    I was a big fan of Bioware rpgs, but this one slipped under the radar and I missed it. Just bought it very recently.

    At first I was slightly underwhelmed. Graphics, while not bad, are clearly from a previous generation of machines. I found combat somewhat uninteresting. But I said I would keep on going, because I could see that there was something there. And I am so glad I did.    I was a big fan of Bioware rpgs, but this one slipped under the radar and I missed it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best cRPG's I have ever played and is in my opinion on par with BG. The story is intelligent, interesting and surprising. The game play is great and the environment is captivating and well in tone with the game. I have played it through twice, and each time I have chosen the path of evil. From what I've been told from friends, the game was to easy if one chose the route of good, because of the spell "speed", but even these people were mesmerized by the game. I can do nothing but recommend this game to every fan of the RPG genre, because it has one of the most awesome story lines and game play of any RPG out there.… Expand

    A classic Star Wars tale and one of the great RPGs of days gone past. The graphics won't hold up to standards today, but this game is worth playing through at least once just for the experience. It's best if you're unspoiled on the story, but even if you aren't, it's worth playing through and watching it all unfold. This is a game that perfectly captured the magic of the Star Wars setting!

    A true masterpiece of role-play genre. Incredible depth in dialogue options gives you numerous ways to resolve any conflict and it is all followed by top-notch voice over. Combine this with a variety of diverse locations and memorable characters and you get a really well thought out game. With a constant choice of dark and light side paths in story progression this game has enormous replay value.

    Before KOTOR, Star Wars games were notorious to be very bad. KOTOR broke that trend. KOTOR was an instant hit, and is one of the best RPG's ever made.

    KOTOR was crafted at the tail end of what we gamers would like to call, the "Golden Age" of videogames. Lasting roughly from 1996-2004, this was a very exciting time for video games. Huge leaps in innovation were seen, developers and publishers took risks, and we saw top quality games being churned out every year. This was the age of SquareSoft's final fantasies and Blizzard's Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft series.

    And then there was KOTOR and Bioware.

    KOTOR has it all deep gameplay, excellent story and graphics all with a classic Star Wars soundtrack, with new and familiar tunes. KOTOR is Bioware's masterpiece, only comparable to Mass Effect 2. Bioware had managed to blend the fundamentals of traditional DnD gameplay with the more modern aspects of computer action rpg. The result is a fantastic game which pays homage to its roots while expanding gameplay to seamless, action fun with deep gameplay mechanics.

    Action isnt broken up through battle-rest-battle, but rather streamlined, and Force abilities (Spells) do not have to be recharged through resting. Instead of the traditional DnD alignment system, we are given a streamlined, good-neutral-evil alignment through actions, and you will see that chage through the blue to red smoke behind your character. We also have a simplified class system. Though at first glance it may seem too simple, it is much deeper than what it lets on, and is more forgiving to players that dont choose the right feats.

    But KOTOR really shines is the story. KOTOR's story is one of the best of what videogames have to offer. The writing team for KOTOR truly had their moment here. The story is so engaging, so brilliant it will have you glued to the game. In fact, I am not surprised if there are fans that are trying to make their own fan movie of KOTOR. The story is just that damn good. KOTOR really started the trend of Player Choice, as your actions have their consequences, and not just with alignment changes. Remember to play a male PC, as you'll get the full force of the story, with a meaningful romance that affects the story to the very end.

    If you havent played KOTOR, you are seriously missing out on one of the best RPG's ever made. A classic.    … Expand

Conversations are intelligent, and for the time this game came out and even now, the conversation system is well done. And the Story is top notch.

