Star Wars the Old Republic
Coming in, as number one on the Top Ten MMORPG List is Star Wars The Old Republic. Also being the most recent MMORPG to hit the scene and from the first moment you will be lost in the wonderful Star Wars universe. It's mechanics are much like those of other MMORPGs that we have all grown to love, with quest givers waiting for you to talk to and the usual quests dynamics.
However Star Wars The Old Republic takes what works and makes it an amazing experience, when you first start you will choose which side of the force your character belongs to - The Dark side of the Light side. Depending on which side you choose will influence the races and class's you can choose from, and you can also become better or worse by making certain decisions during some of the quests. The battles are great, lasers flying around and allies light sabering people really brings a good experience to the MMORPG game in general and its a lot of fun to run around taking out droids. The story that you will progress through will be different depending on your class and some other factors and some of the class's have better stories than some of the others. The one thing that seems to be missing from the combat is the auto attack move, this means that in between all your special moves you will have to manually make your character use his or her basic attack, which does force you to pay more attention but can also become a bit of a chore. There are solo mini games where you can fly around in space taking things out but we couldn't help but feel this didn't seem complete, why not have a huge PVP battle arena with everyone flying around firing laser at each other - that would awesome and could very well be a reality in some patches to come. We just had to put this up there as the number 1 one game for our Top 10 MMORPG Games List as it brings back so many fond star wars memories and is a blast to play, also as its only new there is a lot more content to come and we will keep you updated with everything Star Wars The Old Republic. PROS - Star Wars MMORPG! <> Great Graphics <> Fun and engaging battles <> Lots of room to grow <> CONS - Not a lot of innovations at the moment <> Space flight seemed incomplete <> |
