This game is getting Xbox Game of the Year by just about everybody. Best Star Wars game ever?

totally

I kinda thought it sucked. I normally love these types of games but it took me 3+ hours to get off the first planet

KOTOR is flawless. It is the first game that i have ever played to make me not sleep for days.
I literally had to fight with myself to go to sleep.
The game gave me severe headaches because of this.
I beat it in 33 hours which is the fastest time posted and i dont know how many times i left for bathroom breaks while leaving the game on.
Its TOO good. If anybody second guesses purchasing this game they are nuts.
I love unique games and this game is just that.

Spiritseed i actually am just like you. i am impatient for RPG's. I hate doing B/S battles to level up a character. But in this game it's mission objectives that give exp.
I love this.
It does take forever to get off the planets but for me it didnt matter. The story line sucked me in. especially since you choose what to say.
this is their little way of keeping you active during boring speeches.
But it also makes you feel a part of it too.
when i finally reached the last stage, I was actually pumped up when i fought all the dark jedi.
maybe im a little to excited about this game, but it sure deserves it.

It's certainly a tough game. And I thought it was a little glitchy for the xbox, at least the first run versions. Still, once you get past those 2 things it is a good rpg and an even better Star Wars game. Personally, I thought the game had the best storyline of any Star Wars game out there, maybe even better than the last couple movies.

I actually purchased this game the day it came out, and I never really had too much trouble with bugs and such. It was an extremely fun game, especially when you had lightsabers and fancy force chokes and such... I beat it in a little under 26 hours.

I would agree that this was probably the best game for XBOX to come out this year. It was well-balanced, had great graphics, and a lot of options for customizing your party (9 different characters, 1-3 at a time, different weapons, and mods...). All in all, a great game.

How is the fighting system is it turn based or is it like an action adventure zelda rpg.....can u help me with this i want to know cuz i want to play this game so if anyone can give more detail on this it would help thx a lot

It's turned based fighting so it's like you hit then they hit then you hit. This is one of the reasons I didn't like it.

Its kindof a prototype between turn-based and active.
it's literally active/turn-based.
you can keep it active if you like but i prefer to run in pause set up a combo ( each character gets to line up 4 moves) with each character and watch me anhialate everyone. and if it gets close, pause again use some items. It's pretty unique. I agree that i didn't like it at first. It wasn't til i ended up on like the 3rd planet that i realized how useful it was. the game pits you against what seems to be ompossible odds. I won't list them cuz i dont wanna ruin it.

This comment? Straight dumb. what kind of sense does that make? "It took me 3+ hours to get off the first planet." That's not even logical. you didn't like it because it had a lot of content? hello?

not having an xbox I was considering going more in the hole to get this but then they released if for the PC and I ran out and got it, and proceded to play almost non-stop until I beat it, it is a great game and I highly recommend it to anyone with either a pc or xbox

i beat it on the darkside on the xbox, and recently picked up the pc version to beat the lightside. Overall its one of the best star wars game of all time and ranks up there with my top 10 of all time. Pick up this game today for xbox or pc if you haven't already.

Its easily the finest Star Wars game to date. Coming off of SWG, this is what the franchise needed to show gamers ''yeah, we still know how to make them good''.

Excluding the bugs and the lack of promised content, it was an amazing title. I feared the game would play too heavy on the Jedi role, but being you're not a Jedi for about the first 1/4 of the game...it was no problem.

And while its still Extended Universe, thus can not stand alone next to the movies when discussing elements of the PT, OT, and other possible sequels, it did add a nice touch to flesh out the Sand People's background, etc.

Bravo Bioware.

gets my vote for exclusive xbox game of the year. save often and enjoy.

Easily the best Star Wars game out there. The PC version has sucked me in like nothing else. BG2, NVN, etc. are all fine and great but they don't have the pace of this baby. The fights feel fun, not like a chore. Your either badass enough to totally rip through everyone and feel sweet about it or finally take down that boss after 5 trys and feel equally pleased. The story is so great (I'm not going to spoil anything, those who've played it know what I'm talking about) and theres so much extra stuff I've never seen in a movie or book (and I've read quite a few of them). Ported wise, this game is perfect. It feels like it was made for the PC and just feels natural. While it is a bit short (so far I've only got one or two more places to visit and I have about 11 hours on it), it doesn't have any filler. Not quite sure what that guy above was saying taking 3 hours to get off of the first planet (Tarius I assume?), it only took me about :30-2 hours to get off of it with most quests done.

Pick it up!

THIS GAME BITES THE BIG ONE MAJORLY!!!!!!!
I recently borrowed this piece of crap that some people call a good game from my neighbour and was very dissapointed at how crappy and annoying it was. Everytime you go into a battle it asks you questions about proceeding and which weapon to use and shit, this sucks donkey nuts. An action game shouldn't have this because it slows down the main point of the game (which is action).

I myself liked the Jedi Knight one MUCH better.

I borrowed KOTOR for PC from my friend and I have even installed it yet. I'm not really a Star Wars nut or whatever they call themselves these days but I can't really get myself excited about it. I know its made by the same people that made Baldur's Gate which I like but the Star Wars aspect is sort of a turn off.

Umm, who told you it was supposed to be an action game?

Maybe it has that because its a RPG and NOT an action game. Yes, tjere is a alot of action and fights in the game, but no where on the box or in reviews have I ever seen someone call this an action game. I wouldn't even say the main point is action, I'd say the point of the game lies more in story and character interaction. It's everyone's own opinion to like or dislike RPGs (I'm not even a big fan of them all myself), but I think it's unfair to call a game awful and give it such bad marks just because you don't like the genre it's in.