    I want to start off by saying this is one of my favorite RPG's of all time, honestly I lost count of how many times I have played this game after 4 or 5 times and yes that is how much I like it. Where to begin, lets start with the combat system. Nothing that really complex you equip you and your characters with armor and weapons along with shields and upgrades to make them more effectiveI want to start off by saying this is one of my favorite RPG's of all time, honestly I lost count of how many times I have played this game after 4 or 5 times and yes that is how much I like it. Where to begin, lets start with the combat system. Nothing that really complex you equip you and your characters with armor and weapons along with shields and upgrades to make them more effective in combat along with consumables like medpacs to heal yourself. The Combat is turn based but in real time although you can pause the game and plan each of you and your companions moves and then attack. Now lets get to the story. This really is the best Star Wars Story ever written, all the characters are extremely well done especially Bastilla Shan and the Mysterious Darth Revan. Some of the original music made into this game but I appreciate most about the Soundtrack is that the game contained an original Star Wars soundtrack mostly and it fit right in with the universe. This being Bioware I found it at no surprise that the voice acting was superb in every way from Jennifer Hale's Bastilla to Carolyn Seymour's Admiral Dodonna and even though that is a relatively small part it was done so well. I liked Everything about this game and OH MY GOD the plot twist in the middle of them game took me completely by surprise and still gets me every time I play the game. This game has so much story to it that if I tried to explain it all it would ruin it because I would spoil everything and the game is so centered around this amazing story that it really would ruin the game if I told you everything. But here are the basics You wake up on a Republic cruiser under attack then you crash on the Planet Taris with Carth Onasi who is a republic pilot and you have to Find Bastilla who is a Jedi master with a unique ability called battle meditation which can sway the tide of any battle. Once you find her on the planet she sees your force sensitive and takes you to become a Jedi on Dantooine there you discover a threat to the galaxy and you are sent to 4 main and beautifully created planets to find the pieces of the puzzle. I did not find a whole lot to complain about in this game, if I had to choose something it would be one time in my whole 5 playthroughs and beyond my game completely froze but that was one time and it has not happened since. One last thing I want to say about this game is if you are interested in modding Kotor 1 or Kotor 2 download the kotor save game editor mod it is really cool. If you ever were on the fence about buying this game get it now, Its only 10 dollars on steam right now just like Kotor 2, buy it if you are RPG fans, buy it if you are Star Wars fans especially and even if you like video games in general you owe it to yourself to experience this amazing game.… Expand

    The game is all about story and choices. You get to play the main character. But who and what that main character is or is not is up to you. You even get to choose what he looks like and if he is a he or a she.

    The game has so much choice that replayablitiy is a serious asset of the game. You start off as one of 4 none Jedi characters. Then later become one of 4 Jedi classes. Mixing and matching these class combinations gives you essentially 16 different characters to play. But the way they level up these skills is entirely up to you. And there are many skills to choose from.

    I wouldn't call it a hardcore combat game, but this game gives you plenty of action. Then to add to the replayablity you can replay the same character and see the changes when you maybe jump from the light to the dark side. This coupled with the many class combos gives even more replayablity. And the differences can be significant enough where the story feels totally different. They even let you choose the areas you visit in any order you want. Then you not only have your story but each of your companions has their own story.

    On top of this wonderful cake, they give you a cherry on top with plenty of mini games to keep you from getting bored. Like speeder racing, a card game you can gamble your hard won earnings on. An upgrade system for all your equipment etc.

    And the incredible part is the story is different when you replay. But it is so familiar you feel like you are in charge. You may know the ending, but the choices you make can really put a twist on your story.    … Expand

