The controls are slow and unreasonable! The graphics are foggy and unseeable. The gameplay is boring with nothing new about it. This is the the first rpg with Star Wars, and it's the worst!


Even as a preview it's worth 5 stars.   February 27, 2003

There's always going to be banter about how good a game is, or should be, prior to its release. That depends on what you've read, what you believe, and whether any one has gotten their hands on the demo yet. While Star Wars games have a spotty history, there are also some great moments in there, and this is the next one.

For the first time ever we have a Star Wars RPG, based on Wizards of the Coast d20 system, which comprises 6 primary attributes (what are commonly referred to as "stats"), a collection of secondary attributes (a set of stats which are rules derived) and lastly skills and feats. A skill is anything a character can learn to do and can be improved with time. They include swimming, sneaking, bluffing and ; a feat is best described as a heroic trait which separates your character from the average Jane or Joe Alien.

Combat is run in "bullet-time" for lack of a better explanation. Things continue to happen in slowmotion as you select an action/attack/Force power to use and then goes back to real time once you've selected it. You can be accompanied by two other members of your overall team and can switch them out aboard the Ebon Hawk, your personal ship and cruiser.

The game is developed by Bio-Ware, who are the front-line geniuses of PC RPGs right now. Their first foray into the realm of the console RPG looks to be nothing short of stunning. Believe the hype. Use the Force. And get ready to pick a side, because KOTOR is going to put the fate of the galaxy directly into your hands.

...this promises to be a very good game.

Bioware (the developer or author, LucasArts is the publisher) has a track record of very good games like Neverwinter Nights and the Baldur's Gate series.

Most console video games are for people with good hand eye coordination. This will be different. It is not how fast you push the buttons or how carefully you aim the cursor that counts, but rather how you think about how to approach a puzzle, problem or battle. This is the game for people who like a rich story, good dialogue and an rich world to explore along with their adventure and excitement.

First off I will start out as saying I am a STAR WARS junkie . Therefor the release of this game will probably be one of the best days of my life . I say probably because when I first saw this game being tested their were a lot of glitches . However from the screens and new cut sceens that I have seen those wizards at the know famous Bioware have done it again . The color surpasses anything ever seen on a console i.e. Xbox Rulz . The graphics far surpass that of any competiter . This is an all around kick [butt] game and it will be when it is released unless the boys at Biowear realy screw things up before release . Which I am glad to say is not in the geeks reputation , however reputation is reputation I guess you'll just have to find out for yourselfs . This game does have the power to be one of the greatest RPG experiances of all time .
