These eight- or sixteen-person missions will take you to some of the most dangerous parts of the galaxy for the most dangerous battles in the game.

Those who love player-versus-player, or PvP, play will find lots of it. There are PvP servers, open PvP regions on Ilum and Tatooine, and five different PvP arenas called Warzones. You can fight single players on PvP servers or have large faction battles in the open PvP regions. Most PvP players battle in the different Warzones. There are different objectives in each of these eight-versus-eight scenarios, such as holding points in Novare Coast or rushing through enemies to the datacore in the Voidstar. You’ll try to control turrets in Alderaan and open portals The Ancient Hypergate. You’ll even have the chance to participate in the infamous game of Huttball. It’s like rugby with fire pits and acid baths.

Sound and Light

Some of our favorite memories from the Star Wars movies are the twin suns setting over the sand dunes of Tatooine and the majestic music of the Throne Room. SWTOR does a phenomenal job with both. The 18 different planets all have different styles, from the Coruscant cityscape to the Tatooine sands to the breathtaking comets and asteroids in the Ilum night sky.

The music and voice acting add tremendous depth to game immersion. You’ll recognize musical themes from the Star Wars movies as well as both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games. Graphics and sound settings in game are easy to customize so that the game will run at its best whether you’re using an older PC or the latest machine with the most advanced components.

Who Can Play?

Double check your computer settings to make sure you have sufficient hard drive space and RAM. You’ll need to make sure your computer has the appropriate processor along with graphics and sound cards. Here is the minimum that you'll need to play:

  • Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz or better
  • Operating System - Windows XP / Vista / 7
  • RAM - Windows XP: 1.5GB RAM, Windows Vista and Windows 7: 2GB RAM
  • PCs using a built-in graphical chipset are recommended to have 2GB of RAM.
  • Video Card - Star Wars: The Old Republic requires a video card that has a minimum of 256MB of on-board RAM as well as support for Shader 3.0 or better.
  • ATI X1800 or better
  • nVidia 7800 or better
  • Intel 4100 Integrated Graphics or better

SWTOR is rated Teen by the ESRB. Romances are limited to a ‘fade to black’ scene after a kiss. There are some dark themes in the game, like slavery, assassination, and murder. There is violence during battles, and some of the Sith look downright scary. Parents will need to use their judgment when determining if SWTOR is appropriate for children in their very early teens.

The game is extremely accessible for those with disabilities or physical limitations. It won the 2011 AbleGamers Mainstream Game of the Year for its ability to be customized to meet all sorts of needs.

Guilds

There is a decent guild management system in SWTOR. Five people are needed to start a guild, and the Guild Registrar. Leaders have the options to add or change ranks and set up a guild bank. They can also determine officer permissions and bank access. There are many guild activities to do in game, from sharing quests to tackling Operations or Warzones to crazy hat costume contests. Guilds looking for more members can check out the SWTOR.com Server Forum for their server.

If you want to find a good guild to join, look through the forum for your server. Many guilds advertise there. Contact the leader and speak with some of the members. Try each guild out for a week or so and find if they mesh with your play style, interests, and gaming times. When a good guild coordinates activities, crafting skills, and events, everyone benefits from the fun!

Join the Fight!

However you like to play an MMO, SWTOR has an amazing storyline and a broad array of features that will appeal to you. Download the game and join in the fight for the galaxy!

Sorry, there was an error whilst submitting your review!

A confession: I have little experience in the world of online role-playing games. I did not fall under the spell of World of WarCraft, nor did I ever play Star Wars Galaxies. These games have spawned their own vocabulary, rules, and—in some cases—etiquette. I understand none of it. (Though I'm learning.)

It took the Bioware name and the Star Wars license to get me to install and play an MMO, and I have a feeling I won't be the only one coming to Star Wars: The Old Republic as a newcomer to the genre. During my pre-release access, I spent the first 12 character levels trying to do something radical: playing a massive multiplayer online role-playing game as if it were a single-player title. I simply don't have enough extra time in each week to become an MMO fiend—but group gameplay turned out to be hard to resist.

