REVIEW THIS GAME
WalMart
"From a Galaxy far, far, away…The XBOX hits the mother load of Star Wars games, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. KOTOR is a super in depth RPG that will make RPG fans and Star Wars fans alike go into complete game overload. Not without it’s minor problems, but the character development, vast detailed environments, and the ever-alluring battle between the Light Side and the Dark Side are sure to overcome the blemishes."

Blind Whiplash
Date reviewed: February 1, 2007.

Overall: Fun and exiting at first but after a while it got kinda boring. It just didnt stand out like i hoped it would. but it was still satisfying.
Gameplay: Controls might seem a little....complicated at first but overall they will be easy to learn once you get passed the odd button placement.
Graphics: A bit fuzzy when looking into long distances on the game but short distances gives it really good look. Overall i think the visuals arent perfect or bad but they certainly could have been better.
Sound: Sounds were a bit....generic. But nevertheless they were still in good quality for how easy and simple the sounds were.
Suggestions: try to make it more like starwars the movies where you have a lightsaber no mater what. The sword fights would be cool if they happened all the time.

Date reviewed: April 27, 2006.

Overall: This is my first Star Wars game I have ever played, and if I didn’t win this game on XBA I probably never would have. I have grew to like this game and now I play it almost everyday.

Gameplay: This is one of the best RPG’s I have ever played. Very fast paced and fun to play. If you’re an RPG fan or Star Wars fan then I highly recommend this one for your collection.
Graphics: The players faces are not the most realistic, they have some work to do. However the environments are well done.
Sound: Very good voice-overs and realistic weapon sounds. The background music is good, goes along with the action.

Overall: a outstanding RPG set a long time before the orginal episodes of star wars, such a great game, a learning experiance, and a load of fun
Gameplay: not your standard RPG, its a new system of real time/ role playing... i dont know how to describe it, you play as you go i guess
Graphics: good, but not great, some places look great, while others lack polish, but it doesnt take away from the game itself
Sound: great authentic star wars sounds and voices, very well put together. not rushed, and very polished.
Suggestions: give me another one quick!

Date reviewed: June 5, 2005.

Overall: I own two copies of this game and have played it over 500 hours. I have played every part of the game including all of the character's side-missions and the secret parts such as joining the assassins guild. This game is the greatest RPG ever created! And the ending made me leap out of my chair (Let me remind you this is the fourth day of straight playing, besides bathroom and food breaks, and I'm deshevled looking and weak. So being able to leap out of the chair really says something!)
Gameplay: I am not a big fan of clicking tool bar buttons to fight, but nevertheless it was still great. Their is a lot of replay value in that their is always something to find that you have never found before...like the galaxy droid. You can even kill certain people that were supposed to come on the ship with you, but your actions changed that.
Graphics: Visually stunning! When the lightsabers clash sparks will fly everywhere. The water, and fields are b..e..a..utiful!
Sound: Classic Star Wars! The lightsaber, blaster, ect. sounds are just as one would expect. The music is also one of the best. The music is very calming and placid..it draws the character into the star wars universe.
Suggestions: Please just add real combat I do not like pressing the attack button to accomplish a pre-set attack...I want to control the jedi...But everything else is awesome!

mordecai
Date reviewed: January 3, 2005.

Overall: This is a nice, long RPG. It lasted me about 45 hours the first time through and it's worth going through a second time to be good/evil. Some of the attributes don't seem to be very usefull at all (repair was rarely used and treat injury only helps your ability to use medpacks but eventually you get force heal which is just better then health packs). Good twists throughout the storyline and there was variation in the gameplay to keep it from getting boring.
Gameplay: The battle system was a mix of real time and turn-based (it's real time but you can pause to give orders), which at first seemed unskilled but will grow on you. In the beginning, you feal like your just watching a fight take place. As you start having a larger party and harder enemies you need to issue many comands to win, so you get more involved. A minor flaw is that badly done minigames, like shototing enemy ships that are attacking you in space. They were a bit to sporadic and didn't seem to effect the game; no matter how bad I did, I always seemed to win those fights.
Graphics: I liked the visuals. They were grand in scale but never seemed to cause lag issues. The enviroments also managed to vary from planet to planet so that you felt you were really going to different solar systems. The characters weren't special but they were solid star wars creations, nothing wierd or unexpected. This was a good thing since they were taking what already exists and embelishing on it.
Sound: The best part of the sound was all of the recorded dialogue. There was hours and hours of it in there, everything spoke to you. The voice acting was done believably for the main characters which is something that has hurt games in the recent past. There isn't much I can say about the soundtrack, it wasn't particularly notable but it supported the action without becoming repetitive.
Suggestions: Fix balance issues and make less cardboard allies. It would also be good to have some actions that fall on the middle line, and not to the extremes.

