Star Wars: KotOR PC Reviews

Another pair of glowing reviews for the PC version of LucasArts and BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic have surfaced. The first is at RPGFan with an overall score of 95%:

And, on the subject of items, I found that both weapons and armor became completely useless rather quickly. It is advantageous for Jedis to avoid armor as they reduce certain Jedi bonuses, and since the best party usually consists of three Jedis, I found it unnecessary to even consider armor. In addition, since all Jedis will use lightsabers, other melee weapons became unnecessary. And finally, in my experience, I discovered that ranged weapons simply were not as effective as melee weapons, and as such found very little use for the ranged fighters. While they did, at times, have their uses, such as in cramped hallways where it is extremely difficult to crowd three characters around an enemy, fighting for the most part occurs in open areas making this point moot.

And the second can be found at Game Rankings with an overall score of 94%:

KOTOR is a beautiful game that should appeal to all kinds of players even those that cringe at the letters R-P-G. There’s plenty of action in the game and all the side games such as the card games add to the fun and give you a breather from talking to the other characters in game. I can’t speak enough about KOTOR. If you have a PC and have even the slightest interest in the Star Wars universe, you need to pick this one up.
