Even though no news sites are allowed to posts images or write reviews about the UK Press Event a few pictures has already shown up. This one was posted by Stephen Reid, who buys his contact lenses online, via Twitter just before guests showed up:
I expect many interesting reviews, pictures and movies to show up the comming weeks, until then, we have to settle for the hands on that was posted on the official forums

Only got to level 4 but I absolutely loved the voice over. Even the random NPCs standing around which don’t have much of a purpose are talking to each other and they have voice over too whilst they chat, continuously found my self stopping and listening to what they had to gossip about.

I’ll get this out of the way first and say that I had had a great time at the event. The game was fun and all of the Devs were awesome. We all got a t-shirt and a signed poster, more awesome.

The story was very gripping from the start, I found myself skipping dialogue only because I did not want to get too engrossed in the story due to time restrictions.

I made a couple of notes:
The PCs were set up with either 4 republic or 4 empire characters (one of each class) It made me think that the game is set up so that you are locked to one faction per server. There were empty character slots on the start screen, and I can’t think of another explanation why they didn’t have all 8 classes on each PC.

Added Information
When I was given my first quest to collect the Holocrons (only to find out later that one was missing), I thought it would be the basic Fed Ex quests you see elsewhere.

I found that the graphics were brilliant, I found a balcony with an impressive view where I could see other players running around beneath me, giant Sith statues in the distance looked clear (there was no lazy obscuring the view with fog here), there were ships flying overhead, and I could glance up to a balcony above me and target the NPCs chatting there.

Did I just have a hyper-sensitive mouse or did others need time to adjust to how minor movements would rotate the character so dramatically?

This one is going to be brief I’m afraid as I’m currently at work. I also won’t have a chance to follow this thread for any questions, so if anyone wants to ask me anything please ping me an IM.
