It seems that OXM have already reviewed the game, giving it a final verdict of 7.5

Grrr, wish I could read it better (no offence mate). 7.5 is lower than I was expecting as a mark though.
 They don't seem to think that highly of the storyline, too linear? Bah, that's kind of lazy. -------------------  | |

quote Curt ConnorsI didn't take these pics, if I did I would have made the writing clearer. This magazine is from the OXM US, I'm from the UK. (They don't always have the same score for games) Anyway, it is not as though its a bad score, although I'll admit I was expecting around 8.0.. ------------------- | |

Nah it's not bad, but I was really expecting something spectacular. Making an RPG style game with completely linear gameplay does seem a little lame to me

I just get the impression Lucas Arts backed away from making it 10 out of 10. Who knows why, maybe it's the developers fault or the game ideas just reached a conclusion. I really hoped it would be one of the Star Wars greats but 7.5 is just average. At least its a complete story within one game though.

Oh, haha. I didn't realize they had such a lame abbreviation.
 But regardless; I don't care for that magazine publication, and I'd rather read what GameInformer and GameTrailers have to say. But hell, I'm buying the game anyways. ------------------- | |

quote DragonMaster DyneNo worries. I wouldn't really judge the game by one review, usually I just wait until GameTrailers review a game. ------------------- | |

I get what you mean about how you can't rely on one game review, but the idea of a game in the sprawling Star Wars universe running on rails does put me off, and that sounds pretty factual.
Rent it first maybe.. ------------------- | |

Imagine Mass Effect but in the Star Wars universe.
Now that would have been amazing. ------------------- | |

Something like that is what I was hoping for
 I just find games that run on rails really boring, with the power of the new consoles. ------------------- | |

well...there's always the demo coming out tomorrow to let us know how the game will be...even if it's jsut a little taste
Mass Effect in the Star Wars Universe = Knights of The Old Republic...maybe the other way around since KOTOR was released first | |
