STAR WARS™: Knights of the Old Republic

What a game it is! I haven't played it since it was released back in 04-05 but I really enjoyed it back then even with it's apparent shortcomings. And now I played it, for the first time, with the Restored Content Mod. The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification (or TSLRCM for short) this mod deserves to be up there in upper echelon of mods like 'Counter-Strike', 'Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Unofficial Patch' and 'Team Fortress'. The game itself is a fucking fantastic RPG with a great story by the Nr 1 game writer of all time; Chris Avellone. And a great soundtrack by the experienced composer Mark Griskey who has done a lot of soundtrack for different Star Wars property, so he knows what he's doing. And how good is the writing? Well a character named Kreia, who is the singular best written character of all of Star Wars-dome, get the question of how the Force feels like and she replies with this; "The Force is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living creature to creature, set in motion by currents and eddies. It is the eye of the storm, the passions of all living things turned into energy, into a chorus. It is the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of new territories and new blood, the call of new mysteries in the dark." My God that is so fucking good! That is what I'm talking about! This is when Star Wars is interesting and mysterious. Anyway the game is great and you should play it. I'd only recommend playing it without TSLRCM if you want to first play it as to see how it was release originally so you can then replay it with TSLRCM so you'd appreciate the mod's inclusion. But you should play it with TSLRCM nevertheless.

Fantastic from start to finish. The story, the music, the characters. Just great. I loved playing this game when it came out, and I still love playing it today. Top marks for Bioware on this one. Buy it. You won't regret it.

There have been quite a few Star Wars games on the market but none of them rival the movies in any way except this amazing game by Bioware. The story is incredible, the cast of characters are so well thought out, you'll actually start to care for them after a while. KOTOR will let you visit and explore several worlds within the Star Wars universe like no other game before. If you're a fan of Star Wars and RPG games, you can't miss out on this one, it's probably one of the greatest games of all time!

I played this game a long time ago in a city far far away. When I first moved to a new town this game and my xbox were all I had. Still trying to find friends I would come home after school and play the hell out of this. Now I will admit being only 10 this game was pretty hard and I did not fully appreciate it till last night (as this review is being written) I decided to bust out the old console and play this gem again. It still holds up and now I am finding myself wanting to play it more (and Kotor2) new "builds" I am finding new ways to play this game and the one after are some of my all time favorite. For all you newcomers the gameplay is kind of like Dragon age with a mass effect flair (light side dark side alignment). Its solid and although the graphics are dated you can find hd mods and stuff to make them better. This game is a 10/10 5/5 whatever! Story, gameplay replayability, difficulty its all here and will stay . BTW REVAN IS THE BEST SITH FTW Thank you to whoever is reading for taking the time to read all of this. I felt like it was something to get off my chest.

There is something of perfection in KotOR I. Story is typical epic starwars. But the universe magic is just flooding out of screen. Quests are interesting, locations versalite, it is fun how player can aproach game in different ways. The companions are likeable. Game mechanic has some twists to make it interesting, and is easy to manage. There is this wonderfull semi open act II. Just modular design of story is great, when it feels like we have freedom even if everything is on rails, but it still dosnt matter, since story is so appealing. Even graphic is not so bad (considering the age). The only missing things are weapon mods and companion sidequests.
