Star Wars Galaxies Jump to Lightspeed Reviewed

Posted by Zonk on from the views-from-both-sides-of-the-x-wing dept.

UGO is running a feature on Star Wars Galaxies, a week after the launch of Jump to Lightspeed. They have reviews of the expansion both from a veteran player and from a new player to the game. From the Vet: "Jump to Lightspeed is a dream come true for many loyal SWG players that have been itching for a new reason to dust off that old flight stick or buy a new one." From the Newb: "As time went on, the bloom started to come off the rose, for a number of reasons." If you've been considering getting your dogfight on, give them a look.

    As long as you can shoot Ewoks like in "Star Wars: Battlefront", I'm in for this one! Wonder if they will have those shrapnel-shooting Corellian elite blasters that easily turn Gungan ears to tatters.

      You could travel to Endor and shoot Ewoks since the game was released. They're pretty tough. You can also hunt Gungans on Naboo. They're not the lowest level prey and some are tougher than others, but most are easy enough. Despite this, the combat is repetitive and mostly skillless. The space combat is supposed to be a bit more interactive, but I'm not planning on bothering with it.

    from the newbie review - "Does the air force require its pilots to buy their own F-18s?"

    I guess that's because from independance day on every fighter jet in every film is an F-18 no matter what branch of the military is involved.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
