There are tons of side quests, missions, and mini-games apart from the main thread of the story to keep players entertained for weeks. There are swoop races to divert you for a while, and even a card game you can play with various locals from every area that is reminiscent of the one employed in Final Fantasy 8 (though not nearly as confusing). Also, since your party will be ruffling more than a few feathers throughout the galaxy, even taking a trip in the Ebon Hawk (a Millennium Falcon type starship that serves as both transportation and home base for your party) can prove tense. Players will have to man the gun turrets several times to ward off various attacks. In the Hawk, the party will travel to such diverse planets as Taris, Dantooine, Manaan, Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Korriban, and a few surprise locales. Each planet has it's own role in the main story and each offers a myriad of side-quests. This is a 40-60 hour game presented here.
