This is one of my favorite games all of time. The gameplay is amazing, with free battle, not turn based which turns most action gamers off unless ur a hardcore RPG fan. Anyways the gameplay is fun as crap kicking ass using a variety of styles of ninja moves. You can learn attack styles which inflict damage, support styles which leave people unconcious and stuff like that, or weapons style, which do damage but also take away your focus meter. CHI is what u use to do powered up moves and restore your life when your low. The characters in your party are all very unique and you can only have one out at a time which is pretty neat. The whole empire is a massive world with loads of side quests and the dialogue is just pure amazing. So far ive beaten twice and got the neutral ending and the evil ending, and am palnning on getting the light side ending. Bioware are geniuses when it comes to storyline in ther video games as they plug twists and turns like anything. When i played this game i was thinking i will not let bioware trick me three times, but what do u no. they happened to do it again. get this game. it kicks ass. One one complaint i have is if you stay on the main quest the whole time it is very short and easy so i suggest you do most of the sidequests if you can.
