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!

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.

After seeing the zero star for Resident Evil and the three star review for this game, I wonder if this place reviews not on technical merit but more on the messages a medium sends. But even without messages, this game is one of the most awesome RPGs ever created.
