Now that the NDA has been lifted, we're very likely going to see tons of 'Star Wars: Galaxies' coverage in the next few days/weeks. ActionTrip are among the first with a hands-on preview.
Here's a teaser:Finally, the next morning, I gave it a whirl once again, and one server was up and running, which was enough. As I logged on, I was immediately given a chance to choose my very own Star Wars Galaxies avatar. Sweet! The game offers an impressive selection of species and races to choose from; Rodian, Mon Calamari, Twi'lek, Human, Trandoshan, Bothan, Zabrak, or Wookiee. Well, after pondering my choice for quite some time, I've decided to go with the Zabrak - the horns are a nice touch and Darth Maul had it going on, so that's cool enough for me. Luckily, character customizing is flexible and straightforward, and yet at the same time, it is very detailed. In other words, I was given the freedom to customize almost every possible aspect and feature of my character. It took me a while to determine the eye color, eye shape and size, skin color, nose size, protrusion size, body build, short, tall, amount of muscle, how thin or fat, and even how old you look (you can add wrinkles if you so desire). Female players should like this one - as well as the option to adjust the bust of you character (Bigger boobies - Ed). Okay, don't scratch my eyes out just yet, but still you've got to admit this is a nice perk. |
