Pretty good overview of the game, I thought.

I won't claim that EA bought NPR, but I'll claim you're being misleading. NPR as a whole didn't give a review on anything. Someone wrote an opinion that NPR put up. Of course some people like it and some people don't, an official opinion from either side changes nothing for anyone. It's not like a review either way is suddenly going to change everyone's mind about how they feel about the game. Here are some straws if you're losing your grasp.

It's good to see that the highest authority on gaming is chiming in. I can't wait to hear what Oprah has to say about it.

The review is by the Associated Press. NPR is just reprinting it. Someone over there must like MMOs.

""The Old Republic" delivers a virtual "Star Wars" universe that blunts the level-grinding drudgery that typically saps interest in MMOs with something seen in the best movies and video games � a narrative with genuinely dramatic moments" A fair conclusion i think. It does blunt the grind, but thats all, its still there. And once you get past the story there is not a lot else. 3.5/4? I think its too high. But overall the review is one of the better ones I've read.

NPR and the back of a Cereal box can sing praise of this game to the high heavens all they want. Still doesn't change the fact that TOR is a half *** MMO.

I actually agree with the review. Spot on actually.
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. *Playing Since 12-13-2011*

Make a fast break, or that'll be the last mistake that <bleep> will make, is what you get for messin' with Master Shake.

Not knocking a positive review, but NPR? Honestly? They're notorious for having horrible taste in anything entertainment related (SOME is good). For instance, most of the music they review is some nobody, who usually sucks, that some college intern found and thinks they're cool because no one has ever heard of them before. I love NPR, but when they're reviewing a book, music, movie or anything else related to entertainment, I instantly change the station.
