Peak Star Wars. Man, this game was so good. I’m gonna dig this out and replay soon

Same greatness as in PC version. One of the best games and surely the best game about star wars. Value to play the game again since your choices alter the story and ending. Nothing negative about the Switch version.

A pizza, a fridge full of sodas, a controller and a free weekend had me hooked on this Star Wars roleplaying chapter of a whole new era in Lucas' universe! Absolutely loved every chapter of the story. The intrigue and plot development kept me hooked right up to the end! Even 20+ years later this is still a great game and I can't for the life of me understand why this hasn't had at least 1 remake to bring it up to a current gen console!

Fantastic story put in a fantastic universe, somehow feeling more fleshed out and reasonable than the originators attempts

Story's a bit bland when you know what's coming during that part, but it does everything well. It's not a game that offers that best in any aspect, but it is the top 3 when it comes to everything that matters.

a very good RPG that I grew up with and it’s a very nice treat for someone who likes starwars and rpg games. It’snot graphically pleasant nowadays but the story and gameplay hook you in and it’s good

Very beautifully written story. We see a new side of the Star Wars universe from a completely new timeline. Characters and villains are well written and have depth. The only problem of the game is the gameplay, if you’re not one of those gamers who can sit and play a turn based style game then it may turn you off from the game all together

gameplay and graphics are a bit dated but easily the best star wars story ever created even better then any of the movies

One of my top 10 games all time. This was the beginning of peak BioWare. The decision making and the companion’s led the way for many of the of the great RPG’s of today.

Excellent storytelling and choice-driven gameplay. Dated mechanics can be a barrier to new players.

Absolutely amazing game. The game got me into old school rpg games, hands down one of the greatest rpgs ever made. Over the years I've beaten it so many times.

Should be experienced at least once by anyone who enjoys a real role-playing experience and a well-realized universe and characters. Janky, confusing gameplay design. Fantastic atmosphere, fun characters, great art direction, and a compelling story, along with some meaningful role-playing choices that require multiple playthroughs to experience (along with all the possible companion reactions to events and player choices). Unfortunately, the gameplay requires that you have a deep understanding of DnD mechanics, and it doesn't properly convey how things work, and allows you to create completely unworkable character builds. The combat is also awkward, with terrible player team AI that will have you fighting it until you figure out how it actually works. Again, this is not conveyed properly. But the music, visuals, voice acting, atmosphere, and story are all something that has yet to be topped. This first KotOR is the relatively light-hearted sibling of its completely (technically) broken sequel, which goes full dark mood and deconstructs Star Wars lore and morality. This one just lets you have fun and roleplay.

This is a highly overrated game that hasn’t aged well yet I feel has nostalgia for some people who played the game 20 years ago. Having played the original back in 2004 I quickly lost interest due to the slo gameplay, long dialogue and confusing maps. Having played again more recently this only confirmed my original feelings about the game as I lost interest again.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

A game that I will never forget, I’ve spent countless hours, replaying as light side, dark side, or neutral. I played a total of eight play throughs because I was hooked from the beginning!

Beaten in 2025 and it's still the best Star Wars video game on the market (yes Outlaws, unfortunately) and probably the best Star Wars story told since original Lucas's Trilogy. Pls, please do yourself a favour and don't read anything about it, it's easy to bump into spoilers. For ex. while early in the game I read just a few excerpts of Wookieepedia article on some absolutely insignificant NPC character you meet in a bar and unexpectedly got a big spoiler, yikes.

Better than any of the Star Wars movies or shows, and required playing for any gamer, even if they hate Star Wars.

KotoR is one of the best Bioware products ever created. Star Wars lends its universe well to the RPG format, with a highly engaging story and incredible gameplay.

A clunky masterpiece that delivers everything Star Wars should. Oh, and, Revan.

Very good game overall. It still holds up incredible well in 2024. But where is the remake they promised?

