BioWare delivers the best RPG for Xbox to date and a contender for Xbox game of the year. Read Review
The role-playing game from veteran developers Bioware is set in an ancient version of the Star Wars universe, when both Jedi and Sith number in the thousands. It is four thousand years before the Galactic Empire and hundreds of Jedi Knights have fallen in battle against the ruthless Sith. As the last hope of the Jedi, you must lead a band of freedom fighters in an epic struggle to save the galaxy. Can you master the awesome 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, savior or conqueror you must choose wisely as you alone will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy.
Players train as a Jedi Knight and choose which path of The Force they want to follow: the honorable Light Side or the passionate Dark Side. The hybrid combat system combines turn-based and action elements into a totally new style of gameplay: slow enough to let players soak up the details of the story, but never bogged down by fruitless quests or collection tasks.
Xbox owners have been starving for a great role-playing game (RPG). Star Wars fans have been dying for a brilliant Star Wars game. And a deviant subsection of the two groups has been aching for a game that features a nubile Twi'lek teen. Renowned RPG developer BioWare has delivered a title that will satisfy all three. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KoTOR) is clearly the best RPG for Xbox, certainly one of the best games released in 2003, and definitely one of the best Star Wars games LucasArts has ever released. It also stars the most adorable Twi'lek I've ever laid eyes on. KoTOR is a magnificent m¿lange of story, gameplay, and acting that takes many fascinating elements of the Star Wars universe and combines them with BioWare's penchant for first-rate interactive storytelling.

Long, long ago (a couple of years) in a galaxy far, far away (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), BioWare and LucasArts teamed up to create a Star Wars role-playing game (RPG) for the Xbox. Many pundits, including me, felt that there was no way that this game could be anything but great. You have one of the most prolific RPG creators in the business crafting an interactive adventure set in one of the most universally adored worlds. The game is almost finished and I've been playing a nearly complete build of it. What I've played so far is great and actually far greater than I thought it would be. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) will satisfy Star Wars fans, BioWare fans, and any gamers looking for a quality RPG. Read More »