It was also one of the most acclaimed RPGs from Bioware, a rare case of a license game that is excellent and uses a system that should feel familiar to D&D fans. It impressed me with its characters, worldbuilding, story, gameplay and has one of the best and most memorable twist in gaming history. Even more respects deserves the decision to set it in an unfamiliar time frame in the Star Wars universe. It is set approx 4000 years before the events of the original trilogy. A few years before the Mandalorians attacked the Old Republic and outmatched them easily in battle and conquering star system after star system. The Jedi order did not interfere out of fear, hesitation and political reasons. Some Jedi lead by Revan and Malak refused to ignore the suffering and slaughtering of innocent beings and rebelled by joining the republic military. Both lead the Republic forces in harsh and dire battles to victory becoming some of the greatest saviors and heroes of their time. Sadly this had a bad effect on them as they vanished shortly after the end of the war. They returned as Sith (turned to the dark side) trying now to conquer the Republic themselves. Strangely they have access to resources that match the output of the (far) bigger Republic. Malak rebelled against Revan who was killed and the story of your character starts when the ship he is on is attacked by Sith forces. This is the beginning of an epic quest for answers that will shape the future of the Galaxy. The story is excellent and well interwoven with the lore, worldbuilding and characters. Depending on your choices there will be some different outcomes. Gameplay: You create your character similar to D&D rules (Dungeon and Dragons). I recommend to read a guide or two and GameFAQs is pretty good here. This means putting points into stats like strength, dexterity, constitution, wisdom, intelligence and charisma. With this you set up your play-style or better said character efficiency. For example more constitution means more health, dexterity works for evasion etc. Then there are skills like for example computer use (hacking), stealth or persuasion. These are connected to the appropriated stats. At least there are feats which boosts abilities. You must chose a character class at the beginning of the game and maybe you will unlock something else later (What could that be in a Star Wars game? ;-). As you level up you improve your character by RPG standards. Also there are many items and weapon to use with synergies. The system works well and has a lot of depth. I truly enjoyed it and there are many ways to play the game. I repeat that I advice to read a guide to avoid mayor screw ups. Another highlight is the world building. A lot of effort was put into the locations, characters and morality. Each location is well though out and feels alive. They used the license nearly perfectly and I enjoyed exploring the worlds. It ends not there as the characters work well too. Each one has her / his own skills, world views and backstories. Especially HK-47 is awesome but Bastilla and Juhani are really good for me too (Juhani is disliked by many but I disagree here). The different world views might also set up conflicts. Of cause there is a morality system. May the light or dark side be with you or might it be a more gray area. There are a few morally interesting conflicts if you dig a bit deeper. Graphically this was an amazing game back then and it holds up well for its time but this means also it cant keep up anymore to today's standards (Cant hold this against the game). Soundtrack is excellent and I must praise the effort for synchronization. Overall this is a classic of its time and genre. It is a must play for Star Wars fans and deserves its praise.… Expand

The dialogue is very interesting and enjoyable and once your characters get skilled enough to stop missing targets at point blank range over and over and over (You can literally miss doors with melee weapons at the beginning off the game) the animations in light saber fights are fun to watch. Visit old Star Wars worlds and new ones in which ever order you want and with whatever companions you want who have their own unique commentaries and personalities adding to the tremendous replay value. The inventory system is among the worst I've ever seen but given the age of the game it is passable. There are many places to sell loot and buy weapons and armour and the game genuinely tempts you to choose the dark side to get more credits to buy some of the tremendously expensive items some vendors have.

With the original Xbox release back in 2003 I was only 11 when I first enjoyed this game and playing through it now 12 years later I still love diving in to play with different party members or a different class. As I was younger I thought this game was a perfect 10/10 in every aspect but just playing through it again Ive noticed some flaws.
    Not to knock it down from its very high mantel but things that were bugging while playing. Numerous times while playing my character would get stuck on nothing, sometimes just opening a box and it would glitch/stutter and then couldn't be moved. Only way to move him was to switch to a party member to move the group away or reload the game. Also ran into the issue of the character not following through with a command during battle. The command would sit idle in the action bar but never follow through. Could have a enemy smack you four-five times with you standing still like a punching bag. Same games with the AI party members.
    That is just me searching out for the flaws on a otherwise remarkable game.

Who would've imagined a star wars game to have a storyline instead of non-stop stormtrooper shooting like all the others? The story is dark, deep and has more twists than a virgin's knickers. You will become so damn engrossed with the story that you will forget real life, and for that i don't blame you. With this game, it comes as a right.

    Secondly, the gameplay is the best i've ever encountered. I could spend the whole day walking around and talking with npcs. The npcs are so detailed and every one has a background story, or a task that they would like you to perform. The fight sequences are brilliant, mixing turn-based action and strategy together to form a perfect mold. You have to prepare yourself before each fight and choose your moves carefully, which is reminiscent of final fantasy. Also, the fact that one decision could change your path from light to dark side is a power to behold. Every decision matters.

