Beautiful, a game that Star Wars and RPG fans have been waiting for. For the most part, an instant classic in the genre
The story of the game deals with the battling Republic, on the verge of collapse, from the evil Sith Empire. From when your character awakes in your star-ship, until the final credits begin, you will be immersed in a world with so much to do. The game offers player’s hours of mini-games, side quests and hours upon hours of conversations to listen to. Each character you travel with has plenty to say, and has their own abilities for you to discover. The game challenges you to employ your teammates abilities throughout your quest to either save or conquer the galaxy.
That is one beautiful thing about KOTOR, the game allows you to be either good or evil. Although, following the light side or falling to the dark side doesn’t highly effect the story itself, it is rather fun. Depending on what side of the force you find yourself on, you will find that your teammates will react differently to you, and sometimes open up different conversation choices which are both fun and amusing at times. However, the story is rather linear, and it is a downfall that it isn't effected by which side of the force you have chosen.
The battle system is unique and takes some time to get used to. You may find yourself having to start anew game a few hours into it, for either you built up your character in a way that didn’t fit your intent, or that you simply rushed the first section of the game (which is at times, tedious). The game calls you to take your time, and soak everything it has to offer. If you rush yourself through the game, and miss everything, than you will deprive yourself of a great gaming experience.
The has some minor bugs, but overall, it is a great game to play. It has replay value you can write home about, and the story is involving and makes up for the bugs that will occur often (slow time, glitches etc) All in all, this game is recommended for anyone who has an interest in RPG’s or Star Wars. Even if your not, you will find something special within this game.
