Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Review

IGN PC has whipped up a review of Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed, giving the MMORPG expansion an overall score of 7.9/10. Their closing comments:

Well, the action parts are fine but the repetitive content and slow skill progression are just too frustrating. Players who have made it through a few professions on the ground will have some idea of the investment required to master piloting or ship creation but keep in mind that you can only work on piloting skills while in space. The journey to master pilot tests your patience more than your skills or inventory.
People who are already enjoying playing Galaxies should get Jump to Lightspeed to complete the overall experience. It adds a vital component to the game in terms of content (i.e. flying in space) and in terms of convenience (i.e. having your own ride from place to place). It’s harder to justify Jump to Lightspeed for the new player who’s primarily interested in getting the space experience. It’s rewarding in the short term but it grows tedious too quickly.
