Knights of the Old Republic

Has anyone else here blown the better part of several days on this highly addicting game? I finally broke down and got a game console so I could clear out my computer, and KOTOR was the prime reason I settled on the XBox.

I can see why this game has won so many awards from so many varied sources. It's everything you like about RPG-style gaming set in the Star Wars universe. Those familiar with D&D type rules and combat can slip right into it, and it's not that hard for newcomers to RPGs.

I like the fact that you can change crystals in the lightsabers to change thier color. It comes in handy if all three members of your party are Jedi and the combat starts. Easier to keep track of who's who.

The extreme depth of this game is engrossing. I'm only on my third world (having tackled Taris, the trials on Dantooine to become a Jedi, and Kashyyyk) and I feel like I've watched three new Star Wars films. Sitting there (with a fairly decent high going) and having an ethics debate with a Holocron was truly enthralling. I've never seen anything so deep in a video game.

I was wondering if there were any other fans of this splendid game here.

Shush you.... I'm trying to ignore that particular title for fear of loosing what little free time I have left...

*Waves hand at self*

This isn't the game you're looking for!

warning:

This game is a drug. It also uses the Force, through your monitor, to control you and keep you playing...

I bought this game a few days ago and have finally managed to escape its evil clutches. Now I can get back to my somewhat normal life. I must tell you something, though, and it is extremely important- The....the..I.. what the?!.... AAHHHGG!!

KotOR II - The Sith Lords will be out early next year. It was previewed at the E3 Convention recently and got rave reviews. The very few glitches to the KotOR system have been fixed, like allowing you to change weapons on the fly with preset attack patterns. In addition, you will be able to tailor the start of the game to synch up with what you accomplished in the first game, for the feel of a true sequel.
