    This is a very good game, however its age truly shows today, the gameplay is clunky and boring and repetitive, and while their is a lot of depth, this game is outclassed in every single way except for the story by its sequel, and the twist is obvious, very obvious, also wtf am I stuck on? the air?

    The best piece of Star Wars you can experience. Any true Star Wars fan or fan of video games in general needs to get over the aged gameplay elements and graphics in order see one of the most genius video game stories in history.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Groundbreaking title, clearly showing what could be done in Star Wars franchise as long as wokies were not allowed to sabotage the work.

    Your class will change to a Jedi soon after Taris prologue, so try to avoid taking feats for melee weapons, there's literally one weapon in base unmodded game that compares to lightsabers.    … Expand

    A masterpiece of a game, especially for the time of it's release. The most interesting era of Star Wars that is not on the big screen. Only reason i'm not putting 10 is because of some bugs that still exist.

    This game is great, the story is good, the companions and the other characters are memorable(Bastilla being the greatest in my opinion :) ), the soundtrack is a total banger(I mean it lives up to the John Williams quality) not to mention the storytelling. I can't say bad things about this game because it's pretty great the only thing I didn't like about this game is the combat system notThis game is great, the story is good, the companions and the other characters are memorable(Bastilla being the greatest in my opinion :) ), the soundtrack is a total banger(I mean it lives up to the John Williams quality) not to mention the storytelling. I can't say bad things about this game because it's pretty great the only thing I didn't like about this game is the combat system not the greatest but for the time it was pretty neat(Hopefully the remake is going to make the combat similar to God of War or Jedi fallen Order)
    Definitely play this    … Expand

    This game is awesome. Have played through to the end way to many times and keep discovering (or rediscovering) things I missed.

    The graphics are very dated and gameplay doesn't stand up to todays standard, but if you want to experience a deep and surprisingly good Star Wars story, you should accept the old looks and UI and try it.

    Pros
    - one of the best Star Wars stories ever told, better than most movies and like 95% of all of the books
    - actual ROLEPLAYING in an RPG - fun build variety supporting everything from single bladed lightsaber, through two lightsabers, dual bladed lightsabers and even the dreaded Gun Jedi if you are feeling weird - fantastic party members that support you throughout the whole story    Pros

    - fantastic party members that support you throughout the whole story
    - a morality system that actually affects gameplay
    - one of the best twists in all of gaming

    Cons
    - the game came out in 2003 so yeah, it feels extremely clunky by today's standards
    - the turret minigame after leaving starports gets annoying after the first time you play it

    Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Hell it is one of the best RPGs ever made. In the day and age when the term Roleplaying Game is slapped on anything that has zero roleplaying, but it has a skill tree, KotOR stands out as one of the best games ever made.

    The Light and Dark side conflict affords you different benefits for the various force powers. Unlocking different skills affords you with access to different solutions for the game's many sidequests. On top of that, you can have your party pick up your slack. For example, my Jedi Knight was hopeless with locks and demolitions so I brought Mission everywhere as she was my key to a lot of areas that would be otherwise locked off for me.

    Besides Mission, every other party member is a standout on their own, with interesting stories to tell. I actually love how much support each of the Light and Dark characters gets as you have party members like HK-47 and Canderous Ordo who are purely with you for the Dark side players.

    When it comes to the story, it remains interesting throughout the whole 40 hour run time. It also has one of the greatest and most spoiled twists in all of gaming, still effective after 20 years this game has been out.

    If you are a fan of RPGs please give this older title a chance as this actually deserves its reputation of a classic masterpiece.    … Expand

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    The level of control that you have over your characters' actions is truly remarkable... Simply put, this is the best thing to happen to Star Wars since the original trilogy. [Feb 2004, p.112]

    This is a class act that builds and extends the Star Wars game franchise and PC gamers are getting something their kindred XBOX owners loved to bits and will not be disappointed in any way.

    It offers some pretty fundamental improvements over the Xbox version and stands as one of the best PC RPGs out there.
