The Knights suprised me!!! |
| NightSinger from Vasa. Finland says (9/Jan/2004): |
This gam is totally remarkable. The fighting system kicked ass in being a turnbased combat that really uses xp to see how good someone is. I played Jedi Knight Academy and that game was 500times crappier than this game. They had crap story plus bad fighting stile. In this KOTOR however everything was perfect. Exellent story and gameplay. Noticable that BioWare created this game. It is right up there next to other games that are just like it, BG2 and so on... Very well made.
I played as darklord aswell. It is the most exiting by far. Many RPG are like that. The "dark side" makes it more exiting and thrilling to play... The light side i so... normal. That's not what players usually want. As most people already know.

This game is one of the best that star wars has put out but 2nd to halo. |
| squirrellGod from Forsyth Georgia USA says (22/Aug/2004): |
This game has awsome role playing and a awsome team up fighting skill. also had awsome graphics . but needed more facial choices. but it definetly gets a ten out of ten. it most definetlly i mean definetly got the game of the year title . but the second one we get the title again for the lucas arts team. god bless them guys for making a terrific game for all us videogamers worldwide. this game gots all the terrific bad mouth and good mouth talking to help you join the dak or light side of the force . good action and needs less talking and more of that action.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Mike from Vermont, USA says (15/Jun/2004): |
How can you not like this game?!? ok so maybe the fighting system could be more user oriented, but so what?!?!
The graphics are the best ive ever seen, the story is great, the plot twist in the middle is VERY unexpected, and its Starwars! I like the use of light sabers and love to customize mine, but i do not agree with their power. come on! Qui-Gonn can cut through a like 5 foot thick wall! why cant a lightsaber kill a kinrath or a kath hound in one hit? I have completed it once so far on the good side. i like the starforge but holy crap thats alot of Sith! over all i give it a 10! its a must have for starwars lovers.

In my top 3 games of all time |
| Super Gaijin from Charlottetown, PEI says (12/Dec/2003): |
It's not a perfect game, it has its flaws, but it's still an incredible game unless you've got an attention span of a gnat.
For those of you who are stupid and/or are bored by anything half-intellectual (like Mortal Kombat fans), then don't even bother touching this game. It's basically a Star Wars third-person RPG based pretty much on the D&D system, using feats and whatnot to improve your character specifically. What you do with your time has direct impact upon what happens in the plot and the whole control over your Dark side/light side aspect is quite nicely done. Help and innocent out and you gain light side points, do so much as even use your force powers for the wrong reason and you can garnish many dark side points.
Just like any other lame-ass out there, I decided "Hey, I wanna be on the dark side, it's cool!" at first. After a bit, though, I decided to stay on the light side because I realized the complete power of it. So just plan things out first, don't just jump in, lightsabers swinging at anything that moves.
Anyways, back to the actual game.
The ability to wield two lightsabers or use a double-ended lightsaber added a whole new dimension to the game. They didn't just throw those features in there and then didn't plan around it at all, they made pros and cons to each style of melee fighting.
The only real problem I found was that once you had enough jedis to make a party of 3, then you never had to switch characters ever again since they completely dwarf all other character classes (well, except for the occasional use of the droid).
Overall, the game was incredible. It started off just slowly enough to keep the player's interest but not just throwing you into being a full-fledged jedi with full powers. You feel your character becoming more and more powerful with each level you gain and your options become bigger and more plentiful.

Mint but still room for improvment |
| CoolGamer from England, Wakefield says (20/Feb/2004): |
I have played this game and completed it. It is great!!!!!!! It's challenging and it has a great storyline. The only thing I would like to see done in the Star Wars KOTOR 2 is a battle mode where you press a button to do a move and a button to block when the game enters battle mode. I especialy like how the story has surprises like, I thought you would have to save Bastila when she was kidnapped by Darth Malak or she would not turn to the dark side and escape but in the nd she turns to the dark side.Customising your own lightsaber is great also. I can't choose which is better, double blade or twin held lightsabers. I luv the cast you get, my personal favourite is Bastila. Oh yeh and before I forget, if you have just got the game, when you become a apprentise you have get rid of the dark side in the grounds. Don't kill Juhani, persist in getting her to turn back and you will be rewarded by getting her in your party. She aint as good as Bastila but she can pack a punch. If you have read this far you have liked my review so for you few who can be bothered to read reviews heres a cheat for you. It's called Jedi levels beyond 20. WHen you are on Taris keep your main character on level two, any further and the cheat cannot be done. Keep it like that until you get your lightsaber and then level up all the levels you should of done as a scout or soldier or whatever and use them as a jedi. You will twenty level ups as a jedi and a free whatever you got on Taris. Happy playing and if you are reading this and havent yet got the game but are looking at reviews to choose on Soul Calibur 2 or Star Wars well I know what I'd choose, Happy Gaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this game was totaly awsome!!!!!! |
| eli from auburntown tennessee america says (22/Jul/2003): |

