Customer Reviews

Fun the first time
Great playability the first time through, but it gets monotonous and boring after that. You can't really become much of a sith in this game, for that try Kotor 2, but even then its lacking.

Tremendous
Basically, it boils down to this:
-Pro-
Tremendous story taking you to numerous planets, with a good twist towards the end.
-Con-
Repetitive and simple gameplay that you will either not mind at all or hate with a passion.

If you are not much of a Star Wars fan, this might bore you to tears. I really like the lore of the game, and how it plays out. I definitely would recommend this game.

One of my favorite RPGs ever.....meatbags!
This game is amazing, plain and simple. Why are yo reading this review when you could go out and buy the game right now? Ah so you want to know the reasoning behind the perfect 10 rating before you buy. Well first things first. People say the graphics are lackluster. I personally think they are fine for RPG graphics and are good enough to help make the game feel immersive. The sound is spot on, the effects match what's going on and the music is fitting for a Star Wars game. I am absolutely in love with the combat system, its my favorite non turn based system ever. It makes you feel like every second of the battle matters, which in some cases it does. The customization is fantastic, you can customize your character's looks, stats, force powers, and more. You can even customize your weapons and armor with a system later stolen by Blizzard for World of Warcraft, you may recognize it as the gem sockets in The Burning Crusade. Your character progresses along the dark or light storyline depending on the decisions you make, this contributes to replayability and just overall more fun. The missions are varied and atmospheric , not to mention they make you feel like you're actually accomplishing something. There are some great plot twists along the way as well, and the characters you have in your party are fantastic. My favorite is the robot bounty hunter who calls organic beings meat bags, not to mention he's just a bad a$$ in general. Go out and get this game, you will not be sorry in the least, well unless you don't have an Xbox, but then why are you reading this?

Best game ever
This game is so much fun. The graphics are pretty good for an XBox game. The first time I played this the map was pretty confusing. One of the reasons that people don't like this game is because they have a hard time getting around using the map, but it doesn't take long to memorize the areas. This game has a great story line. Most good games have a good story line and this one has the best. some people dont like the way you fight but I think that locking onto a enemy and choosing your attacks is a good idea because ther are so many fighting moves. The force powers are really cool and you can upgrade them. you can go to the dark side or light side if you decide to go to the dark side your face becomes messed up and pale. It dosnt matter if you like Star wars or not youll love this game.

one of the greatest of all time
If anyone out there that is reading this review is either a.) a Star Wars fan or b.) a rpg fan, and haven't played this game then pick it up immediately. It is by far the greatest rpg on the xbox console and one of the greatest for any console ever...not to mention it is the best starwars videogame of all time. That being said the game does show its age now that it has been a while. The graphics were never that great but the story is still superb. The Gameplay is also wonderful as it is based on the WoC pen and paper rpg. The levelling and the different paths are done wonderful. If you take the lightside then things are drastically different from the darkside especially at the endgame where certain characters are purged from your party...anyway pick it up and don't be disappointed. This one is far superior to its sequel (which is a great game in it's own right).