Overall: Okay I played this at my friends house, while on vacation. There was nothing else to do! Luckily it was time well wasted! I loved this game it one of the best RPG's in the world!
Gameplay: The gameplay is awesome, you can choose to be more dark, or more good! I loved the fact that almost anything is interactable! And the battle's involve turn based action!!!
Graphics: Oh my god! This game dominated visually! All the different objects, characters, environments were amazing! I especially liked the explosions, and other special effects.
Sound: The sound was awesome! All the weapons made different noises, the sound effects were well done. And to top it off the voice acting was amazing!
Suggestions: Add a live feature!

Date reviewed: October 26, 2004.

Overall: Overall this game beat my expectations. I'm not really a big star wars fan, but this game made me like it even more.
Gameplay: The gameplay is unique. The fighting is done automatically. Plenty of people to meet/do. Very nice side quests.
Graphics: The visuals on the game are pretty good..could be better, but they beat most games on the market pretty easily.
Sound: The sound is great for star wars. I thought this is the one expectation where they could of done 10/10 since it is Star Wars.
Suggestions: Maybe you can turn to the dark side. Maybe you can do the fighting yourself. Hard to give suggestions without dramitially changing the game.

Date reviewed: October 10, 2004.

Overall: Star Wars KOTOR is a RPG witch is loaded with everything from customized weapons(lightsabers) to choosing skills . Star Wars KOTOR is a MUST HAVE for the Xbox
Gameplay: There is a ton to do in this game. While your ultimate goal is to defeat the sith, the side quests are aplenty. You can do anything from hunting monsters on Tantoine, to fighting in death matches on Taris.
Graphics: Graphics are great. Lightsabers look really cool, especially when fighting more than one other jedi at the same time. The settings are beautiful, especially the outdoor plains and hills. The character models are well done and look great. A+ on the graphics for a game of this kind.

Sound: The sound in KOTOR is simply out standing whether your creeping through the sith temple or walking in an open field

Date reviewed: September 23, 2004.

Overall: this game is great cause you can choose what side of the force you gonna be on, im Good this time round, but next im going BAD! its great it will be a tottally new game when i go evil.
Gameplay: there are a lot of different skills and controls for this game which is great, you can heal your entier party, and learn new attacks.You can requier special computer chips for your robot partners and much more, i still dont know what some of the skills do cause only one side of the force can achieve certen powers. but so far ive learn alot about star wars in general about the light side and want to learn more about the dark side when i play next time around.
Graphics: the visuals are great and the combat moves (with swords/light savers) look real with great swords man ship and Moves.
Sound: sounds are just like your playing the movie, with good voice overs and some good one liners from a droid who refers humans as meatbag's

Suggestions: maybe you could make the fighting parts more real by having you control the players doging abilities

Date reviewed: September 23, 2004.

Overall: i really did not have time to get into this game, so i feel it would be unfair to class it as good or bad.. but i am not hugely familiar with rpgs... and as good as this game probably is... i found it hard to get into. not one of my personal choices of games... but the majority like it so it must be good... i think with a bit more time to get used to the gameplay and story i could have been hooked like so many others... i sugest that you give this game time
Gameplay: i was new to the style of gameplay, but im sure if i had rented it for longer than a day i could have got used to it. i found it tricky, but never had time to get used to it... a bit difficult in my oppinion... but rpg games usually are at the beginning
Graphics: not visually impresive for xbox... not bad, but not good.... just average. maybe a couple of yers ago, but outclassed today.
Sound: sound is really just average... voices all sound like they were recorded in a studio... which they were, but the player of the game is not supposed to know that, the audio should give the impresion of being in the environment in the game
Suggestions: graphical improvements, and a better tutorial

Date reviewed: August 31, 2004.

