Editorial Reviews: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Hours and Hours of great play! Comment: My 10 year old son played this on the legacy Xbox console with a friend and loved it. When we discovered it was backward compatible with 360 we purchased it used from Amazon. Much cheaper and quicker than EBAY. My son has been playing it for a month now and unlike other Xbox games he has not completed the story and moved on to something new. The multiple story paths (Jedi or darkside)that your actions take you down are a great feature and lends itself well to an out of the box experience. While the graphics are old-school and somewhat blocky (Sometime the audio hiccups as well), the story is ever unfolding and the evolution of the characters makes for an engrossing experience. This is the kind of game that you keep playing over and over again just for fun and to experience the changes based on your decisions. Very challenging and worth every dollar, great value for a used game! Customer Rating: Summary: This game is great Comment: this game is awesome. just as I remember it. The only problem I've had is is that the sound effects cut out every once in a while but that might be my xbox opposed to the actual game Customer Rating: Summary: Best RPG for the xbox or xbox 360 Comment: Nice gameplay system with interesting plot. Played about 12 hours and reached a stopping point after a week, I'll finish it when I have more time. Customer Rating: Summary: not that good Comment: when i bought this game i would give it a 5 out of 5 but on the 30 or 40th day it kept on stoping no matter how much i cleaned it.your going to say i did not take care of it but from the day i bought it i kept it in mint condition. but it still kept stopping.i gt a casing over it to make it work.but it still dose not work.and the disc was brand new. Customer Rating: Summary: A must-have Xbox RPG Comment: This game is one of the greatest I've ever played, but buyer beware: this is an RPG, not a shooter or "action" game, although the game itself has plenty of action. The game revolves around a character you create at the game's onset, whose past gets filled in as the story progresses and whose decisions influence the future of the galaxy. You eventually can pick up another nine characters, including Jedi, a Wookiee and droids, one of which is one of the most amusing characters I've ever seen. As the story takes place thousands of years before the events of the films, you don't need to be a Star Wars junkie to dive right in. The game features lots of ways to customize your character's abilities, and more than enough sidequests to keep people interested. Many of these quests influence your alignment - the more you lean toward the Light Side, the more comfortable people will feel around you (and thus, I found, they will give you more quests as the game goes on). The Dark Side is pretty profitable, though, to make up for that. The biggest thing that one has to get used to is the combat mechanic. It is very D&D-style, using a simulated 20-sided die roll to resolve actions (for example, a base target of 10 + 5 (for opponent's defense) - 3 (your attack bonus) = 12 (modified to-hit target). Thankfully, this mechanic runs in the background and is quickly ignored. When you sight an enemy, you can choose to engage them, choosing a series of actions to take (e.g. normal attack, special attack, throw grenade, normal attack) that you can modify on the fly. Hardcore shooter fans will hate it, but most people will adapt to it fairly quickly. Plus, the later stages of the game are frenetic enough that most people will appreciate KOTOR's approach to combat. The game also has significant replay value - besides the obvious filling out your quest and item logs, your choices influence the ending. So if you played the first time as a goody-two-shoes, you can run through it again as a horseman of apocalypse and see what happens this time. This game requires a serious investment of time - you're looking at least 25 hours, and that's only if you're amazingly good, uncannily lucky and do none of the sidequests. A few minor complaints I have about the game: first off, the only time you can change a character's equipment is when they are in your active party. This is particularly frustrating when you are in your base with all nine standing around you, but becuase you haven't selected them, you physically have to leave the base with two at a time to change equipment (good luck if your pulling a 4-character switch like I did :( ). Second, some of the videos a dialogue animations are buggy. Third, there is a convenient "Return to base" option; the problem is, it is not always active. This is fine for, say, a boss stage you can't escape until you defeat said boss, but in some cases it makes no sense (i.e. I can walk back through one doorway and it will work on the other side). Minor complaints aside, KOTOR rightly deserves those Game of the Year awards it won. If you like (or can at least tolerate) a true RPG, pick this up.
