I just picked up this game yesterday and I am loving this game. I wanted to spend more time on it, but I had girlfriend issues.

The interface takes a little getting used to, but after you figure it out this game rocks. This is one of the first RPGs where I feel like I am in control. Even the way conversations go is under your control.

Pick it up

You lucky b*****d

I have to wait for the euro release as I don' t have an import Xbox

Oh well, guess I' ll stick to viewing footage in the meantime.

Sorry that you have to wait, but it is well worth it. The more and more that I get into the game the better it gets.

BioWare held to the Star Wars tradition, but made a totally fresh adventure.

Ooohhh! Sounds good.

I can' t wait to create my own troubled good / evil Jedi. Finally a Star Wars game where you decide what you want to do.

Anyway what' s the combat like, as I' ve heard it' s kinda turn-based rather than PSO style hack n' Slash?

It is definitely cool to stradle the line between the dark side and the light side of the Force. It makes you think about all of your reactions - whether you want to head to the dark side or the light side. I already see myself playing it a couple of times - once to max out light/ dark side and once in the middle.

The combat is very much like PSO. There are more attack options though. You learn feats throughout the course of the game that upgrade your ability to attack. I am trying to get my numbers up so that I can use the Darth Maul lightsaber

I have played through KOTOR 11 times and everytime I have enjoyed it. No game since Halo or Counter-Strike has had that much replay value in my life. It has the Star Wars universe and a great open-ended western RPG. So basically It gets an 8.5 for being a great western RPG and I add another 1 for it being Star Wars (9.5) and I add another .5 for future downloadable content. so 10 out of 10 in my book.

Absolutely one of the best games of the year.
