Closing Comments

Knights of the Old Republic is an outstanding game because it covers every single angle in terms of audience expectations. It's got enough Star Wars to satisfy the fans and enough pure fun to draw in people who normally wouldn't get into role-playing games. You'll see this on several Game of the Year nomination lists if not at the very top soon enough.

Put this up there with Halo, Splinter Cell and any other Xbox game that kept you up way too late or caused you to neglect your loved ones. It grabs you early on by giving your character some cool toys to play with and some familiar Star Wars critters to welcome you back and next thing you know you've got a space ship, a light saber, a wookie and a droid. With Knights of the Old Republic, the galaxy is yours, get out there and get some.

Final Score: 9.5

Sure, it's get 9.5....just because Bioware is behind this one.

Very good review indeed. Although no one here wants to admit it, everyone is hanging on to what Gamespot gives it.

[Papke]

I agree AlBoogy. I know I am...

Stupid Gamespot.

Yep, but the review of that game said he really really likes it so far.

[Papke]

Is that review enough to make you buy a game without playing it first?

I'm seriously considering going out and getting it asap.

I dont think IGN'S review will make many people buy a game. Many feel they have overrated way to many games. Although, I usually agree with their stuff some slip through like WWF Raw and Wreckless. I liked those 2 but I dont think they deserved anything near a 9.
Gamespot reviews games roughly. So you know if a game gets a 9.0 or higher then it must be amazing. I think their will be a lot of dissapointed people if they dont give it a 9.0 or above.

I agree completely with you about gamespot, I've always felt the same way.

Usually, it just feels like they hate xbox. They gave some of my favorite games 6's and 7's. Most of the time tho, you can look at reader reviews and it will be at least 1 whole point better than the GS review. I'd rather hear what gamers have to say than those payed to write about games.

True, but alot of those are screwed up by people who write reviews like
"I hate Xbox and I hate Star Wars, so I bet this game sucks. 0/10"

"Or OMG, I LOVE THIS GAME, IT ROXORS!!!! BETTER THAN HALO!!!! I GIVE PULSE RACER A BIG 10/10!!!!!!"

[Papke]

lol yeah, but overall.....

Yeah, fanboys can make those scores extremely exaggerated.

I could care less about what Gamespot says about it. I have been looking at this for a long time and saw the 21 minute video that's on the net somewhere and think it's going to rock. Of course, I will rent it first.

Perhaps this game could break the trend of lame ass Star Wars games. Never have I played one I liked...so, we'll see. I say screw IGN and Gamespot...I'll know for myself.

Shizzle my nizzle.

[Papke]

Many a lame ass star wars game has been released, but I really like Shadows of the Empire for n64. That's a really good game, not just a really good star wars game.

[CharlieHustle]

I dont know about yall, but i am gettin this game regardless of whateva site rate this, i will judge this for myself. I have been waitin for a good rpg since morrowind and i believe this is the one. So i know yall isnt goin to sit on the fence and wait for someone else to tell you to get this game. And hell, im not even a star wars fan i personally think starwars are for nerds.

From what I was told...

Gamespot gave it an 8.9

Ehh, sorry for my post. I just found out it was an asumption. Sorry :/.

But it should be interesting what gamespot is going to give them.

[MerimacHamwich]

Wow, Gamespot really knows how to get hits. Be really biased and then poeple will go to your site just to see how biased you are.

Interesting concept.
