Overall:      9
Gameplay:  9
Graphics:    9

Gold Y Award

The Good: Huge; great interaction possibilities, yet open to a lot of solo play; well balanced characters and special classes; ties in well to the KOTOR lore and the expanded universe as a whole; 200+ hours per class; fully voiced conversations, and plenty of mission variety
The Bad: Early teething problems are annoying; won't appeal to Star Wars haters; not a huge step forward in the world off MMOs; still using a premium subscription template despite many games moving to F2P
