I LOVE :D Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic. There isn't a better opened ended RPG out there right now. The story, the characters, the action, and the villians make this an awesome game. Not only that, but you can choose to be good or evil.

You'll start off picking from three different classes, soldier best with weapons and feats , scoundrel has the most skills, or scout which is balanced between the two. The background story is that there was a war between the Republic and the Mandolarians, and the Republic was losing. Two Jedi, Revan and Malak, gathered all the Jedi that would follow them and went to war against the will of the Jedi consul. Revan and Malak won the war and then disappeared. A year later Revan and Malak returned at the head of the Sith fleet. For three years Revan and Malak had the Republic fighting for it's survival. The Jedi made a desperate attack against Revan, using Bastila, a jedi with a rare gift called Battle Meditation, they boarded Revan's ship. Malak saw his oppurtunity and fired on Revan's ship, hoping to kill Revan and the Jedi on board. With Revan gone, Malak is destroying all that resists. Malak is now hunting Bastila for her gift, and it's character's job to protect her. Eventaully, you'll get to go to a Jedi Acedemy and learn the ways of the force.

So, if you have played Jade Empire and not this I suggest you get it. Even if you're not into to Star War this has nothing to do with the movies so it's still enjoyable.
