Great Morality Based Game for Thirteen And Over
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.

Good game and can be used to teach good vs. evil themes
Very good game value with a positive good vs. evil message if properly coached. Some fighting, but no gore. Good strategy needs to be employed as well.

best rpg you will find (besides mass effect)
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

KotOR
KotOR is a great game that is a lot of. There are lightsaber battles and blaster battles but nothing to violent, while you can choose between light or dark side it is for fun if you are 13+ you should be able to handle it. If you are a parent and your child is under this age maybe you could just moniter it and see if you think your child is mature enough to play it. Sorry I accidently posted this reveiw on KotOR 2

Great Game!
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

Good for 14 and up, but iffy for 12 and up.
I really like the game, BUT, there are some very mature things in this game. There are things that eye's should not see. VERY FUN THOUGH!!!!

Fine for over 10, old star wars storyline
My fav game. Too many bars and buying rounds of drinks for people. Slight every now implied sexual encounters. Good role models in lead female Jedi. Positive messages in trusting your friends and allies.

Great, game, all the way.
One of the best games in the world. Nothing more than d*** and a message has nothing to do with sex. Highly recommend this game.

good game
This is certainly an incredible game. While there is little to be truly worried about (the violence and occasional 'damns' and 'hells'), the 'path to the dark side' dialogue and action options could be found imitatable by younger children. If the child is young or immature, be careful - they may imitate some in-game material with friends. Also, be aware that there is a vast and plentiful modding community for this game - while many of the mods are harmless, some of the less mature internet-goers may offer more skin-tight or revealing outfits for female characters, and some less savory sites offer 'nudity' mods. Keep track of the mods a child downloads, if they do such things.

A wonderful simulation of the Star Wars universe!
This game, well, where can I start? This game offers up to "90 hours of play!" (source: the box.) The box isn't lying. Aside from the slow first hour and a half, the 90 hours just flash by, and before you know it, it's over. KOTOR offers intellegent puzzles which actually reflect your personality depending on your answer. Here is an example: "You are the king of a city that is about to be attacked. The citizens don't know this, and they are questioing your ruling ability. Do you let the attackers come to teach your people a lesson, or do you muster them up to stand up to the attack?" The only negative aspect is the often sloppy graphics, which are sometimes good. In conclusion: If you love games with a balance of action and thinking puzzles, YOU WILL HAVE FUN!

Moral and ethical dilemas, excellent game play, and a wonderful story.
This game is one of the best action RPGs of its generation. It is, without much debate, the best Star Wars game produced. I won't get into a review here as you can easily get those details from IGN. However, it is very important to stress that the innovation the game presented was to have the story changed based upon the moral choices the player makes in game. Anyone that knows Star Wars knows the force has a light side and a dark side. This game allows your character to choose what side of the force you wish to represent. The choice isn't one big decision, but, like in life, decided by all the little actions and decisions you make along the way. The opportunity for a parent to do some moral and ethical coaching over the course of the game is enormous. Quite simply the question shouldn't be whether or not to let your child play this if they wish, but if they should play it, how can you involve yourself in their experience. In many ways, it is an antithesis to Grand Theft Auto. In this game, good moral decisions come at a cost (typically material) while poor moral choices are broadly illustrated as wicked and self-serving. Unlike other games, you cannot hide from your malicious decisions.

A classic RPG
Players can create their own character, and explore the worlds of the Old Republic. Having different choices and conversation options, leading towards the Light or Dark side. You recruit companions to help you with your quests. There is romance, but all it really leads to is an off screen kiss. For the most part, the Light side is very tame, but some of the Dark Side options are pretty brutal.
