Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

As much as I dislike the ESRB, they were right on the money with this rating. The violence is completely bloodless, and the sexual references are so undetectable, I didn't even notice them. However, the themes and moral choices can be considered mature themes, so I would not suggest letting anyone under eleven play this. As for the game in and of itself, I loved it, but then, I like talky games. If your kids want action get 'em Halo. This one is for people who like dialog driven and extremely talky RPG's with some action elements.

This is a true classic, with its envolving story, fun game play, and great graphics (for its time, come on people this is an older game). This game has plenty of game play to go around, because on my last save it had 93 hours clocked in! You can play it through in as little a 20 hours, but I dont know of anyone who wanted to do that once they picked up the controler. There are a few enuendos, but nothing major. Over all this is a must own if you are even intrested in Star Wars. 5 out of 5

I have this game on Xbox and I love it! Let me explain my ratings: There are contradicting highlights and concerns like good role model/bad role model because you can choose to be good or evil, if you are a boy or girl and what you look like. -Violence The violence in this game is mild compared to some other Star Wars games. The combat is turn based but is blended so there are parries and deflections in lightsaber combat. There is no blood but enemies sometimes moan when they are killed. There are points in the game where you see corpses and skeletons and one dismembered arm. Players can use swords, lightsabers, blasters and explosives to fight. -Lovey-Dovey Stuff Ok, there is love in the game. But I don't find love bad. There are also some suggestive themes in the game. These themes are why the game is cited for this category. The female (and male) characters in your party can be equipped with tight fitting clothes (jumpsuits for guys, swimsuits for girls). There are dancing female Twi'lek slaves with semi-revealing clothing on in some cantinas. I also hear that there is a kissing scence but it requires that you pursue love intrests and I have not come across it. Two of the people in your party love you (if you are male it's a and b and if your female it's a and c) (forgive my use of algebra) which means one character will like you no matter what gender you are. You can tell a select character that you love them too. -Language Some characters say h*ll and d*mn. -Drugs There are things in the game called stimulants that can temporarily boost some of your stats. This could be percieved as drugs but their use is optional and truthfully I wouldn't have cited the game for it if I hadn't read the Common Sense Media reveiw. There is also a point where you meet drunken men on the street. -Choices Throughout the game there are decisions you can make that can send you down the light or dark paths. These conversations and subsequent actions could be imitated by kids. These choices are realistic because they invovle sacrifice, greed and other motives and consequences. You can fight evil or become it. - Educational Things There are various points in the game where you can (try to) solve logic and math problems. These can vary from identifyng number patterns to very hard logical problems. Overall this game is one of if not the best Star Wars games there are. It's story is great, the graphics are stunning and the music is wonderful. -Avatar Aang
