In my top ten RPG`s
This is the game that turned me towards RPG`s. I have finished the game around ten times. The only negative might be that the graphics show they`re age. If you get past that you get a great story, solid mechanics and great characters.

Flawed RPG, Decent Star Wars Story
This game is fun and beloved for a reason, don't get me wrong, but it has major flaws once you get familiar with it enough. On the gameplay side there are huge disparities between the power of different stats and classes as the game goes on due to how underutilized many of the systems are. For instance, a force-power-focused character (especially dark-siders) built right will start a little weak but go on to become death incarnate to a degree that honestly makes combat boring with few exceptions. The reason for this is huge area-of-effect powers with no risk of friendly fire, whereas everyone else is stuck dealing with a single enemy at a time. Furthermore, only Persuade is an important skill for the player to have (some Repair helps with one companion though), since everything else can either be done by your easily-swapped companions or simply ignored due to its trivial benefits. Another major issue has to do with the fact that the main character doesn't gain force points or powers retroactively, meaning that it is usually best to simply never level up your character for the first few hours until you change to a Jedi class, due to the level cap. Not fun. The gameplay UI is truly awful, too, since you need to constantly cycle through items and powers one at a time with no quickbar. Story wise things are better, but often still a little basic and cliche. Dialogue is nothing to write home about, and only a few quests really stand out. Your dialogue choices tend to be painfully basic and binary, with the dark side options being cartoon-villainy with no hint of cunning or tact. One of the companions is really great and lampshades these sorts of things, but he is contrasted by mostly-shallow alternatives. The plot involves some interesting elements and a famous twist, but again it's really lacking in complexity, especially compared to KOTOR 2. Alas, this game is outdone in almost every way by its flawed masterpiece of a sequel (given community patches).

Bioware's best game
Ok, real talk now. Everything Bioware did after KOTOR was, in one way or another, derivative of KOTOR. Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age were all made using the same mold that Bioware PERFECTED with KOTOR. Knights of the Old Republic isn't very nuanced. It's not a complex story. It doesn't have as many emotional moments as later Bioware titles - and that's not a bad thing. This game's list of stuff to do wasn't something that happened in a board room, but it IS the game that set the stage for many things that went on such lists in its wake. The list of things to do was "Make a perfect Star Wars RPG" and that's what they did. All their games after KOTOR were like "Ok, let's try to recapture the perfect game we made last time, but in a different setting." In my opinion, they failed each and every time. This is the definitive Bioware experience.

Great Game, but Get it Somewhere Else
This is one of the greatest games of all time, but not here. Even compared to other vendors, the GOG version is extremely unstable, frequently crashing to desktop and having persistent difficulties whenever a cutscene appears. I've played this game from different (modern) sources, and this particular offering is something to avoid.
