Easily one of the best RPGs ever made.
It's been over a decade since Knights of the Old Republic was released, and I can honestly say that in my opinion, I don't believe a better RPG has been released since - though some have come very close. KOTOR is what every RPG should strive to be. A compelling story, right from the start - interesting (and occasionally hilarious) companions, a variety of visually distinct locations, excellent gameplay, and a very diverse character development system. It has one of the best plot twists in video game history midway through the game, and HK-47 is hilarious as a murderous Minsc-like stand-in. There are a few flaws; occasionally my character would get stuck in the terrain, usually necessitating a reload. Fortunately these were fairly rare, and the auto-save feature generally prevented me from losing too much progress. There were a few other bugs, but nothing that stands out in my memory at the moment. A few gameplay mechanics caused problems - most notably, your character doesn't begin the game as a Jedi, and there's a level limit of, if memory serves, 20. This means that on the first planet, if you do everything possible and continue to level up, your later progress as a Jedi is limited. Fortunately, leveling up is triggered manually with enough experience; after level 2 (which the tutorial forces you to take), you can simply wait to 'trigger' levels until after your Jedi training, though this understandably increases the difficulty in the early game. These minor problems aside, I strongly recommend this game to any RPG fan - even if you don't care for, or even like, the Star Wars setting. While it's true that Star Wars fans are bound to have a greater appreciation for the setting, KOTOR's RPG mechanics and storytelling are so successful that any fan of the genre is almost guaranteed to enjoy it.