A SUPERIOR GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Jess from Alaska, USA says (20/Jul/2004): |
I think this game is excellent!!! Weapons,Characters,Items and more!This game has it all!Except more action you only find action in these levels.LOWER CITY,UNDERCITY,DATOOINE, and other levels.The level with the most action is STAR FORGE.Its kind of sick because Zallabar rips off a gorremen`s arm and eats it but spits it out.I like to beat up the BLACK VULKARS or the RAKGHOULS.I am a swordsplayer I like to use the EHANTI RITUAL SWORD or the VIBROBLADE.And I go heavily armed.(HEAVY COMBAT SUIT,HEAVY BLASTER and 62 medpacks.I don`t like BENDAK STARKILLER he`s to hard to beat.And sometimes Carth and Mission fight just because they call Mission a little kid.Also sometimes it gets complicating.I don`t know if I want to be a dark jedi or a light jedi.But heres a tip- before you start your death match against BENDAK STARKILLER, you'll earn dark side points.
I hope I've given you enough information. May the force be with you!

The Best There Ever Will Be |
| LoB_Jedi3 from Medford, New Jersey says (12/Dec/2003): |
This game totally blew my mind. I played this game for many days straight stopping only for food and bathroom. I have beaten the game on light side, but the dark side is harder. Most advantages is, in the unknown planet, choosing the dark side means killing 2 Jedis, Mission, and Big Z. So, you are stuck with Bastila, Canderous, and 2 droids. The graphics were some of the best i have seen, but once in a while, it would freeze up on me. I love RPGs, but i usually dont play the ones on XBox. I am a huge XBox and Star Wars fan and have been since the earlier years of Vader and Skywalker. If this is your first time playing, then you will get caught in some kind of trap. I finally beat the game in 24 hours. It seems a while, but it goes by quickly. The fun factor is very high, but if you play this game for many days for many hours, like i did, you will lose interest in it for a couple of days. i find this period a good time for R&R. My advice: i was psyched bout being dark side, but as i've said, you lose a few critical characters. sometimes u need the good characters to win. Also, i am a boy, but the 2 times i have played the game, i have been a girl on the light side. granted, i may be a little conceited when i am a guy in the game, thinking im all bad. i guess, and this sounds weird, i think differently when i am a woman in the guy. thanks for reading, and may the force be with you!

AWESOME! |
| A gamer from USA says (24/Jul/2003): |
A very good game, very hard too!I am just stuck on the four planets and I can't find out how to beat them, had anyone beatin this game yet? If they have could they please give me some tips on how to? When I first got the game I was up for HOURS it was very fun.

This is a great game that anyone would enjoy playing. |
| God from Tennesse, USA says (21/Sep/2003): |
I realy enjoyed Nights of the Old Republic. It has great graphics and sound, and the controls are easy to learn and use. The only "flaw" that I cans think of in this game is the fighting. I believe that if more time were spent making the fighting more realistic this would be the perfect game. I never had any problems with the game freezing or anything like that so everyone that is complaining about this probably has a dirty disk. Over all this is a very well made game and I had a lot of fun playing it!

The Best Starwars History Lesson Ever Told |
| Andrew from Manchester, England says (22/Sep/2003): |
Beautiful Graphics, Beautiful score, wonderful acting (though a tad too long at times), no severing of limbs (downer). Learning the history of the starwars universe - where the fetts came from, and the sith homeworld etc. What caused the jedi revolt, the 'builders' who came before and brought the technology that they all use, and the origins of the republic and the empire.Loved it.

