It was a lot more fun than I expected. The Sith story line was engaging. Not worthy of a novel or anything, but fun for a game. There are so many visual elements and EU lore that just don't make sense, so if you're a purist you have to super-suspend disbelief.

The game world felt overly restrictive, no room to explore as everything was constricted to paths. The story likewise keeps you on a narrow track, though compensates by providing a semblance of choice. I made some choices I'm not entirely proud of...

Combat was fun, I played about 4 different classes and they all felt powerful and were able to heal themselves up quickly between battles. There was no death penalty I could discern, except having to go back to camp if you die too much in a short period of time. Nice change from other games.

I have little interest in continually paying for a game, but maybe if I were more enthused about the current state of Star Wars (or more into gaming) I would.
