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.

Star Wars KOTOR |
| darwin from langdon usa says (20/Dec/2003): |
this game is definetly the best game around but there are alot of improvement that could of took place but it is still the best game around. it is awesome that it takes place 4,000 yrs before the original stars took place it would be awesome if it were two players both of u running around with a lightsaber both lets just hope knights of the old republic 2 will come out if they ever make it. the downside of the game is it freezes alot the fighting could be bettter and of course alot longer lets hope that jedi knight 3 is cool. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic rocks! ! !

I am not real sure about this game |
| A gamer from USA says (20/Dec/2003): |
This game is good I guess but it is a take turn press one button game, I don't know about you guys but this game was alot worse then I expecteed. I have to admit I am a star wars fan but Not of this game if it were a "Not take turns trying to kill each other game I would like it though. It has an awsome story awsome grafics, its music is repeated over and over and over again, the gameplay sucks. I give it a 5. If you like games where you go all out and destroy things without taking turns do not get thid game.

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.

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!

This is one of my favorite Xbox games. |
| Michael from Maryville, TN, USA says (26/Oct/2003): |
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best games I have ever played for the Xbox. To start off, the game has amzing graphics and play control. One of my favorite things about this game is the fact you get to use a lightsaber, this is where most other Star Wars games failed to amaze me. The game features a ton of side quests, and has a vast playing feild, ranging from Tatooine to Mannan. Another thing that is great about the game is the fact that you can kill your own party members, and they each have their own interesting stories. They're is only one bad thing about this game, it is much too short. After the first planet everything starts to move too fast. After I left Taris, I completed three planets in one day. I wish the game would come out for more systems, like Gamecube. I would definitely recommend this game to any star wars fan, no matter what the age, although it will be a bit confusing to younger people. Despite these small drawbacks, the game still amazes me and I hope there will be more games like it in the future.

This Game is Awesome "but" it could have even been better!! |
| Auron from West Frankfort, Illinois says (22/Oct/2003): |
KOTOR is the BEST Star Wars game out there, but for all the work they put into it for some reason they fell short at the end!! I couldn't believe that they had done 90% of the game perfectly and then (on their part) just seemed to finish it to get it out on the market.Examples: They should have given you a rating on how well you did, allowed you to carry credits,items over to your next game or at least given you bonus items for how much you accomplished!Don't get me wrong the game does have an excellent replay value and if you have XBOX Live you can download new things to the game!! I just wish that they would have made better and longer endings, allowed you to acquire certain items sooner than later and allowed you (in some way) to have been rewarded for all the time and effort you put into the game!! My over all rating is a 9!!!! Hope they do even better next time around. Aradyn Sith.

BEST GAME EVER |
| A gamer from Toronto Canada says (11/Oct/2003): |
When i saw the ad for this game I didnt even have an XBOX but I wanted this game so bad I went out and bought an XBOX and this games and It was worth it. This is the best video game ive ever played on any console. The Graphics a awesome although a little jagged but its hard to really notice. Sound is great all of the voices of NPC are really well done. The storyline is the best part about this game especially the twist about 3/4 the way through the storyline is alot better than any of the recent movies. The one thing bad about this games was that it was two short it needs to be longer and have some stuff to do after the fight with Malak instead of just ending
|
the game is tha shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only score it should get is 10 |
| jeff from russia england chicken beans says (9/Oct/2003): |
this game is off tha hook no other game i played can top this one. im not usually a star wars fan but when i seen star wars atack of the clones i said to my mom we just got an x box now we need a star wars game. we rented it for two weeks on rental and i beat it on light and now its darks turn. hint : (get death wave for the force so when you and darth malak have the final show down you can zap the life out of the dead jedi)

| MeanMachine from London Great Britain says (6/Oct/2003): |
i dont usually play rpg's, but star wars:kotor was an exception, it has got to be the most amazing game i have ever played and i fink nuthin except star wars:kotor 2 could beat it. i woz up all nite playin the part on the levithan cause i was so desperate 2 find out wat happened nxt and there wer so many twists and turns. ive completed it twice now as both good and evil and im still not bored wit it, the only minor downside is that i wanted to carry on bein darth revan and take over the universe, but hey we cant have everfin, i recommend this to anyone. heck u should buy an xbox for this

| Luke from Dublin Ireland says (6/Oct/2003): |

A must buy for every Star Wars Fanatic! |
| Richard from Leeds, United Kingdom says (2/Oct/2003): |
All i can say about this game is that it is the best Star Wars game created! I've been playing computer games for the last 20 Years right from the first arcade Star Wars game! This beats them all by far. Once you get used to the fighting, your away wipeing out the dark side of the force with your band of merry men! (or women). The graphics are great and the sound just make you feel like your part of the game. All in all a must buy for all XBox owners!
|
excellent game, but where's the excitement? |
| DaHype from Amsterdam, Holland says (1/Oct/2003): |
The game rules, no doubt about it...HOWEVER:
Yes I know it's an RPG, yes I know most RPG's use a turnbased fighting system... Don't get me wrong, a turnbased fighting system is okay.....in a game such as Final Fantasy where you have your magic spells, summon demons etc.. However it's NOT okay in a game that's set in the star wars universe. where you are a bad ass jediknight wielding lightsabers.
Lightsabers as we all know and love them are very intense flashy weapons. It would have been an amazing rush if you were in realtime control of the fighting but this system (eventhough it's well implemented) doesn't provide that rush of adrenaline when you're in combat. NO frantic wielding of your saber, NO lastsecond blocks followed by a well aimed swing to take your opponent down, leaving you with that heartpounding feeling of "wow that was intense!!" There's just no real excitement in them!!
Instead, fights feel like you're in the backseat of a Ferrari...giving orders to the driver to turn right...turn left..brake...hit the gas etc etc.., I don't wanna be in the backseat of a Ferrari! I wanna DRIVE the bloody thing myself, I wanna be in DIRECT control!!
Does this mean that the game sucks? Well..no, make no mistake, the game is good, very good, good story, lots of freedom in how you want to play the game. That right there is what makes it good, the fact that you really have a sense of freedom to go and act how you like. But as for the fighting....should have, would have, could have..

this game rocks |
| alex from leicester says (27/Sep/2003): |
im a massive star wars fan so i had to buy this game as soon as it came out. i wasnt dissapointed. the only thing is fighting that can be a real pain.does anyone no how to change it somehow? now i ive got to make this review more than 50 words.
|
Teh best Xbox game ive played yet!!!! |
| Brandon from Brodhead,Wisconsin,USA says (23/Sep/2003): |
the worst part i thought was the fighting. the best was pretty much everything else. if you havent bought it and are thinkin about it buy it. i mean this game has so many twists and turns in the plot you never get bored. this game is definately better then halo and those other so called great xbox games.

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.
|
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!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic |
| Scott from Aurora says (20/Sep/2003): |
This is the best game there is on x-box. For any star wars fan you no there is no better game. The only problem was there was a bit to much talking to other people but it made it a little more realistic that way. Also they could have switched out the synomatic scene for when the sith fighters attack.
|
Awsome |
| Richard Dobbing from Thornaby, England says (15/Sep/2003): |
The only thing that could improve this game is if it were two players it's easily the game of the year big ups to bio ware. This game is a must for RPG fans. You don't even have to be a fan of the Star Wars series...oh and did I mention you get to swing a lightsaber! Peace out.