    And lastly, the graphics are consistently gorgeous. For such a huge game you may think that the graphics department would be lacking, but Bioware are perfectionists, and thank god they are! For never in this game you will want to look away from the screen, the beauty of it will grab hold of you and refuse to let go.

    This game is a masterpiece. It is the most significant game since Doom and the best game ever made! Explore 10/10    … Expand

    He jugado pocos RPGs, pero este sin duda me ha tocado el corazón aunque sueñe muy moñas. Pocas veces he disfrutado de una historia tan inmersiva y de unos personajes tan entrañables como los de este Star Wars: KOTOR. Empiezo a notar el enorme talento de Bioware a la hora de contar historias y desarrollar personajes. Voy avisando...es un juego MUY CONVERSACIONAL, hay muchos combates sí, pero si quieres sacar la máxima tajada a los personajes vas a tener que hablar por voluntad propia con todos ellos para saber más sobre sus vidas y el por qué de sus existencias y destinos que les ha tocado seguir. Por tanto si sois de los que os aburre mucho los bla bla bla huíd de este juego pero YA.

    Algo que me ha sorprendido enormemente es la calidad de buena parte de las misiones secundarias y las subtramas que nos dispone el juego, la mayoría de ellas sirven para desarrollar las distintas culturas, sociedades y postura frente al conflicto bélico que se nos presenta de los distintos planetas dando una profundidad narrativa ACOJONANTE. El sistema de combate personalmente me ha parecido entretenido, basándose en elegir una secuencia de acciones (tipo de ataque con espada o arma a distancia; poderes de la fuerza; granadas de diversos tipos; botiquines, etc...) que podrás modificar según la situación del combate y AH una cosa interesante...PUEDES MANEJAR A TODOS LOS PERSONAJES, parece tontería pero eso siempre es un detalle que me gusta mucho para así mejorar el dinamismo y no dar tanta sensación de aleatoriedad en los combates. Y por supuesto también tendremos los típicos minijuegos que siempre son agradables y ayudan a desconectar un poco de la tensión de los acontecimientos como el Pazaak (juego de cartas) o las carreras se Swoops.

    No es el RPG más largo que he jugado, tampoco es que se especialmente corto (52-53 horas), pero sí que es verdad que he echado de menos un poco más de duración sobre todo porque había una misión secundaria que al final, entre una cosa y otra, no la he podido hacer XD. Pero bueno la duración tampoco es que esté del todo mal teniendo en cuenta que la historia principal del Mass Effect (auténtico juegazo también) me ha durado sorprendentemente 34 horas XXD.

    No hablaré mucho de la historia, simplemente vuelvo a insistir en la enorme carisma de todos los personajes que se nos presenta. Una sensación de aventura y épica que pocas he sentido, en pocas palabras...STAR WARS PURO Y DURO.

    Este juego no solamente es que sea el mejor de Star Wars (que ya es bastante porque todos los juegos de Star Wars que he jugado son canela en rama) sino que además estamos hablando posiblemente de unos de los mejores RPGs de todos los tiempos.

    First of all it's not some game about the characters that we already know from the movies but an entirely different story in a different timeline.A bold decision if you ask me.Only that desire to make something original deserve recognition.I played many of the Star Wars games and this one(just like Star Wars Jedi Knight:Jedi Academy)never cease to be so intresting that I can play it 9999-time.

    Gameplay.
    Intresting thing.Some say that it's boring but the combat system is a very intresting.Reminds me of a chess.You can pause the game and choose which enemy to attack or/and take control of your companion and make the same thing with him.

    Companions.
    Nice lot.I liked them all(yes even the whiny Carth).They all have intresting background especially Jolee Bindo and Canderous Ordo.The last one has a lot of intresting stories to tell.I don't want to spoil it to you.You should try talk with them yourself and feel them.And the game will sometimes push you towards conversation,which is a good thing.

