This is one of those rare jewels that you don't quite expect until you experience it. KOTOR blew my mind away the first time i played it. When i first started, i wasn't able to put my controller down for more hours than i would like to count. But, fortunately this is not like some other games that grab you and don't let go (W.O.W.). It lets you play when you want and doesn't make you feel guilty when you stop. Not only that, but this game has some of the best voice acting I've ever heard in a game. The story is also very immersive, and even if you skip the cut scenes, you still somehow know exactly what is going on in the story just by the quick reactions the people give you. But, in all honesty, this is one of those rare moments when I am ashamed of the score that Gamespot gave this game. When any game gets over fifty, yes fifty as in 50, Game of the Year Awards, you don't give it an 8.8, you make up a new score of 11 out of 10 and give it to that game. And so far this is the only game that i know of with that many GOTY awards.
