Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republic's forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Only the Force powers of the Jedi Bastila prevented the Sith from overwhelming the Republic's weakened forces. At the start of the game Malak has usurped control of the Sith by betraying Revan and has attacked the ship carrying Bastila and yourself. In true Star Wars style, the game begins with a bang. The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn but is instead a genuinely interesting adventure told with humor, compassion, and respect for the source material. Your character has a mystical bond with Bastila, and the two of you share some kind of connection to the Sith villains Darth Malak and Darth Revan. The game's planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of discovering the source of the Sith's sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or gambling) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back stories of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People. Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Star Wars RPG game system--anyone who has played Dungeons & Dragons will be familiar with the abilities, stats, feats, and bonuses in this game. The player creates a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier, smuggler, scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian, consular, sentinel). Joining the player's character are other Jedi, warriors, thieves, droids, a wookiee, and even a Mandolorian. Unlike the faceless non-player characters of other games, each member of the supporting cast has an intriguing history and even agenda. Up to two of these other characters can join your character at any time. Depending on who you chose to take with you, new dialogue and even intra-party arguments come into the game (put the Mandalorian veteran with the Republic patriot and you'll see sparks fly). Combat is real-time turn-based, meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue orders or direct any character to use a certain Force power, ability, feat, or item. Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Building and character models are not impressive--about what you get in GTA 3. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass, clouds, and weather) bring the world to life. Battles are just brilliant, with characters pumping out blaster fire at Jedi who dash, dodge, and even deflect the bolts back toward their assailants. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies, the thrilling combat is pure Star Wars. All in all, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece of Star Wars gaming. The pacing, balance of action and dialogue, clever puzzles and quests, and loving attention to detail have set the bar very high for role-playing games in general and Star Wars games in particular. Consider this a must-have game.--Mike Fehlauer Pros:
Cronique Amazon.fr: À tous ceux qui pensent (à raison dans une certaine mesure) que tous les jeux issus de la licence de Star Wars se ressemblent (des FPS essentiellement), les studios LucasArts vont tenter de prouver le contraire.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic est en effet un jeu de rôle (RPG) dans la plus pure tradition dont le développement a été confié à BioWare (Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate…). Le fait que le jeu se retrouve sur console n'enlève rien aux possibilités de personnalisation et d'évolution de votre héros à qui vont être confiées différentes quêtes, au sein d'un univers toujours aussi envoûtant, celui de Star Wars. C'est la première fois qu'un jeu de ce type est adapté sur console et, ce qui ne gâche rien, entièrement en 3D. Il a fallu adapter les commandes et les modes d'affrontement (en temps réel) au pad de type console, une réussite. Le design graphique est également splendide et si vous appréciez les lueurs des sabres laser, vous allez vraiment vous faire plaisir… --Arnold Vincent Customer Reviews

Rating:  - So fun and so addicting I just got this game yesterday and have played for tons of time. Also if you like star wars BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!! Rating: - This Game is Sooo AddictingI seriously couldn't stop playing this game when i got it. I played all the way through until i won. It's soo good. I thought the fighting was sweet, and the story line was pretty cool (the ending has a crazy twist). I also thought it was awesome how you could flirt and become lovers with another character in the game. If you're a male character, you can hit on Bastilla, if you're a female, you can hit on Carth Onasi. I thought the talking was really well thought out, really good conversations. You have lots of choices on how to answer, and everything you do affects your game. The graphics are nice, and the gameplay is good too. It did lag a bit while in battle sometimes, but that's alright, ...

The story line is really cool, and if you like the movies you wont be dissapointed. Rating: - A Game with Real PlotIf, as a gamer over the age of 25, you have been searching for a game that has plot, look no further. Yes, as many reviews have said, this game excels on many levels - graphics, combat, RPG elements, etc. However, the thing that really stands out is the in-depth storyline and the multiple paths you can take through it. I was not really a big fan of the recent Star Wars movies, as they destroyed the romance of my youthful experience in the first movies. KOTOR redeems the franchise, with no thanks to Lucas himself. Video-games are still experimenting with what is really possible in the medium. They are not movies, they are not books, they are not boardgames, and - yes - they are way more than 'arcade' games. The developers at Bioware ... Read More: Rating: - To be blunt, this game is simply phenomenal.Ah, the realm of Star Wars... Filled with so many good - and bad *cough hayden christensen cough* things. And to not name Knights of the Old Republic amongst the good should be punishable by law. To be blunt, this is game is simply phenomenal. As it should be in any good RPG, KotOR features an insanely good plotline. You'll begin your journey at one of three "professions." Soldier, Scout or Scoundrel - all either male or female. It's up to you as to whether you'd like to customize each aspect of your character or just have the computer create a quick one for you. You're stationed on a Republic Battle cruiser - the Endar Spire. From here, it's up to you to escape your doomed ship and make it off to Taris - the planet you're ... Read More: |
