I'm not willing to judge it that quickly. In another thread here, I commented it's a combo of dark alliance/KotOR (the combat is action oriented, you don't issue an attack command, you have to go hit stuff). If it is, in fact, filled with dumbed down RPG trappings, I would say it's on par with most efforts these days in the CRPG genre. The interface is real smooth and there is depth when conversing with the denizens of the realm. I'm looking forward to seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes with regards to world construction. If they have done a good job in creating a rich and convincing history of the empire, I think it will be a worthwhile experience.
ajdaha,
Not sure where you live but I think the game has received a lot buzz here in the states. The bioware name pretty much sells itself. The forums are packed around the clock, day after day, so I don't really think too much of an advertising campaign was required.
Now, as for here, I didn't expect there to be too much buzz on the JE forum.
