It is four thousand years before the rise of the galactic empire and hundreds of Jedi knights have fallen in battle against the ruthless sith. You are the last hope of the Jedi order. Can you master the power of the force on your quest to save the republic? Or will you fall to the lure of the dark side? Hero or villain, savour or conquerer you alone will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy. A republic soldier, training to become a Jedi Knight, is given the task of halting the conquest of Darth Malak by discovering the location of a weapon known as the Star Forge. my goodness, no wonder it got so many game of the year awards. There are so many good things about it it would take hours to describe them and say them all.<br/><br/>Graphics will be regarded as poor, nowadays, but there are a lot of things that will stay for generations. And the graphics are actually good for 2003.<br/><br/>Story is certainly the best in a video game and would win best adapted screenplay Oscar if made into a movie no matter what other movies were nominated for that. This is one thing that keeps you through the game.<br/><br/>Gamplay is awesome. Though the main moments of the story always stay the same, you can choose your dialogue, determining whether you are falling closer to the dark side or not. It means you can always play through the story differently. And you may encounter people with problems. You can either choose to help them or not. And once you have, you can decide to let them keep the reward they give to you, or thank them for it or threaten them to give you more. And you can choose different faces for character. Though you cannot customise them there is a range of choices.<br/><br/>And the music is perfect for this game. Except for the opening titles this game has its own star wars music and it is totally successful. It fits in at the right times very well. Jeremy Soule, you ROCK!!<br/><br/>The voice-acting is very well done. It sounds so real, you see the characters as real people. Especially when you ask them about their background.<br/><br/>This is game for everyone. Whatever you own, PC or Xbox (I own this on PC), you should get this game for that game machine. No matter what types of games you like, you will adore this one. This game has a mixture of flying game and other stuff, though you do not actually pilot the ship. And you can race and it is role-play too. The only thing I think is not part of it is strategy, but you won't care. So even when it is 2010, I insist you buy it! I played this on the PC, not the XBOX and I can honestly say this game is amazing. Its made by Bioware and works on a similar system to Neverwinter Nights but to be honest while i didnt like NWNs I love KOTOR. The story is extremely involving and it gives you an extrordinary amount of freedom.<br/><br/>Dark side or light I enjoyed every minute of it. As a hardcore gamer I can honestly state that this game ranks as one of the best games ever made. Challenging the greats like Half Life and Deus Ex.<br/><br/>As another reviewer stated the plot starts off very much like Episode 4, but it is so much more. If that dosnt pursuade you then how does the ability to make your own lightsaber sound?<br/><br/>Graphics: 8 - Nothing groundbreaking but certainly nice to look at Sound: 10 - Probably the best voice acting I have ever heard with great music and atmosphere to match Gameplay 10 - So much freedom, The Combat Plays out extremely well, your never left wondering what to do next (unlike NWNs), And the game length is phenominal, My first play through the game came to a total 75 Hours. More than double most other games on the market. Also it has high replayability due to the ability of playing dark and light side.<br/><br/>Overall - 10<br/><br/>You must play this game!
