How could a Star Wars RPG be anything less than stellar? Well if it's KotOR, perfection slips from its hands thanks to the crappy combat system. Perhaps folks who are particularly fond of turn-based fighting enjoyed it, but I had some difficulty in the beginning. I got used to it, but only chagrinedly so. Thankfully every other aspect of the game makes up for it. Everything from character creation to the light or dark side choices is enjoyable. Plus, once the lightsaber is in your hands, not even turn-based fighting can distract you from the awesomeness. The most solid aspect of this game? The storyline. Complete with a twist M. Night Shyamalan would be proud of. Once the momentum starts rolling on the story, it's hard to stop playing. I was so hard-core into this game the first time I played, I even took my XBOX to my parents' house so that I would not be interrupted by something as trivial as Thanksgiving. It was serious. Basically: buy it
