"What is the Best Star Wars PC game to buy?"

Well, three impressive PC games have been added to the selection.

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

I am wondering what the best is to buy. I am soon going to get a high speed internet connection (256k or faster), so I am wondering what the best is to buy of the three.

Thanks, [email protected]

I liked the duel lightsabres, would be fun to use them in online matches.

Academy is very good, but stupidly short (I managed to complete it in a couple of days) but there's replay value, since there are different characters/lightsabres and paths to choose.

knights of the old republic is the best

I only got as far as playing a demo of Acedemy but felt it was too similar to Outcast to be worthy of a purchase. I did enjoy the multiplayer of outcast though, lightsabre duels against other players not to mention using force powers to push people when they where jumping in mid air then watch as they plummet to the ground below was very fun.

I expect Acedemy to be the same, though with double sided and duel lightsabres mutiplayer game may be more enjoyable than they where in outcast.

I've been putting off buying it for a while, mainly because I couldn't spare the time or money, but I've recently just got my shares from work and will be off for two weeks soon so I'll definatly see about finally getting it.

I have an idea get, Jedi Academy AND kotor both have been out for a while now and you can probably get them both cheap on e-bay. I have played and completed both games and I think both are great. KOTOR is great if you want to feel something emotional as you play and Jedi Acedemy is great if you wanna slice people up in real time with a light saber.

p.s. If you get jedi academy download a dismemberment mod.. watching storm trooper heads getting loped off is real treat lol.

Knights of the Old Republic

Yeah, get KoTOR, you won't regret it. It has a few faults but it is a very good game.
Academy was better than outcast, IMO, Outast took too long to give you your lightsabre, that annoyed me, but with Academy you have it right from the start. There were more lightsabre duals too and they were great, especially on little walkways over lava. Great fun.

Cipro, buy KOTOR now.

Galaxies was great a few months ago, I couldn't get enough of it, and then I started to get bored.

The constant updates meant to fix problems actually added to them, getting to the higher trades meant spending hours grinding away at experience points and I don't know who at Sony online thought it was a good idea to have speederbikes and landspeeders take on damage every time you drove them, it's bad enough you have to shell out on expensive user created items, but to constantly spend money repairing your bike was a drain.

It's got good potential, but I wouldn't recommend it right this minute, best wait and see if it gets any better.

Otherwise I'd recommend either of the other two Star Wars games. Not played KOTOR myself, but hear enough good reviews to know it should be at the top of your list, haven't played Jedi Academy either though it doesn't seem to dissimilar to Jedi outcast. A fair single player game, though if you want Online Star Wars that should suffice.