The single best Star wars game ever created, and one of the best games of all time. The story is a masterclass in storytelling which rivals "The Empire Strikes Back". Its a must play for any star wars fan.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I’ve tried playing this game 3 times now on three different platforms and I just can’t do it. I’m a big Star Wars fan and that’s not even enough to keep me interested. It’s so slow and uninteresting I have no idea why people took the time to beat it, even back in the day. The combat is so simple and tedious even for an RPG. The characters are flat and typical. The choice system is all right but not as good as a Lot of other games. The only reason to play this game in 2024 is if you’re replaying it. But there is no reason to get into it now when games like Jedi: Survivor exist.

Perfect Star Wars game. The story was mindblowing and it was great embracing the dark side.

So perfect! This game only needs a remaster not a remake, but whatever I just hope they respect the essence of this game: the D&D gameplay.

One of the best Star Wars games ever made. Tons of great stories and characters throughout. Lots of different styles of combat you can try out and builds to explore. Well worth playing through multiple times to experience both the good and evil paths. (Originally played on Xbox, replayed on PC)

This is trully must play game so why are you still here? Go and give it a try

My personal favorite Star Wars game of all time. The voice acting and dialogue trees are top notch. I wish they would release this on newer consoles. Specifically, the PS5.

The best Star Wars game thatever existed till this day. Interesting story and characters, beautiful planets and just peak BioWare.

It is a good old game which can be modded to look good for todays standards. Although it is not the masterpiece als it is often praised in my opinion - still it sparked some kind of star wars interest in me to continue with other games from the series which is not a small thing by any means for me.

Awesome game masterpiece from BioWare a long experience if you are looking for everything the game has to offer

Easily my favorite. The music - the characters - the story; everything lines up.

Released in 2003, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) on the Xbox captured the hearts of Star Wars fans and RPG enthusiasts alike. Developed by BioWare, this iconic title took players on an epic journey through a galaxy far, far away, delivering an unforgettable gaming experience. One of the defining aspects of KOTOR on the Xbox is its immersive storytelling. Set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films, the game delves into the conflict between Jedi and Sith, offering players a chance to shape their destiny. The narrative is rich and compelling, filled with memorable characters, surprising plot twists, and moral dilemmas that keep you engaged from start to finish. The graphics, while not cutting-edge by today's standards, were impressive for its time on the Xbox. The environments are beautifully crafted, showcasing a variety of planets and locations, each with its distinct atmosphere and inhabitants. From the bustling cityscape of Taris to the ancient ruins of Dantooine, the game brings the Star Wars universe to life in an immersive and visually pleasing manner. In terms of gameplay, KOTOR offered a seamless blend of real-time and turn-based combat. The strategic battles allowed players to pause the action, plan their moves, and execute them with precision. As you progressed, your character's abilities and powers expanded, allowing for a satisfying sense of growth and customization. Whether you chose to follow the path of the Jedi or embrace the dark side as a Sith, the game provided ample opportunities to shape your character's skills and alignment. The Xbox controller, with its intuitive button layout, made KOTOR a joy to play on the console. Navigating menus, issuing commands, and engaging in lightsaber duels felt smooth and responsive. The controls were well-adapted for the console, ensuring an enjoyable and immersive experience without any major frustrations. The sound design deserves special mention, as KOTOR's soundtrack and voice acting added depth and immersion to the game. The iconic Star Wars score, combined with the talented voice cast, brought the characters and the universe to life. From the menacing voice of Darth Malak to the wise guidance of Jedi masters, the audio elements elevated the overall experience and added to the game's authenticity. Despite its age, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on the Xbox remains a standout title in the RPG genre. Its compelling narrative, immersive world, and engaging gameplay continue to captivate players, even years after its release. If you own an Xbox and are a fan of Star Wars or RPGs, KOTOR is an absolute must-play, allowing you to embark on an epic adventure in a galaxy far, far away. May the Force guide you as you explore the mysteries of the Old Republic on your trusty Xbox console.

One of my favorites games. Great RPG sytem, great story and great combat. This is the best Star Wars game by far.