Overall: So im more of a FPS guy myself, but this RPG made me reconsider, although the game is extremely long (can be a good or bad thing), around 40+ hours if you play around w/ leveling your guy and side quests, it gets kinda boring, running around cities trying to find where your sopposed to go. The visuals however are awsome, sound aint half bad either.
Gameplay: I only have 2 problems with this game, you sometimes get lost and then have to find where your sopposed to go which can take a good half hour (depending on how clueless you are), and the fighting, i thought it was pretty cool at first but it gets repetative very fast, and with turn based battles it doesnt take much skill to punch in a few attacks and add a force power here and there.
Graphics: Overall visuals are amazing, did well on people, animals (for the most part), ships... everything only bad this is that backgrounds look 2d. Other than that, amazing.

Sound: Sounds will deafently not get you bored, from clashing of lightsabres to the different languages, you wont hear one thing twice.
Suggestions: Change fighting style so it requires a little bit of skill to kill and enemy, maybe less walking around.

Date reviewed: August 3, 2004.

Overall: Thrilling RPG set in the Star Wars universe.Great if you have 40+ hours to burn. Only complaint I have is that it gets boring somewhat quickly.
Gameplay: KotOR(thats Knights of the Old Republic for those of you who have been under a rock for the past year)is set 4000 years before the movies.You play as a character who you create who wakes up on a Republic vessel that is under attack by the Sith.Having no clue about how or why your there, you attempt to escape the ship before it becomes another statistic in this brutal war.But do not worry, you are not alone.You will have 11(if you include Trask) party members who each have their own unique personalities, talents, and even quests.The game uses a real-time turn base system which at first sounds like a terrible idea but is actually pretty cool.You combat enemies like the Sith to thugs to strange creatures using melee weapos like Vibroswords and lightsabers, or you can use Ranged Weapon's like blasters.You can interact with NPC's(thats Non-playable characters for the rock people) to find new quests.There is over 10'000 lines of diolague in the game so you are given multiple choices on what to say.KotOR's story is very intriguing and one of the best RPG's I ave ever played.However, the game is quite easy no matter what setting you have it on. Also, once you see both endings and after the 4th time I went through the game I got bored.
Graphics: The visual's are actually quite amazing in KotOR.I'll tell you one thing, it definitely has its moments.
Sound: Sound is average. Exactly what you would expect from a Star Wars game.Dialogue is well done and the voice's sound great.
Suggestions: The bar is raised. Let's see someone else climb over it.Best RPG on XBox in my opinion.Hopefully Bioware, you know what your doing by have Obsidian
develope KotOR 2:The Sith Lords(Due December 6th). Nevertheless, I have faith.

Date reviewed: July 28, 2004.

Overall: I approached this game disliking Star Wars, comparing it to The Matrix in terms of geeky boredom. But I left respecting the fact Star Wars has grown to be more than a few films, but an entire fictional universe, with some of the greatest storylines I have witnessed. I really got into this game, and it's perhaps the best Xbox game I have played to date.
Gameplay: This game plays great, I was skeptical about turn based combat, but it's handled pretty well. Control is responsive, interaction is handled well. It's a fun game to play, you don't end up frustraited, and although the game isn't exceptionally hard, it provides a good challenge. The outstanding story means you'll want to continue playing just to find out what happens more than anything.
Graphics: Not the most outstanding visuals I have seen, but some effects are fantastic, water especially. I'm slightly disapointed at the lack of detail in certain places is slightly disapointing, but the visuals do their job well, and the outstanding gameplay and storyline means you don't care too much about the graphics. Overall, good, but not outstanding, but as long as the lightsabers are done well, which they are, then all is well.
Sound: Sound is handled well, lightsabers and blasters sound exactly as their should, general effects are excellent to match, familar musical interludes are present, but its the amazing amount of dialogue which really is impressive, every conversation is voiced, and considering the amount of characters and possible outcomes, that's alot of time spent in the studio.
Suggestions: For KOTOR II, not that much needs to be done, just futher the story of the first game.

