My OperaStarWars the Old Republic

I have been under a non-disclosure for this game and have not been able to talk about it until yesturday when they lifted it.
I want to be fair in this outlook to a game Based on a Movie series I rather enjoyed until Jar Jar made the scene. So I will try, but it will be difficult.
STARWARS The Old Republic, has its flaws and its spotlights. Its StarWars, and the first time you step foot on the Republic Home World, you feel as if your in the movie... cant say the same for the Empire, it does not make me feel I am where the dark sith would reside.
Game Play is everything you have seen in MMO's since World Of Warcraft made the scene, the speeder bikes are a rip from Dark Age of Camelot and the horse pathing, Matter of fact this felt a lot like DAOC just skinned in StarWars themes. For a Game that should be cutting edge, the graphics suck.. it looks like 10 year old models and skins. The Music hardly ever matches up with what's going on, I happen to have a great Gaming PC with all my graphics set to max... and the skinning still sucked. If your gonna put in dancing girls, go for it or for get it. You tried to be all PC about them and skinned them horribly. Stretchy skins look horrible..
Things I liked were the interaction of the scene NPCs and the group your in.. very cool, and the StarWarsness of the game. The Story is not bad either. So if you go into this as an interactive movie, that has bad voice acting and blotchy skins, some borked or broken scenes, then you may enjoy it.. if your just a Star Wars Nerd, you'll dig it, even though you should be pissed that this is what they gave you, when games like Guild Wars 2, Rift, too name a couple are far ahead of this in graphics and innovation.
