It doesn't get much cooler than this if you like Star Wars and RPG's. From an RPG standpoint it definitely delivered on the story line, especially with the revelation at the end. Your hooked from the very beginning as you set off to either become the most powerful Jedi or Sith Lord in the Universe. The fact that you could choose between either one is what intrigued me the most. I personally chose the Sith path which I felt to be far more interesting than the Jedi but to each his own. Anyway, the gameplay was fluid: combat was handled in the traditional RPG style with turn based combat. Leveling up was cool because you got to choose what abilities you wanted most. Once again, I think the Sith abilities have a much cooler wow factor when performed but that's just me. The direction in the story was a little more linear than I would have liked but did not take away from the game at all. Graphically I think it delivered though some improvements could have been made to make the action a bit smoother. Overall it was a solid Star Wars RPG that kept my interest the whole way through. I think it took me somewhere in the neighborhood of about 50 hours to beat which is pretty standard for the current RPG's. If you haven't played it do yourself a favor and go buy it for the measley $20 they're selling it for now. Its well worth it. I'll probably come back to it in a year or two.