The rest of the game is quite outstanding, just tightening up what's already there would do just fine.

Perhaps some more DLC, but I'm not sure this is even needed...

Overall: Really great game, could of had more help on the getting around to the next mission thing. Had no idea how to kill the rancor.
Gameplay: Allright gameplay, but you had to manuver weirdly to get the camera to focus right, and sometimes your team mates would start firing for no reason and your cover would be blown.
Graphics: Great visual effects, the force moves looked very realistic, blaster bolts very nice, all menus streamlined, but the characters were etchy.
Sound: Everywhere there is sound, its awsome, the sparks coming from ripped wires, the roars of monsters, you get the point.

Overall: I'm not a fan of rpgs. KOTOR is an exception. This game is the most addicting game ive played. It's plot is extremely good, regardless of the fact its a game. The game is enormous, and while the gameplay is varied, with minigames, by the end I was tired of playing; granted this is after 15 hours of playing
Gameplay: There is a ton to do in this game. While your ultimate goal is to defeat the sith, the side quests are aplenty. You can do anything from hunting monsters on Tantoine, to fighting in death matches on Taris. Combat is turn based, but after you choose your attacks battle becomes real time. As you progress through the game you can develop new physical attacks, as well as force attacks

Graphics: The visuals are good. The cities and landscapes are incredible, just look at the ruins on Korriban.
Sound: The voice acting is good, sound effects are good, the only negative is the music is repetative, and somewhat annoying

Date reviewed: February 25, 2004.

Overall: This game is the best RPG i have played since Super Nintendo. By far the best RPG of it's type. More enjoyable than any other game i have played on Xbox, I couldn't put the controller down until i beat it. Now i'm playing through it again on the light side. The plot is superior to any of the new Star Wars movies and is reminiscent of Empire in it's twists and unexpected plot points. Best story of any game on Xbox by far
Gameplay: The gameplay is good, I was skeptical when i first learned it was a turn based 3D rpg, i didn't think it would work properly, but i was wrong. It works well for the game and the fighting looks great even though you don't necessarily control everything you do. The menus are easy to use and control is superior.
Graphics: Graphics are great. Lightsabers look really cool, especially when fighting more than one other jedi at the same time. The settings are beautiful, especially the outdoor plains and hills. The character models are well done and look great. A+ on the graphics for a game of this kind.
Sound: I can't say too much about the sound, i don't exactly have a great system to judge it on. But with the setup I have the sound is very immersive, classic Star Wars sound effects, really helps the feel and flow of the game.
Suggestions: I would suggest making more weapons upgradeable and making the color crystals for the lightsabers have distinct effects as well. Story was great, although i think it would be interesting to change the main storyline depending on whether you are leaning light side or dark side, makes it a more interesting game. Especially since the main storyline in KOTOR makes way more sense for a darkside character. Great job guys and I can't wait for the sequel.

Date reviewed: February 23, 2004.

Overall: I was one of those people who coun't wait for KOTOR when it was annouced. I knew that it showed great promise when Bioware and Lucasarts teamed up, but I still had a fear that it may turn into another medicore title. I had purchased Star Wars: Obiwan for the xbox when it was released and it was a game that had alot of promise but didnt fulfill in any of its aspects, luckily Lucasarts has learned from there mistakes.

Gameplay: Game Play--8--
When I first picked up the game I feared that the controls would be difficult but luckily the tutorial at the start of the game explains every aspect of what needs to be done. But sadly watching your commands flow is where the game runs into problems. The entire game has slow down which gets to become a big hindrance, but since it has never led to a complete game freeze I won't say it hurts the game to bad
Graphics: n though the graphics in KOTOR are not the worst i've ever seen they sadly do not break much ground in upgrading them, even though they are not terribile graphics it surprises me to how much detail they could have spent on them. But just because there is room for improvement doesn't mean that it hurts the game.

