The main plot is interesting but what really shines are the innovative side quests that keep popping up. Piloting a Swoop for extra money, settling a Roshamon-style murder mystery to impress a Jedi trainer, or mediating a dispute between two rich families based on Romeo & Juliet. There’s lots more and the game does a lot to surprise you, never faltering along the way. It’s an impressive balancing act. Keeping things repetitive during the whole 50+ hours you’ll be playing, while still surprising you, making you laugh, or making you shake your head in wonder at what they’ve accomplished. BioWare has succeeded where Lucas has failed, this is Star Wars and this is the game you’ve been waiting for.
