Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republic's forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Its your task to find out why.

The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn, but is instead a genuinely interesting adventure which gradually unravels your connection with these events. The game's planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of discovering the source of the Sith's sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or gambling) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back stories of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People.

Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Star Wars RPG game system. The player creates a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier, smuggler, scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian, consular, sentinel). Joining the player's character are other Jedi, warriors, thieves, droids, a wookiee, and even a Mandolorian. Combat is real-time turn-based, meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue orders or direct any character to use a certain Force power, ability, feat, or item.

Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass, clouds, and weather) bring the world to life. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies, the thrilling combat is pure Star Wars.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece of Star Wars gaming. The pacing, balance of action and dialogue, clever puzzles and quests, and loving attention to detail have set the bar very high for role-playing games in general and Star Wars games in particular. --Mike Fehlauer

- Brlliant game
This game is Star wars esentially, an absoutle gem of a game it is too, you can completely customize your character to the way you like (is limited to certain avatar appearances) and throughout the game you will be able to do what all jedi do, to use the lightsabre and the force to your means. Also if you play as a man you can try charm Bastula and if your a woman you can try charm Carth Onasi.

In one word i would describe this game: WOW.
A must buy if you are a true star wars fan.

- Set for stunned!
I got this agme last month after having blown all my wages on a skiing holiday. It kept me indoors for a period of time long enough to pass the days before pay day. The graphics are amazing, the turn based combat is actually more fun than I expected and the characters are quite indepth. I personally like to wind Carth up a great deal, but in a way that doesn't gain darkside points. The story is quite convincing and the twist futher on in the game is top notch. The alien worlds are nice just explore and the musical changes when you start a fight is so well done.

I would say this game is great although I am about 4 years behind and need to stay indoors this month as I will blow my wages again.

- One word.... 'Great'
Years ago I heard of this game - sadly a lack of money and a poor PC meant I could not try this before now.

This well deserves the game of the year title. The story is fantastic as is the skills, attributes and charater interplay. The games is completely playable and there is plenty of scope to branch out in the side plots: with jobs for hunters, elite assassins, racers and gamblers.

Despite the game's age it is still very very playable.

A classic.

- An enjoyable RPG even if you are not a Star wars fan
Having never been a big Star Wars fan I was somewhat skeptical about giving this game a go, but as I had enjoyed a number of other RPGs and this had rave reviews, I eventually thought I would give it a try. And I was not disappointed. This is a great game with a story which puts the Star Wars films themselves to shame. It is true that despite it being set thousands of years before the events of the films, the technology etc looks remarkably similar, but, as far as I am concerned, so what - this is still a highly enjoyable game to play. I was so impressed I even went out and bought the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD (though I still remain less than impressed with them).

Some of the reviews here seem to be about the sequel ... Read More:
