The new EA game release this month is SHATTERING RECORDS. Star Wars has been a household name for generations. Almost everyone knows something about Star Wars. George Lucas captured hearts when the Saga first began. From 1977 on, Star Wars was making kids and adults alike want to become a Jedi. Who wouldn't want to wield a light saber and possess the power of the force.
With the new release of Star Wars the Old Republic coming to stores this holiday season on December 20th, EA has been shattering records. Overwhelmed with pre-orders, EA sold out of their 150$ collectors edition online in the first 48 hours. Bioware and EA make it easy for someone to live out their childhood dream of being a Jedi like Obi Wan, or hunt down their enemies as Bobba Fett.
The Game itself is amazing! Traveling from planet to planet and exploring the galaxy is unreal. If you have never played a massive online multiplayer game, then this is for sure the one to try first. The first ever fully voiced storyline is here and that is what makes this game stand out from all of the rest. Scrolling through text and reading the mission at hand is a thing of the past and I do not think anyone will miss it. Every mission, every person, and everything in the game basically have cinematic cut scenes that draw you in and make you really involved in your character. It makes you embrace the Star Wars Universe and feel like your character has an large impact on the surroundings environment.
People who truly doubt the game tried the beta and were highly impressed with the gripping storyline and the action packed game play. Along with playing with an incredible amount of people online, this game will not disappoint.
Now more prepared for the opening Launch, EA and Bioware conducted one of the largest Beta stress tests in history. With an estimated 1.6million people logged on in a single weekend, EA preformed up to par. So many people were very satisfied with the results of the test.
EA and Bioware have truly developed Star Wars The Old Republic to be a game for the ages. Millions of Dollars invested and a gigantic staff already employed. The Game itself is only going to expand for years to come. The Pre-order record shattering was enough to say that the fan base is ENORMOUS. The global fan base for Star Wars will just continue to expand. It is a Saga for the generations and this game pull push through to a new time of Massive Multiplayer Online Game. I hope star wars the old republic meets all expectations. Explore the Galaxy. As Obi Wan Kanobi said "May the force be with you."
