 KOTOR is my favorite game! Thanks BioWare July 14, 2007
KOTOR is my favorite video game ever! I was not really into RPGs before this game, but now they are my favorite type of game. The storyline is my favorite part of the game. The twists and turns are so much fun and surprising! BioWare really did a wonderful job with game. Carth is one of my favorite characters ever (along with Sky from another BioWare game, Jade Empire). The fighting system is easy to use. I love that you can pause it to give your orders to everyone else in the party. This is the best game, and I can't wait for BioWare to do KOTOR 3! 2 was good, but not as great as the original! I have played this game through 6 different times, as a male and female as each of the class types. I have also varied being light side and dark side. It really does make an interesting and different story each time I've played it through. Get this game if you don't already have it!
 A Bioware Classic June 15, 2007
Bioware is known for offering the best in RPG titles. KoTOR is no exception. The storyline is intriguing, varied, and broad in scope. The implementation of the 3rd edition SWRPG rules is impeccable.
My only lament is that the only real re-playability comes in the form of good vs. evil. If you play light side then you can go back and play dark side (and vice versa). This is actually quite interesting (and both options offer complex endings) but unfortunately most of the gameplay is identical regardless of which side you are on.

This is beyond a doubt the greatest example of what a Star Wars game should be. I'm sorry, but the first person shooters put out by Lucas Arts (Jedi Knight series) as well as the lackluster Battlefield games do not even match this original take on Star Wars canon. The ability to customize your character, build a party for exploration, venture on a quest of galactic importance: this game is a cinematic experience and you are out the center. Excellent voice acting, graphics, and controls.
one of my all time favorites June 4, 2007

Perhaps i am way too late in writing this review but nonetheless i'm writing one anyway! I remember seeing previews of Star Wars: KOTOR and thinking how incredible the game looked. I bought it when it came out which was a few years ago now and couldn't stop playing it. And here it is 2007 and i'm playing it again....Basically KOTOR is by far the best RPG ive ever played and why this game hasn't spawned more sequels is beyond me....but i'll get to that later.....My favorite thing about this game is the dialogue and being able to choose your own words, something you don't see to often in xbox games. Also the ability to be light or dark side makes the game even better.....i have played through this game about 4 times now, twice on the light side and twice on the dark. The first time i played this game i chose to take the path of the dark side simply because i had been denied that ability in previous games and put simply, i thought it would be fun to be the bad guy for a change....the game is incredibly realistic though in that some of the dark side dialogue will make you laugh and sometimes the things you say will leave you feeling somewhat guilty...I mainly just enjoyed picking on Carth the whole game though. You'll find that on the path of the dark side it is much easier to get what you want and personally i think it is much more fun...for instance, rather than having to do some long task for someone you can just kill them and move on...At one point you can dance with some girl to try and help win some audition but you can ruin it by taking a dive...the funny part is afterwards she confronts you about it and you can say right to her face "Look! You just weren't good enough to make the cut, Deal with it!!!" Or when Carth compains about being left out of the loop you can can just go "Aw, poor baby need some filling in?" which really irratates him...There are a million other situations similar to that though that i could talk about here. Also there are so many subplots in this game its crazy. In a good way that is....for example, you'll find that if you play as a male character you can sometimes be flirtatious with Bastilla in the things you say and if you keep it up long enough she will eventually show signs of possibly having feelings for your character, although i don't believe she ever comes right out and says it. Its just one of the little things that make this game much more interesting and like i said before, realistic...as many people have mentioned before the HK-47 droid is also very funny and if you're playing on the dark side i think you'll find him to be your best friend. He calls everyone a meatbag, and he never argues with your decisions, something Carth is all too annoying about doing....
You'll find that in this game there are so many places you can go as you can travel between worlds once you get the ebon hawk. mind you, there are only about 4 or 5 but thats still pretty good i think. There is Tatooine, which is basically a giant desert similar to the world Luke Skywalker from the movies lived on. (forgive me star wars fans, but the name of that planet has slipped my mind)....then there is Kashykk a huge forest, Korriban the Sith World, and Manaan which is a giant ocean. I'll be honest, i kind of hate manaan because if you say one mean word to someone you are fined like 200 credits. You'll have to play the game to understand fully....
You can play Pazaak with different people, which is basically like 21 black jack except 20. And you can race swoop bikes for credits, it's more fun than it sounds trust me. :)
I mentioned earlier that i thought this game should have more sequels and that it should...there was the 1, Star Wars: KOTOR 2 but it was somewhat of a disappointment...I mean, it was good i thought and some things were even better about it but the ulta-catchy dialogue from the 1st one was missing and that in itself makes this game worth playing. I just think they could have made that game much much better than they did but still i'm shocked we haven't seen more from Knights of the Old Republic. Maybe one day we'll see an even better edition on the 360. It's doubtful, but it would be awesome to say the least.
Other than that i could write pages apon pages or of reasons to buy this game but i feel i have already written too much....If you haven't played this game yet go buy it immediately! Also, it IS bc compatible so you can play it on your 360 provided you have xbox live. enjoy!

This is, simply, the best science fantasy RPG of all time. Wonderful characters, a suspenseful story, surprising plot twists, humor, this one has it all. Very, very highly recommended.
