STAR WARS™: Knights of the Old Republic

(I know the title is argueable, just don't take it too literally...) not only is this one of the best computer RPGs ever, it's argueably one of the best star wars stories and the best part is that you get to be the hero in it and make a few decisions that will trully make a difference in the world. After finding the jedi master bastilla and escaping taris, you're going to travel through a few planets in the galaxy, to find out what darth malak and his master darth revan are planning. In your journy you're going to encounter siths, mandalorians, assassins that are after you, giant monsters, powerfull clans , corporations and families, outlaws, different tribes of alien races and a lot more really cool things. Other than being a jedi and crafting your own lightsaber at somepoint you will also get to bounty hunt through the galaxy, go swoop racing, become a duelist, gamble your money in games of pazaak and just scaveng in the dune sea of tatooine or in the shadowlands of kashyyk and a few other planets. Alone or with companians that you will have to find in your journy to assist you, all with their own stories and problem which you can help them with. the rpg elements are a lot of fun too, you get to manage the statistics, skills, equipment and force powers(only for jedis) of your companians individually, so you can specialize them for certain tasks, like having one companion for stealth and another to help you with computers. It's immersive and very exciting, especially if you liked the original star wars movies, there's even a really cool plot twist in the middle of the game which's is just as shocking as darth vader's true identity reveal, if not it's better. It's a must play if you're either a star wars fan or a RPG fan.

This game is a legend. It is a masterpiece, was made by the best RPG studio in the world. I talk about the Bioware before EA bought it. I talk about the creators of Baldur Gate, Neverwinter Night, Mass Effect, Jade Empire. Of course the graphics is outdated, but i prefer content over graphics. However it still looks good. I really encourage to try this wonderful game. You will be pleased with great story, unique npc's, great dialogues, amazing quests, rich world, a true Star Wars feeling where one is tempted to use the dark force. There are different outcomes and endings, it all depends from you. This is how a Star Wars game should be and not a silly shooter.

This game really makes you feel like a protagonist in a Star Wars film. The characters are strong, the plot interesting, the combat fun and makes you think. One of those timeless classics that people will love for generations to come.

One of the best of the best RPG that i have played (one level with Fallout2, for example). Perfect in all. Im not a "star wars" fan, just like RPG games with soul. Thank you, peoples who create it, you give me adventure that i never forget.

Very dated in terms of graphics and combat but still a fun rpg set in the star wars universe. The intro almost put me to sleep but once you get past the tutorial it gets a lot better, especially when you start unlocking force powers. The story is very basic, sith are assholes and want a weapon that has unspeakable capabilities and jedi are chill and want peace blah blah dark side blah blah light side, youve heard it all before. Where the game really shines is the lore, the game goes into great detail about the events that shaped the political landscape of the universe which helps prop the otherwise bland story up. The voice acting is pretty damn good for a game from the early 2000's and the script is no slouch either, although some dialogue is pretty cringe worthy and feels like it was written by an agnsty teen. The combat was honestly the worst part of the game for me. I get that with dice rolls its a more traditional rpg experience but it makes some encounters incredibly frustrating when its coupled with the clunkyness of targeting and movement. There will be fights where you get stunned infinitely with no recourse, these fights are literally based on luck and there were a few times where I had to retry a section just because I kept getting bad rolls. Graphically the game is very dated, the enviorments are empty and forgettable(with exception of the sith temple grounds) with not much variation. In spite of those flaws I still think the game is very solid in most of what it attempts to do as an rpg and can see why so many people have nostalgia for it. I really hope this gets a remake in the future because if this game looked better it would be masterpiece material.
