Default Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Reviews

IGN's Review:

Closing Comments
Knights of the Old Republic is an outstanding game because it covers every single angle in terms of audience expectations. It's got enough Star Wars to satisfy the fans and enough pure fun to draw in people who normally wouldn't get into role-playing games. You'll see this on several Game of the Year nomination lists if not at the very top soon enough.

Put this up there with Halo, Splinter Cell and any other Xbox game that kept you up way too late or caused you to neglect your loved ones. It grabs you early on by giving your character some cool toys to play with and some familiar Star Wars critters to welcome you back and next thing you know you've got a space ship, a light saber, a wookie and a droid. With Knights of the Old Republic, the galaxy is yours, get out there and get some.

10.0 Presentation
There's more real Star Warsedness in this game than in the last two movies combined. Great menu system has the best use of triggers we've seen in a while.

9.0 Graphics
A hiccup or two here or there, but for the most part, this is one of the prettiest Star Wars games on any system in any genre.

10.0 Sound
The sound effects are given but the voice-acting was so amazing, we think the standard has just been raised.

9.0 Gameplay
It moves like an action game, plays like nothing you've played before and makes role--playing exciting again.

10.0 Lasting Appeal
This will probably be the deepest single player experience available on Xbox when all is said and done. Wait there's going to be downloadable content too?

OVERALL: 9.5
(out of 10 / not an average)
More to come as they are posted.

This is probably a dumb question, but is it online? Not just download new things to do, but full online. Maybe my friend will get the game because its Star Wars and its an RPG.

Jonbo, it has downloadable content.

And I must say... this game does sound pretty sweet. With KoToR, Fable, BC, Halo 2, and a bunch of others, looks like I'll have to pick up an Xbox when I get the cash.

Yeah, it only has downloadable content. If you want an online Star Wars game go look at Galaxies.

And I must say, the Xbox is starting to get a lot of quality RPGs.

9.5!

HOLY SCHNIKES!

I was predicting 9.2 from IGN and I never thought it would hit that.
