Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands-On Preview

BioWare has just released Dragon Age: Origins... Mass Effect 2 is on the horizon... but there's a third game in development at the RPG mega-studio and it is none other than Star Wars: The Old Republic, the company's foray into the MMORPG genre. X-Play's Matt Keil recently got to check out the game's final two classes, the Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor, and was kind enough to write-up his impressions:

"While the Jedi Knight is patterned after characters like Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Consular is more of a Qui-Gon Jin or Yoda type of Jedi. Whereas the Knight is melee oriented, the Consular is much more focused on Force abilities and will play a support class role more easily. However, unlike previous game incarnations of the Consular, The Old Republic version will be able to function as an offensive character as well as a healer and controller."