One of the all time great RPGs. Story is gripping with some interesting characters and dynamics. Every world you visit is well realized and feels unique, with good amounts of content. The main downside is that the into area, Taris, quickly outstays its welcome and drags on too long. After Taris the game is brilliant.

The gameplay is pretty bad. Its interesting how CRPGs really havent aged well in gameplay. The RPG elements aren't great either. The story and universe are good, but I'd wager if this didn't have star wars attached to it, no one would really care.

Top Spiel! Habe es auf der Series X gespielt. Ab und zu sind Bugs dabei und die Syncro is manchmal nicht so gut, aber ansonsten zu Empfehlen.

If FF7 is the king of JR-PG's then KOTOR is the king of western RPGs. I cannot explain in words just how amazing this game is. The story, the characters, the customization, and build options. The game is so big and so full and it's so easy to get drawn in. If you haven't played this I highly recommend picking it up on steam. it's fairly inexpensive and is usually on sale a few times a year. There are even mods to make the experience better.

Not only is this game one of the best Star Wars games ever made, but also one of the best video games ever made! I've obsessively played this game since it released and have beaten it dozens and dozens of times. Every year I make sure to beat it at least once now. It just does everything right. The music, story, characters, and locations are incredible. The gameplay is also really fun, though over time I have noticed it's flaws, but it is a 2003 game so it can be excused. I highly recommend this game.

Bioware nail what they’re good at which are deep RPG world and character building games, with an in-depth view in the story. If you like star wars, play this. If you like Mass effect, play this.

This game is a masterpiece. Brilliant storytelling, characters, music and environments. Usually I don't like the type of combat this game has but it works really well here. There aren't even that many flaws I can think of. Definitely in my top 10 games of all time list.

I'm a big gamer and star wars fan so when I played this game back in 2003 i was blown away by the graphics and story. I see a lot of people complaining about the combat and bugs. And my answer to that is if you're some kind of **** or this is your first time playing a video game I reccomend you to play "cool cat in the house" where you can learn to press the A button without needing any help. But for real the combat is strategic and thought based if you don't like that go play Call of Duty or some **** that doesn't require the rest of your brain. And when you boot up a game from 2003 you should really know what you're getting into. But the main part that kept me playing was the god tier story and the companions. Being a star wars fan in 2003 I adored the jedi and the sith and star wars in general so when I heard that this game was set 4000 years before that I was skeptical. But when I popped it into my Xbox and played it I saw that I was wrong. The story was so immersive and detailed. The worlds were intricate and beautiful and the companions were loyal and funny and just so goddamn likeable. If you haven't played this game go do it's $10 on xbox so bye.

This game is solid, it's fun, you should play it. It's not amazing and earthshaking, it won't change your life... but you'll have fun.

Possibly the best RPG game that exist today without a doubt, it has it all when it comes to a good RPG system, im also very suprised that for once a RPG game can offer a great story, and maybe the best you can get into this genre. Of course, there are some moments where you can get stuck, since the game dosent tell you exacly what to do sometimes to progress a story or a side quest. The game can also be extremely tedious if you play it more than 4 hours every day, so it's a good tip to follow. Overall a great game and very enjoyable for those who loves RPG. If I where fan of this genre, I would give it a strait 10.

The best Star Wars game out there in my opinion. The story is so good. And the voice actors for this game are incredible.

Everything about this game is perfect. The exploration, combat, story, universe, and dialouge is nailed to atee. If you have an xbox, PC, 360, or ONE, you MUST play this game.

Astonishing. The greatest star wars game ever. And one of the best RPGs ever. Story 10/10 Setting 10/10 Gameplay 10/10 Replay-ability 10/10 Music/Sounds 10/10

This is without a doubt the best STAR WARS game of all time. Ill keep it short... It is a absolute masterclass in the RPG genre and a true adventure for any STAR WARS fan. if you have not played this game do yourself a favour and play it now. It is backwards compatible with all XBOX ONE consoles and on PC and IOS/Android.
