Title: Star Wars Galaxies
Producer: Sony Entertainment
Best price: 49 USD

Before I start, I need you all to relate with me on a different level to the point I am going to try and make. Ready? Good. Imagine you are in a restaurant in which you have to pay a $15.00 a month membership fee to eat there. You buy your dinner at $49.99; which on the menu looks like a perfectly cooked steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, a side of corn bread and a tall ice cold beverage. Then the server comes up with your raw hamburger, white potato soup, and a glass of rusty water. Now imagine the server telling you that in order to be able to get the meal you saw on the menu, you'll have to pay your membership fee for 6 months, and then the possibility of seeing that meal will come to arise, but we cannot make any promises.

Star Wars Galaxies (referred to as SWG from here on out) is a culmination of false hope, empty promises, and over hyped delusions of grandeur. What could have amounted to a fantastic world in where you can take the role of a hero in the Star Wars Universe that a lot of us have grown to love through the old movies, or even the new; turns out to be an utterly rushed disappointing disaster of epic scale in the MMOG genre that leaves the player paying $14.99 a month for the developers to finish the game they had hyped oh so many years ago. As far as I am concerned, this title will go down in history as the worst MMOG launch ever known to mankind. And unfortunately, it takes a verifiable and powerful Star Wars license down right with it. Read on, and you will see what makes this game the pure disappointment it has become. Not only from a game systems stand point, but also from a plethora of bugs, and lack of content from a rushed release.

SWG takes place just after the time frame of a blown death star, and before the battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. The time setting is perfect for creation of an MMOG, as the world itself is in an epic struggle in a light Vs dark battle. At least it was in the movies. The character creation process is very unique by today's standards, and is probably one of the best things about SWG. You can choose from different 8 races including, but not limited to, humans, wookies, and Trandoshan's. After you choose the server you which to play, and the race, you will be guided to a character customization process which will highlight this review. One of the best things about SWG is the customization you can give your character. From eye color, to eye size, to even nose protrusions. You name it, it is in the process. Even aging your character to make him or her look older. Some of your best fun in this title will be creating what will be your look for your characters lifespan in the game. From there you will be able to choose a base profession, and will be thrown into a tutorial to learn how to play and interact with your fellow players.
