Star Wars: KotOR PC Reviews

A pair of glowing reviews for the PC version of LucasArts and BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic surfaced today. The first is at GameSpot with an overall score of 8.8/10:

Assuming the bugs don’t deter you, it’s apparent from playing Knights of the Old Republic that a remarkable amount of effort, work, and talent went into this game. It’s one of the only Star Wars games that truly makes you feel, at times, as though you’re a key player in and a part of this unique and beloved sci-fi setting. You’ll get to do all the sorts of stuff that you’ve seen and enjoyed in the Star Wars movies, and you’ll get to emulate any of your favorite characters’ personalities and actions over the course of the game. You’ll also experience a much more morally complex version of Star Wars than what you get from the movies. Along the way, you’ll find a few aspects of the game that you’ll wish were better, but that’s mostly because the vast majority of Knights of the Old Republic is so exceptionally good. You don’t need to be a fan of Star Wars or of RPGs to appreciate all the impressive qualities of this game–but if you are, all the better.

And the second is at GameZone Online with a 9.5/10:

Knights of the Old Republic was fantastic on the Xbox, but oftentimes being great on consoles does not automatically mean being great on the PC. However, Knights not only manages to work on the PC, it offers some pretty fundamental improvements over the Xbox version and stands as one of the best PC RPGs out there. A must-have for Star Wars or PC RPG fans.
