User Rating: 10 | Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic PC
Without a doubt this is the best Star Wars game that I have played and one of the best Role Playing Games I have played too. Knights Of The Old Republic is a very unique Star Wars game which offers an experience no other Star Wars game has. The game is set 4000 years BBY/Before SW 4. The galaxy is facing dark times as after the death of Darth Revan, his apprentice Darth Malak is waging war against the republic and countless Jedi are being slain or are turning over to the Dark Side. The game starts off aboard a ship known as the Endar Spire,which has been ambushed by Sith the, over the outer rim world of Taris . You escape from the ship just in time as the ship blows up and crash land on the surface of Taris. Luckily the Jedi Bastila Shan whom you are supposed to be serving under has also escaped the Endar Spire but has crashed elsewhere. As the game progresses you eventually steal the ship known as the Ebon Hawk from a crime lord and start your journey. You go to Dantooine where you are trained in the ways of the Jedi exceptionally fast and then on the orders of the Jedi masters present there explore an ancient ruin present nearby. You find an ancient incomplete Star Map and than learn of something called the "Star Forge". You are then entrusted with finding the other Star Maps to find out the true location of the Star Forge. Your journey spans across the worlds of Korriban, Kashyyyk, Manaan, and Tatooine. The choices you make along the way determine the fate of the galaxy. You can choose to be a Jedi who ultimately saves the galaxy or a Sith who takes over the galaxy. You will meet various people and creatures, make friends along the way, and help people with various problems, and at one point you can even become an arbiter, a sort of lawyer, for a friend of one of your party members, searching for clues to clear him. You can also enter swoop races and take home lots of money. Other than the story, the gameplay is unique with a unique battle system. You can queue up attacks and various force powers to battle enemies which include Sith also. You can find lightsaber crystals to upgrade your lightsaber and you can get various items with which you can upgrade certain armor and weapons. You can control the turrets of the Ebon Hawk sometimes if Sith fighters are on your tail and you can blow them to bits. The sound is superb. The sound is unique for every place. Great attention has been paid to the small details as along with background music you can hear the beeps of astromech droids and other various objects too. Non human voices are incredibly real. Twil'ek voicing has been given, along with that of Duros, wookies, rodians, protocol droids etc.There is also a Jedi of the same race as that of Yoda and his voice sounds exactly like Yoda! Perfect sound has been given for swoop bikes too.
The difficulty is also just right, not too hard for first timers. The graphics are great too, not too demanding. All in all this game is a must play game for anybody especially Star Wars fans like myself.