    RPG system.
    I love it.You can be a-hole or nice guy.And you will actually feel like one.The Jedi Path for instance demands that you be generous and kind,but the dark choices are always somewhat tempting...There will be situations when you will determine the future of an entire people or villages.Your alignment will affect the cost of your Force-abilities.

    The Storyline.
    It's actually somewhat naive and will probably remind you of the Original Trilogy,but it still has it's moments and surprises.

    Conclusion.
    I think anyone who enjoys Star Wars should play this game to understand the meaning of a quality that the modern SW games somehow lack.It's not nostalgia by the way,because I tried it only three years back.It's just a great game that shouldn't be forgotten.10/10 Without hesitation.    … Expand

    This is a great RPG with an excellent story that I wish was canon. Definitely one of the best star wars games I've played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

    İnsanlar bunun en iyi star wars oyunu hatta filmleri de dahil ederek deneyimi olduğunu söylediklerinde inanmamazlık etmemiştim. Zira star wars filmlerini her zaman gayri ciddi bulmuştum. Ancak bu kadarını da beklemiyordum. Ortada çok karanlık, ciddi ve ayakları yere basan bir hikaye var.

    Oyunu daha önce oynamadıysanız ya da hikayesini bilmiyorsanız sakın bir yerlerden okumayın direkt oyuna ya da sneye çıkacak remake'ine gömülün. Sakın spoiler yemeyin.

    Oyun filmlerden 4000 yıl öncesinde geçiyor. Bu sayede kendisine hikaye açısından büyük bir özgürlük alanı kazandırıyor. Skywalker muhabbetinden kurtulduğu için çok mutlu oldum. Ulan filmler lafta koskoca galaksiyi anlatıyor ama 9 eserdir hala 3-5 kişinin etrafında dönüp duruyor.

    Ben elimde böyle bir fırsat varken sith olarak oynamayı seçtim, yüreğim başta el vermese de herkese kötü davrandım, sürekli kötülük yaptım. SPOILER Sonlarda Bastila ile beraber yanımızda oyun boyunca bize eşlik eden jedi'ları öldürürken yüreğim sızlamadı. Ancak Mision'ı (14 yaşındaki çocuğu) küçüklüğünden beri onu koruyup kollayan Zaalbar'a öldürtme seçeneğini gördüğümde gözlerime inanamadım. Hakikaten bu biraz fazlaydı. Ama yaptım. Mision'ın yakarışları hala kulağımda.SPOILER

    Oyunun ana hikayesin sonlara doğru güzelleşse de yan hikayeler ve görevler başından beri çok iyi. Özellikle Manaan'daki mahkeme bölümleri, avukatlık yaptığımız yerler epey başarılıydı. Çok az oyunda yan görevlerin üzerine bu kadar düşüldüğünü gördüm ki onların da çoğunu yine Bioware yapmıştı zaten. Bu kadar iyi hikaye anlatan bir firmaya online oyun yaptırmaya çalışan EA'nin tekrar kafasını sikim.

    Yan görevler ve ana görevler birbirlerine çok güzel bağlanıyor. Oyunun içinde bulunduğu evreni çok güzel yansıtıyorlar.

    Öte yandan oyunun combat'ı tam bir felaket. Turn based'i divinity serisinden falan çok severim ama real time turn based'den nefret ediyorum. Bana mantıksız geliyor. Oyunun başında ekibimin blaster'la dakikalarca çıv çıv çıv dibindeki adamı vuramaması, boşa sallanan ışın kılıçları falan acayip keyfimi kaçırdı. Nasıl olsa seneye remake'i geleek diye neredeyse oyunu bırakacaktım. Ancak sonunda açtım ölümsüzlük hilesini vura vura geçtim. Ben oyunu combat'ı için değil rpg öğeleri için oynuyordum zaten. Bu dakikadan sonra oyun daha çok oynanabilir oldu benim için.

