What players say
This is, and always will be, one of my favorite games. I've owned and played countless hours on every platform I can, PC, Phone, xbox, 360, xbox 1, etc. It never gets old. It is an absolute classic, and if you like Star Wars you need to have this game. Even if you don't like Star Wars, you should still get this game. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are the GOAT's of Star Wars games.
1 more review
The immersion is almost unbroken throughout the playthrough. Only some of the parts of Taris feel meandering. The setting and the story are what Star Wars was in the mind of the West End Games D6 player circa 1997. Truly a special game, exceeded by precious few story-telling experiences in media.
