    If you got through this game in 24 hours, the first time, you really flew through it. I finished in about 40-42 the first time. Playing all the quests I came across. Second time, without listening to much dialogue, more like 25. My favorite game from that system, hands down.

    I haven't gotten very far on this yet but do you need to be a specific class to get a lightsabre?

    For me, the best game I have played, yes it is that good, its one of the best games I have played. SHAME, KotOR 2 wasnt as good, but a bigger shame they are making a KotOR MMO(kinda) instead of KotOR 3!

    All I can say is that today, console gamers call Mass Effect an RPG, and of course, it's an action-adventure compared to RPG's of old,like this one!

    @AntsuH, Okay it may have taken you 24 hours but you must've skipped most of the side-missions and side-character storylines.

    This game is very similar to Mass Effect.

    This guy obviously doesn't know a lot about Star Wars. Everything in that game lines up with the Star Wars canon perfectly. Besides for the non-canon Dark Side ending.

    I love this game I really really hope that bioware will make a KOTOR 3 some day.

    is the combat in this like ffxii?(someone answer!!) it sounds as if it is. it sounds similiar. I hope its a lot deeper though because I want to play this game but want to be interested in the combat, not annoyed because your not doing anything apart from attacking and healing - because all your magic is either dwarfed by the attack power of your weapons - so its useless - or useless because it ALWAYS FLIPPIN MISSES!!!

    IGNIGNOKT1138, YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING,RIGHT?!!!! Mass Affect has 1/100th the roleplaying of KOTOR!!!! MAss Effect is mostly an action adventure, not an RPG of the quality of KOTOR 1 and 2!!!

  • IGNIGNOKT1138

    I was suprised how Mass Effect is alike this game.

    Hmm I don't remember any parts in the story not being plausible especially in the SW universe. Awesome review though, this game in my eyes is considered in the classic category for both the RPG category and the SW category.

    This game is excellent. I played this and KotOR2 on the PC and loved them. I recently picked these up for my xbox360 to wet my appetite as I feverishly wait for The Force Unleashed. Five days left, woot!

    Off-Topic: I don't care if I get the first comment, I like to comment what I'm commenting on.

    On-Topic: Gamespot sets Star Wars: KOTOR in a good spotlight. I might buy the game now.
