Comments for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
:

"The greatest Star Wars game ever made. Excellent story. Excellent gameplay. Almost flawless."

"my first ever RPG. And what a great one, the story, the gameplay, the characters - and the surprise, and what a surprise it was - did anyone actually see that coming?"

"Honestly, this is the best RPG I think I've ever played. It really got me into the role playing elements, and I greatly enjoyed a mix of strategic and real time battles. My only gripe is that I wish there was more. Not of the plot, but more areas to explore. Someone talks about Manann having a large shopping area that I should visit. Well, guess what? I want to go there! And why does the hotel on Manann only have four rooms? The weakness of the game was the lack of truly vast environments, which was a limit of the technology more than anything."

"The premiere Star Wars game of the modern generation. It's one of the finest RPGs I've ever played, with an amazing story and characters filled to the brim with depth, and it's all set in the Star Wars universe. I mean, that just spells awesome."

"The best Star Wars game to date, easily. While KOTORII arguably has the better gameplay, this was the original which brought us the awesomeness of Revan and, HK-47 and Canderous Ordo. Yes, we had Tatooine for the umpteenth time, but I loved all the quests on that planet. I thought the story was better than II as well. Most importantly of all, it felt like Star Wars!"

"Fantastic story, freedom to develop dark to light, good or bad. Seduce or kill Bastilla etc..."

"Fascinating characters, and an excellent script. Sure, the combat's a bit lackluster, but KOTOR's story surpasses its flaws."

Years ago, I did a video games tournament in community and Ocarina of Time won. I can't remember if KOTOR was even out at the time to be in it.
