May 10, 2022Just finished it. It was amazing: everything, from the sub-games, the plot, the game play, the combat system, the exploration. Couldn't think I could stand a so old graphic but yet it was a very satisfying experience. Can't wait to see the remake.

Feb 25, 2022The 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.

LoganG.Jan 4, 2004Great all around, except for many instances of horrible framerate and crashes on a computer with a processor and graphics card much higher than the system requirements.

MattM.Jul 8, 2004This game is almost perfect except that the combat gets a little lengthy and as William said that Malak is made up and it ruins the Exar Kun story.

FlaccidMemberNov 23, 2003This game is a pretty good mix of Baldur's Gate story and the action of NWN's singleplayer. While it doesn't succeed at having as great a story as the BG games, it is a TON better than the stuff from Ep. 1 and 2 in the movies. Overall Great Game.

DavidB.Oct 15, 2007The storyline is very intriguing. Wish we could of seen what happened after the ending squence. ( where did the characters go...) But still an amazing game.

OmeGeeDec 16, 2009Giving this game a bad score for being an RPG is silly, giving a game made in 2003 a bad score for not having next gen graphics a bad score is silly. KOTOR is a wonderfully deep RPG based in a living Star Wars universe. The game is wonderful. The only reason it didn't get a perfect score is because I found the controls to be less than intuitive. Otherwise, this is a spectacular game.

PetertheGamerNov 26, 2003Loads of fun, but very buggy. On my machine it crashed every 2 hours.

Aug 17, 2010Not ported very well for the pc, I've even got an entire save that corrupted itself and forced me to start over. Overall the kotor experience is still intact.

Oct 27, 2010This is by far the best RPG i have ever played. The only thing it misses is widescreen support. But so does almost all good games so i wont base my score around that.
-
Dec 26, 2010Its DnD and Star Wars, come on now. Jedi are a little broken but otherwise the rpg system is great. It's also nice that the game is set in a time period way before anything from the trilogy so it doesn't have to rewrite stuff. The characters are great, the story is amazing, what else do you need?
-
Jun 21, 2011Hands down my favourite Star Wars game to date. And one can argue it's one of the best RPG's of all time. The great story, the fantastic characters and the beautiful worlds made this into a game that I will never forget.

Apr 21, 2011This was the first RPG I ever played and even today compare any RPG I play to this one. Great story with a truly suprising twist, realistic fighting that I wish more RPGs had, and great characters are the staple of this game. The only downside: morality really doesn't affect the ending.
-
May 8, 2011One of the best games I ever played, it has everything....action, adventure..romance and a happy ending!! Despite the fact it was quite old when I played it, I replayed and replayed it as the story and character development was just wonderful. If you havent played this, get it and play it, you wont regret it!
-
Dec 28, 2011This game had one of the best stories I have experienced in a game, I hated the turn based combat and still loved this game because of the story and the cool cast of characters.

May 30, 2013A 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.

Dec 5, 2012One of the best Star Wars games ever made, KOTOR introduces an amnesiac protagonist ready to face his destiny. The best part is that we control his path in the story with moral choices with options to choose, in which they will reveal the light or dark path of our character. If the developers created a more complete character creator, this game would be just magnificent.
-
Mar 6, 2013Just replayed this after several years and despite having to jump through some hoops to make it work on a modern computer this game is still just as amazing as it was years ago.
-
Apr 16, 2013Great RPG. Great Star Wars game. Enjoyed it from A to Z. So much information about the Star Wars universe. Its hard to believe this game was made in 2003 since it is so full of information and there is so much to do and learn in this universe. No wonder why people are asking for KOTOR3 so much.

If you're a fan of games like Mass effect.... PLAY THIS GAME! and be prepared for the best video game, Star wars experience ever made. -
Sep 3, 2013This game is a must buy, 31hours of gameplay and more. Some small bugs like crashing and bad ally AI when walking keeps it from a 10/10. I only hope for a 3rd game
-
Oct 2, 2016Absolute classic !
The only game until now where your choices really matters. I'm still waiting for another game where you have this amount of freedom to develop your character to a shining hero or a cruel villain. No Witcher or Mass Effect can give me that. -
Nov 2, 2013The KotOR series is one of my favourite series. When I first played the game, I had high hopes for it. The game impressed me, despite its age. Few games give as many choices, plot twists, and lovable characters. Sadly, I did get stuck and ended up looking up a quick guide, which ended up spoiling a bit plot twist.

I dont trust ea anymore anything they touch turns to crap -
Jun 17, 2015A 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!
-

Oct 1, 2015Best star wars game ever made. I would also go as far as saying greatest star wars story of all time. The combat is very deep and there are multiple ways to play out the story.
-
Feb 26, 2020Amazing RPG for it's time. It's story is the best, the plot twist was jaw dropping, gameplay is balanced, characters where interesting. I only get annoyed by the oversimplified good side bad side thing that BioWare tends to do.
-
Mar 21, 2016A really great game with a great cast and amazing twists this game is considered the best for a reason. However it has the black and white mentality and it doesn't have real moral problems. All actions are considered good or evil which makes it a bit one dimensional but it still is a masterpiece and is a must play for all star wars fans!
-
Apr 12, 2016Awesome plot, great characters, good gameplay, beautiful locations... only a few bugs and technical problems give it "only" 9/10!
This is probably one of the best games of all times. -
Dec 17, 2018Must have,good music-following,D & D battle style,The most uncommon Companions,Good,but easy to guess twist and Plot,Awaiting for a Old Bioware comeback...
-
Jun 17, 2018Единственная игра, которая пошла на моём стареньком нетбуке. Только за это ей можно ставить 10 баллов)). А если серьёзно, то игра действительно крутая. Именно эти Биовары перевернули моё восприятие жанра RPG.

Dec 5, 2017One of the best RPG's ever. The story is great, however there are some encounters that can be very hard, even on easy mode. Apart from that the rest of the game is perfect.

Nov 29, 2017The best game I've ever played. The story is unbelievably good, better than original, trilogy! Fighting system is good, but I can see where it can be improved. Amazing music, fantastic side quests, and many great characters like Bastila Shan or Darth Malak and Carth......yea **** you Carth, If not you, I would give this game 10/10. This game is "must play" for everyone.

Feb 1, 2020One of the best RPGs of all time. The first game I played where your decisions determine outcome etc. Played 3 times through for Light side, Darkside and neutral play experiences : )

Jun 22, 2020This is a great RPG with an excellent story that I wish was canon. Definitely one of the best star wars games I've played.

Nov 21, 2020This is realny good Star Wars game. Yes, same of characters (Yoda?) are simillar to characters from the movies but who cares? The plot is great. And locations are great too. Really loved this.

May 13, 2021Wow... 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.

Jan 2, 2022This 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?
-
Jan 9, 2022Nice game, fans will love it. This game has already become a classic. I recommend for passing. 9.3 / 10

Jun 12, 2022A 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.

Feb 12, 2012KotOR was not without its flaws, but a great classic nonetheless. Systemically, it borrowed from thew Baldur's Gates and other 'pause and plan' combat RPG's... The pause and plan combat is definitely not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. The characters were the stars of the show. I mean, HK47, mirite?

Game InformerThe 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.
