Star Wars: KotOR Review

Game Chronicles Magazine has tossed up a glowing review of Star Wars: KotOR, giving the RPG an overall score of 9.8/10. Check it out:

Even if Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic wasn’t built around the legendary Star Wars universe it would still be an amazing game. What was a great achievement on the Xbox is now an almost-perfect RPG experience on the PC. The bugs have been fixed and those painfully long load times are history. The gameplay is fresh and exciting and the interface is flawless. The story has been meticulously crafted and interwoven with intriguing side quests that you are free to complete or ignore.

And there lies KOTOR’s most valuable feature, total freedom, freedom to go where you want to go, do what you want to do, and let the adventure unfold at your own pace. This is what RPG gaming has always been about and thanks to BioWare we can hopefully see a paradigm shift in the way future RPG games are created. For now, anyone who enjoys RPG gaming owes it to themselves to make KOTOR a permanent addition to their software library.