Sound: Sound--10--
The sound in KOTOR is simply out standing whether your creeping through the sith temple or walking in an open field the sound realisim always makes you feel that your in a living breathing world, I normally don't pay much attention to sound but in KOTOR you can't help but notice how wonderful of a job they've done.

Date reviewed: February 21, 2004.

Overall: Starwars: Knights of the old Republic is my favorite game of all time, because of many things, the gameplay is flawless, the sound is perfect, and it's Starwars!
Gameplay: The control is awesome, the fighting engine is great for this type of game, the puzzles are challenging, the story is masterful, the D&D style level development and fighting engine works wonderfully, I honestly can't think of anything wrong with the gameplay.
Graphics: The in-game visuals are not to say the greatest, but the plentiful cinemas with great graphics make up for it, and because i don't really care about in-game graphics (except for shooters 'cuz then you can't tell who you are shooting, but this isn't a shooter is it?)I'll still give this game a high score.
Sound: Classic starwars, the music and sound effects are true to every starwars movie ever made. Perfect!!!
Suggestions: More downloadable content, LONGER, more upgrades, more planets, five times as many sidequests (love em'), more lightsaber colors (black?????), (pink???????)

Date reviewed: February 2, 2004.

Overall: Wookies, Lightsabers, Spacestations...the Star Wars Universe just took a galactic leap with this detailed rpg. I've never played a game with such character development and plot twists. It kept my hand glued to the controller from morning 'til night. I'd love to see this plot turned into a movie. Kudos to the writers.
Gameplay: Choose to control the actions of just your character or those of your companions as well. Get to know all your character's abilities, even if you let them auto level-up. Sometimes you find they have acquired really powerful skills, but they rarely choose to use them on their own. Love the pause button for battles. It really lets you analize your opponents and select coordinate attacts. Plus, you can do that bullet-time rotation. The character development is the best I've ever experienced. You really start to know, understand and care about the characters in your group. It brought a whole new dimension to gameplay for me. On another note, I loved all the characters except Juhani. She just seemed too 2-dimensional. Maybe because she didn't have a side story to give any of it meaning. I got tired of listening to her pointless "poverty" stories. Her backstory went no where, did nothing. And though I really loved Carth...what a weenie. His character slumped and whined a lot. He seemed just a little too wishy-washy at times. But then, it really made it a lot of fun to deliver those occassional sarcastic biting lines to him.
Graphics: Most of the visuals are exceptional. Cut scenes where the Ebon Hawk is landing on Dantooine look so real. The only big drawback is that the NPC characters ALL LOOK ALIKE! There's only a small handfull of models. At least change their hair color or add a mustache or something. It really broke the illusion for me. Otherwise, I felt like my character was in a movie. On the plus side, I thought there was a great selection of player characters to visually choose from. I would have like to have had the opportunity to customize haircolor or other features a little...just to make it even that more personal.
Sound: Great character voice overs. Loved the guy who did Bindo Jolee. And Malek was effectively creepy...very Darth Vaderish without being a rip-off. Of course the script was top rate. A+ on sound effects. Sand People and Wookie sounds brought me right back to the first Star Wars movie.
Suggestions: WHERE'S THE SEQUEL? How 'bout an expansion module that lets you continue play with the current character?
And don't put a cap on levels. Not being able to level up after 20 was highly disappointing. Other than that, I wish there had been just a little end play...just one more tiny string to tie up before it ended. As the evil Darth Reven, it would have been highly satisfying to use a little of that power I worked so hard to get. As the light side hero, it would have been nice to walk down the street with people fawning all over you, or using the new status in a final act.
On the visual side...enough with the clones already! As I mentioned in the visual write-up, it clashed with the beautiful images already created. You didn't even try to make them a little different from NPC to NPC. Change their clothes, hair color/length. It was hard to suspent belief in a universe populated by about five people.

