Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Its been out for over five years at this point, KOTOR, but that did not stop me from waking up this morning with a terrible, life-altering need to play the game. Light and Dark side, male and female, I've played it all - and yet I still, after all the replays and years, love the game. Sure, five years later it looks a little simple and choppy compared to its grandchild, Mass Effect, but the storyline is something so captivating and the charectors so intriuging that I keep coming back time and time again.

*SPOILER* So, you're the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Reven, and the Jedi have managed to capture you and reprogram your brain so that your litterally tabla rasa, with the ability to fall to the darkside (thus proving that we cannot escape our pasts, that if you become evil, you were always dark) or rise into the glory of the light (proving that we choose to become what we do, and that circumstance is all that seperates the light from the dark). As you play you fall or rise according to your actions, all the while discovering more about your past and decay of the Republic, and can fall in love with your saviours and, in some cases, take them down with you. Save the galexy or destroy it. *End SPOLIERS*

But it is not just good vs evil, KOTOR is about what makes humans human, Jedi Jedi, and Sith Sith. KOTOR is far from a simple button-masher, it is an insight into Reven's psyche and your own. A must play for any serious Xbox player.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This game is amazing, if you like star wars and if you like video games get this one. It's fun and challenging and good for any star wars fan. It got game of the year in like 2003 (i can't remember exactly) from at least 5 different magazines and websites. super fun don't pass it off.

THE BEST GAME EVER and STILL PLAYING IT!!!!!!!!!! If your anything like the hard core Star Wars fan and NEED to learn the ways of the FORCE (or scwartz) then this game would still be played. Knights of the Old Republic game made me want to go out and buy an XBOX (which it did). This game includes a near endless ways on how you interact with the other characters (in a good or bad way) and gives you character creation options (limited but still creative). I love that the ending and story changes when you choose either the light-side or dark-side. Thankyou soo much for making this game for Xbox now please will you kindly make it for PSP too soo I can carry it wherever I go?

Some people claim they had problems with the glitches in this title. I never experienced any such thing. This is by far the best sci-fi RPG ever made for the original Xbox. The story is deep and compelling. Most importantly, it keeps continuity with the original Star Wars story. The feel is classic SW. HIGHLY Recommended.

If you like RPG's and you are even slightly interested in Star Wars the story and gameplay in this game are amazing. Although you must choose light or dark they are both a blast "dark is better they have cookies". You get light sabres and force abilities out the wazoo not to mention vehical races and more. GET IT!!!