A single-player MMO?

This approach isn't as crazy an idea as it sounds; Bioware has told me in the past that The Old Republic contains multiple sequels to its well-loved RPG Knights of the Old Republic, since each class contains its own story and characters. Those are what I wanted to get at—the story, the voice acting, and the fun of a Bioware RPG—rather than the work of joining a guild, gaining arcane knowledge about MMORPGs, and dealing with other people.

I had plenty of mental adjustments to make. I couldn't pause the game for any reason, and progress gets saved to the server, meaning I couldn't do something and then reload a save game to try something else. Players ran about everywhere, even though the game was still a week away from release. Listening to a character talk about a secret mission while surrounded by a large group of people also going after the same quest proved jarring.

Unlike Knights of the Old Republic, combat happens in real time and consists of clicking on an enemy, using a skill, and repeating the process until they're dead. Forget stepping away from the action to plan your attacks in safety; once the bad guys pick a fight with you, it's difficult to escape combat. Every now and again another player would jump into a fight where I was overwhelmed, although there was no advantage for them to do so. I learned how to make sure my character was always buffed with skills and stim-packs to give myself temporary boosts in stats, which helped. I also began to help other players once I gained a few levels. It was only fair.

Using the minimap to find each new quest was simple. While some of them did seem to be of the 'fetch this for me' variety, I was pleasantly surprised that everything tied into my character's story. (I had created a Sith Warrior and was trying to play him as a light side character to see how well that worked.) The structure of the quests feels rather stock, but talking to people resulted in interesting dialog and some surprisingly hard decisions.

One of my favorite quests allowed me to deal with three prisoners and decide the punishment appropriate for each one. Some characters agreed with my actions, while others did not. Some seemed baffled by my insistence on doing what I considered to be the 'right' thing, and one Jedi even claimed that if things had been a little different, I might have found myself on their side. The story has a very slow burn, with few large events even though I'm around 15 hours in, but there was always a new character beat or satisfying moment to keep up my interest.

The early hours spent in combat were challenging, but only a few times did I find myself drowning. One character who seemed to be of the mini-boss variety beat me handily, so I left the area, killed a series of bad guys just to gain another level, bought some more healing items, and won on my second attempt. Soon I was given a companion in the game and was delighted to find that fighting alongside her meant I was much more capable on the battlefield. She could also go on missions without me to bring back loot, or even sell my useless items and bring me back some credits. An NPC to do my grunt work? I love it.

The game consists of large areas that swarm with other players, but once you select a mission and enter the green entryways that start quests, you're in area where it's just you and your party. Since I was trying to avoid the need to coordinate with other players, that meant the missions were performed just by me and my companion, which worked well. Even though I still couldn't pause, it felt like I was playing a single-player game, complete with impressive dialog and character progression.

The game tells you when your actions will result in a move towards the light or dark side, though it's not always clear which course of action is the best one. After I unlocked the skill tree, the game told me I could pay to adjust my skill points if I'd like—but every time I did so, the price for changing my character's build would go up. While the game is friendly, the stakes do seem higher than you'd find in an offline RPG.

The game tells you when you're going to need more people in your party. For instance, when I opened a Heroic quest, the game suggested I play with at least one other person. In another area, a character told me there are two paths to move forward, one of which is better for single players while the other all but requires a party of adventurers. All this information is given in a way that makes internal sense, so the fourth wall is never broken. You may have to skip some content if you're going to play by yourself, but the game will also let you know the best way forward if going solo.

Even though I wasn't being very social, the game has clearly been designed to include people who want to play alone, and it has options at every point to make that possible. I never felt like the game was hobbled by my decision not to partner with other people, but it turned out that some compelling multiplayer features make group play rewarding enough to entice even someone like me.