Overall: If you are a fan of star wars or rpg's, this game is for you. The storyline for the game is better than that of the prequel trilogy.
Gameplay: The gameplay enhances on the style of normal rpgs to give a much more involved feeling. Rather than following a tight linear plotline, you are allowed to make decisions for yourself, and change the outcome of the game.
Graphics: Gameplay graphics are excellent. cinematic sequences were a little rought at times, but overall it looks really nice.
Sound: Decent sound effects. Nice voice acting for all the characters. The alien "dialog" gets a little repetative, the same tracks are used more than once for the alien speach.

Overall: Knights of the Old Republic takes you on a ride. Putting you in full control in 6 huge planets. This is done rarely in any game, But is even more rarely done right. This along with a solid story that has 2 very different ending, makes it the best game of 2003.
Gameplay: The game is a role-playing game first, and a Star Wars game second. Therefore the game uses turn-based game play. When you fight an enemy, and are picking attacks it still moves very quickly, in-fact if you don't pick an attack, the computer will. Free roaming levels are large and fun to explore.
Graphics: The game is the best in almost ever area. This is why it has gotten great reviews. However, when you look at the game and place its graphics besides some of the other games, its really only average. Not to say the graphics aren't good for video games. They are above average, bit, this is a Xbox title and you aspect it to be top notch in the visual area.
Sound: Every Star Wars game has amazing sound. The classical sound found in even the worst Star Wars games (Obi-Wan).
Suggestions: Bio-ware has done an amazing job with this game. But, the game had a few flaws. Firstly, the planets that were available were fairly boring. The Sith Planet was neat, and the Manaan was a nice level, but most were boring. The other problem were loading times! I had to load every 10 minutes! That was poor level design. The only other thing, that could be improved was Content Download! There is nothing!

Overall: i thought i was gonna love Star Wars: KOTOR since i loved preivious Star Wars games & the great reviews these games were getting. but i found this very boring just like Gladius who also got good reviews.
Gameplay: comon every time bfore u fight u gotta pick what ur gonna do through a list. what is this Pokemon Stadium. i like the gameplay of Jedi Knight 2 A LOT better. hell Obi Wan is evem better than this.
Graphics: the graphics are by far the best thing in here. XB & PC only make it look great.
Sound: the voice acting is the 2nd best thing.
Suggestions: RPG Star Wars is a horrible idea to me

Overall: 3 words... Best RPG ever. If you like RPG games, like me, then get this game! This game is awsome!
Gameplay: The gameplay was awsome! I loved how the game wasn't just a 1 path game like diablo you can choose stuff you say to change the whole game! The weapons were very cool to, but i really liked the attacking system. I recommend this game to everyone
Graphics: I wont lie, it wasn't that great. But when you got a game this good, you dont need the graphics to be that good
Sound: The sound was preety good, not like your really in the game or anything but like i said for the visual, if its this good it dont need to have the best sound
Suggestions: Only thing i ask is if you ever make a 2nd one, make it for Xbox live

Date reviewed: December 25, 2003.

Overall: Wow although this game starts off slow it comes back toblow your socks off. The only 2 problems are that it is only 20 or so hours long and that it has little replay ability
Gameplay: Super fun, this is great when it comes to the halarious comments you can make. It really kicks rumpus when in the battling. Also I found out you can ee er bastila. :)
Graphics: SOme really nice graphics. Better than most games on th consle. The only problem is you can go through things.
Sound: A little annoing but still pretty good. Its just that the blasters are just shooting over and over again, it wakes up the household if I don't mute it.
Suggestions: Make the sequel never ending.

Date reviewed: December 24, 2003.