Good Game Overall |
| Kanus Amenophis from New York , USA says (9/Oct/2002): |
Yes I have played this game however the game is not finished. The guy bought a 99$ game that is not even finished. I don't personaly have 99$ to waste on an unfinished product. Though I can understand were this guy is coming from I can't wait for this game it is going to be one of the greatest RPGs ever. Though I dought the guy has seen anything of this game other than the screenies on Lucasarts.com

This game is fantastic, 10 stars!!! |
| Kakarot from Florida, USA says (18/Jul/2003): |
I recieved my preorder on July 17 2003 at 6:30pm. It is now 9am and I have yet to goto sleep. It has been a long time since a game has drawn me into an all nighter. On a downside, I had to shower and come to work =[ but will resume play as soon as I arrive home this evening. the graphics are stunning and the game play has a "Neverwinter Nights" gone Star Wars feel to it. If you are not and RPG fan then this game is not for you. But should you like RPG's, Star Wars, or both then this fantastic story will suck you in and keep you captivated for hours. The Musical Score is stunning as are the surround sound effects. Bioware has out done themselves this time with what in my opinion is the best console based RPG to date. Character creation is also reminiscent of "Neverwinter Nights" you have the option to use a pregenerated charachter or you can take a little extra time and choose you own abilities, feats, skills, etc. When walking through the cities you can stop and talk with anyone encountered. The only drawback I see in the game is that you can not attack just anyone, only the preselected encouters and a few random encounters. Despite this I recomend this game highly to any RPG fan.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! |
| Jesse from Arlington, Washington says (19/Jul/2003): |
When I purchased S.W. KOTOR (07-17-03) I had my doubts. but as soon as i started playing, and getting a feel for the controls I immediately fell in love with it! the game is incredible and very addicting. from the time you pick up your controller to the time your FORCED to put it down it is a epic adventure, one that can be enjoyed by a star wars fan or someone who isn't familiar at all...final words...BUY IT!!!
|
This game is a MASTER PIECE!!!! |

not that great |
| A gamer says (23/Jul/2003): |
you hit a once and he does moves by himself. the commercial made it look good but it is something. good games are when you control the moves.also theres too much walking. not alot of good action.the graphics are good but that is probally why it is bad. they spent too much time on the graphics and not on the fun. that is why i give it a 6. it is kinda fun but i dont like how you dont control the moves.
|
!!!!!!!GREAT GAME!!!!!!! |
| The Wee One from MIDGETVILLE says (25/Jul/2003): |
This game is an amazing game! I am a total Star Wars Fanatic so I love it. Only problem I've been having is sealing my friend my X-Box so I've been playing there until my next paycheck. I know a lot of ppl have problems cause it is a 100% RPG and I know it would be oh so much better if you could control every action but I am finding this game amazing and have 2 games I am playing at the same time. 1 where I am a light Jedi and 1 where I am a dark jedi I am loving the game. I consider this a must buy for all Star Wars and RPG fans out there. !!!!!!!GREAT GAME!!!!!!!

Letters cannot describe it! |
| Sparqy56 from Chicago, USA says (25/Jul/2003): |
This is the perfect game for anyone who likes RPG's and an xbox. No star wars knowledge is required (beyond what you see in the movies). It plays like the Summoner on PS2(but not as boring) but it looks like Never Winter. This is by far the best star wars game ive seen and can hold its ground against other major RPG titles.
|
A final Fantasy this is not, this is so much better! |
| Gabriel Cortez from Cincinnati, Ohio says (27/Jul/2003): |
This game will controll your life it will take your soul! First of let it be known yes this game does have it's faults. This game starts of kinda slow with pretty much nothing really great at first. Give it an hour of play first and then you will be hooked! And once you save the jedi bastilla you will not want to stop playing. You then proceed to become a jedi and start hunting for the star maps. Becoming a jedi is great!Building your lightsaber is great! I only wish you could choose your own design for your blade giving it a more personal feel to it. Be prepaired there is a lot of walking and they should have made it were you can buy a speeder to drive around in but oh well. Once you become a Jedi just make sure to choose force run,Then you can just speed around every where. The game allso tends to freeze here and there just save a lot and you will be fine not to mention if it does freeze just hit the disk eject button and most times it will start of were you were no lost stuff or anything(THE FREEZES USALLY HAPPEN DURING THE GAMES MOVIES NOT DURING GAMEPLAY)
And for those of you who do not like role playing games or starwars, four of my friend said they did not really want to try it but I brought it up for they can play hellped them out a bit and within an hour every one of them was like OH MY GOD THIS GAME ROCKS! And these are non role playing people.
So have fun playing and tell you girlfriend your leaving town becose you will be forever trapped within this game.
One last thing beware OF THE DARK SIDE STRONG IT IS!
