An eight-minute trailer of the much-anticipated game, “Star Wars: The Old Republic” was recently released at the PAX East 2011 gaming convention in Boston.

The promo of the BioWare and LucasArts' space-based game depicts a story set during the time of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Encountering friends and antagonists, the player struggles his/her way to advance across the galaxy.

Star War archetypes & characters such as Jedi and Sith are also present in the game.

The gameplay looks quite a lot impressive and the graphics looks better than those witnessed in the earlier games of the highly-popular series. However, the voice acting is not as good as anticipated.

Star Wars: The Old Republic, which is expected to provide the Star Wars experience like never before, is scheduled for a release sometime in May for the PC.