Overall: This game is astonishing. I can't say the graphics are awesome cuz there are some glitches and some skips it seems. It's weird. But this game has an awesome plot and what could be cooler than making up all of ur own descisions. That gave this game so much more playability with two different endings. This game rules andt here are so many things u can do...u can even get involved in a romance which is a whole nothing story in itself. AWESOME!
Gameplay: Gameplay is picky for some people. If you like turn based RPG's like FFX for example...you'll love this. If you like dead on real time combat...you might not be fond of this. If you like both your gonna wish every game was like the way this was. Although it isnt like you move your saber when you hit a or something like that...the controls and commands are really quick and its really under the hood...and also this leaves room for a lot more strategy and combos sorta. It's really nice actually. The only time you'll notice its not real time is when u dont have a saber or a sword and ur using a gun...guns suck btw...thats theonly thing i disagree with..the guns totally suck and are pointless. But...other than that...i give this game a 5 for creativity introducing a new gameplya system...well...at least its new to me!
Graphics: Visuals are pretty good. They arent the best but they are far from bad. The only thing i disagree with here is an occasional freeze or a choppy screen...i have only gotten a freeze once out of at least 100 hours of gameplay..(ive tried to beat the game many many times (well i have beaten the game but i like doing it a lot =)

But yeah..the screen gets choppy during some cut scenes and maybe a few battles but nothing that really sticks out and really sux.
Sound: Sounds is pretty nice actually...its got some nice bells and whisltes...it brings you into the star warsy feel. Although..some of it feels like ur in some kind of arcade room playing some kind of old jet fighter game...bew bew bew!
Suggestions: Keep up the nice work...fix frame rate issues...make guns a lil more usefull..good luck on GOTY....im voting for ya!

Merry Christmas...

Date reviewed: December 21, 2003.

Overall: There are, I believe, three kinds of of RPGs, 1) menu driven, 2) action driven and 3) lots of reading. This title falls into the action category. This is quite fast paced for an RPG, yet set in the familiar and popular Star Wars universe, the action is very easy to get into.
Gameplay: Interesting characters, great gamplay control and elements, and a good amount of customization. Yet when compared with Morrowind, not as much customization in what you can create and what you can build your character(s) into is available. Yet many facets of play and progress are included which greatly ups replay value.
Graphics: Probably the best Star Wars game visually ever. Lightsabers, wookies, blasters, sheilds, speeders, planets, beaches, everything in this well created universe comes through in such an awe inspiring way that makes you want to see it all and more.
Sound: The game does well here as well. The authentic droid, combat, language, environemnt(space) and character interaction cutscenes doen great. While I usually cut a game down for repetitive soundtracks, the classic themes and new backgrounds ring through clearly and keep you motivated your gameplay.
Suggestions: Add more customization in character creation and perhaps take a hint from Morrowind and make more guilds, orders, etc. to join. Plus, being able to buy other forms of transportation and explore more planets (sorry alot to ask for I know), will up replay tenfold.

Date reviewed: December 18, 2003.

Overall: One huge Role-Playing game, the best RPG for Xbox, and the best Star Wars game in one, does it get any better?
Gameplay: I really didn't like the turn-based/real-time fighting, It was too unorganized for me. I like how you could run around in battle, but it wouldn't dodge an attack? The guns were cool, and the world is awesome. The environments were really well done.
Graphics: Not visual eye-candy but its not at the bottom of the barrel, it doesnt really meet Xbox standards, but hey it gets the job done.
Sound: I really loved the sounds, the voice-overs were phenomenal, the guns sounds, grunts. You name it, I think this had the best sounds from any game ever made.
Suggestions: Make the fighting straight Turn-based, or straight Real-Time. It just doesn't work together.

Overall: This game rocks, i was addicted, sat in front of the tv for 2 DAYS STRAIGHT, only things i did were use the bathroom and eat, i was very addicted, didnt buy, cause no online play, only bad thing about this.
Gameplay: Gameplay is awesome, while i might have wanted to test real time fighting, i think that overall it was great, THE BEST STORYLINE IVE EVER HAD IN A VIDEO GAME!
Graphics: The graphics are descent, no really cool grapical cinematics, but it was still cool! I loved playing this game and i think that everyone should rent it.
Sound: The sound captured all the star wars soundsl, from a wookie(lmao) to the lightsabers. Although when the diff. races spoke, they just repeated themselves, that was kind of a turn off.
Suggestions: Great job, next time, put online play on, and actually make DLC, u have false advertising :(