    Kotor 19 yaşında bir oyun. Bu bakımdan oynadığım en yaşlı oyun oldu. Combat'ı dandik ama rpg öğelerini bugün bile çok zor bulursunuz. Gerçekten çok iyi bir deneyimdi. Umarım remake'de hikayeye dair her şeyi sabit tutup sadece görselliği ve dövüş mekaniğini değiştirirler.    … Expand

I see some people complaining about the graphics and animations but when you start up a game from 2003 you gotta know what you're getting into(and the graphics are still better than cyberpunk). The companions and NPC's are so interesting. but the best part is that the game is only as long as you want it to be. like if you want to find everything and learn everything you can do that. If you just want to do everything that is necesary thats fine you do that. Overall this is one of the GOATS in terms of gaming.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una aventura geminiana
    Star Wars, la única forma de hacerlo un bien juego es que sea RPG. Cada mundo de este juego es propio de si mismo, por ejemplo. Para mi, mis mundos favoritos son Taris, Manaan y Lehon. Los demás estan muy bien. Taris es precioso, lo futurista que es, artísticamente es muy bonito. Manaan, una gran ''isla'' podría decir, la banda sonora en cada nivel es diferente pero, para mi esta es la mejor. Lehon es precioso también. Hablando de la banda sonora se deleita uno escucharla. Jugablemente es como Dragon Age Origins esta entre un rpg por turnos y un Action-Rpg es rara la combinación, bastante bien ejecutada. Para mi tiene unas carencias, pero bueno eso queda en cada uno.

    La Historia: Lo que los ''roleros'' se fijan en este tipo de juegos. Bueno abra SPOILERS asi que, empiezo.
    Como es Star Wars y lo bueno, es que puedes ser tanto un Sith, como un Jedi. Para ser un Sith simplemente has todo lo cruel y para ser Jedi todo lo contrario. Por la aventura te vas encontrando distintos personajes, que si te llevas mal con ellos o no les caes bien, simplemente se van de tu equipo. Lo que te cuenten de Darth Revan, de lo que esta pasando en la galaxia. Como es en esa época los Jedi y los Sith, tenían digamos un arreglo político se podría decir. Como estas conectado con Bastila no pareció mal, lo ir por primera vez a cada planeta y tener una visión me gusto. Los diálogos muchos de ellos, por ejemplo los que tienes con Bastila me parecen bastante CRINGE y rectifico CRINGE. Una simple, demasiado simple historia de amor. Los mundos que te adentras cada uno pasa algo distinto. Las carreras de vainas, son divertidas, me hubiera gustado que den mas hincapié en eso. Como dije si algún personaje no les caes bien o le dices algo malo se van. Eso personalmente no me gusta nada. Me hubiera gustado, que hubieran tenido un poco mas personalidad. Si se que estoy hablando de un juego de 2003, pero bueno Chrono Trigger salio en el 95' y Xenogears salio en 98', para mi no hay excusa. Por ejemplo, ser Sith es mas profundo que ser cruel, es como un nazi creerte lo que haces y dices sin ningún remordimiento de ello. Darth Revan, aviso otra vez SPOILER, eres tu. Fue un buen giro, bueno no me la veía venir, pero no me dejo aaaaaaaah, con la boca abierta, la verdad los giros de trama me parecen estúpidos. Y al final que Bastila cayese al lado oscuro no me gusto. el final fue muy Trillado. O sos el rey de la galaxia o te dan una medalla como en el episodio IV. Me hubiera gustado que le dirán mas profundidad a los Jedi , a los Sith. De por que son lo que son. Al final son ''Los Caballeros de la Antigua Republica'' no. Mas profundidad en el combate pero bueno era 2003 y eso se entiende.

    Mi nota a este buen juego. No olvidemos quien lo hizo, Bioware. Si no hubiera existido este, no existiría Mass Effect, asi que gracias. Mi nota 9.1/10.    … Expand

    Wow... just wow. This game is amazing! The only thing restricting me from giving this game a perfect ten is just because of how outdated it is (and no, I'm not bashing the 2003 graphics). The save-system is slightly wonky, there are a multitude of glitches, and at certain times the combat can be unfairly difficult. But hidden behind all that is an amazing RPG.
