Playing through Episode One was like being stabbed in the heart with a million rusty pitchforks covered in honey. I laughed, I cried (multiple times), and I'm dying to see what comes of all of my terrible decisions.

10/10, would have my heart trampled on again

The first KOTOR is the reason I bought an Xbox. It was cheaper than a PC, and my roomate had gotten me hooked. It was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I'd had. Now that I'm back on a PC, I decided to pick up KOTOR 1 & 2 on a Steam sale. Boy, am I ever glad that I did.

This game, in particular, really caught the struggle of a Jedi trying to do what's right, despite the over-bearing Council and their antiquated view of having white vs. black ideals. It is a study in what it means to be Jedi or Sith, showing an overwhelming need for thinking more skewed towards the gray. It was once said that only Sith deal in absolutes, but this duo of games prove that is not the case. It is as much the harbingers of the Light as those of the Dark that are to blame for the state of things in the galaxy; the death, suffering, and loss included.

Each side seeks to eliminate the other to bring about balance. Absolutes of Light and Dark, by their very nature, forbid balance. Balance can only be achieved if both exist... or neither.

This story is worth your $10.

Mastered the Light Side and stopped the death of the Force, 11/10 will play ad nauseum.

Travel the galaxy killing Sith, helping innocents, and saving the Republic.... or spit in the face of the Jedi, laugh at their pitiful attempts to convert you to their 'wussy ways', and choke the life out of everyone you can. More than ten years after its release, KOTOR is still delivering with all the Force it had at its inception. With a varied cast of characters, a wide selection of weapons and armor, and endless customization for your Force User, the replay value is very high. There are plenty of side-quests to either delve into or ignore, and the Pazaak sidegame is a fun variation on real-life Blackjack.

All in all, this is one of the best Star Wars games out there, as long as you can get past the dated graphics (which are still damn good for their age) and the point-and-click battle system. The story is top-notch, the characters are interesting, and heck... who doesn't want to have Force Powers?

It was a 10/10 for me in 2003, and it holds that rating still.

Will play again and again, possibly until my hands fall off.
