Star Wars: Knights of the Ancient Republic for XboxAmazon.com Review
Star Wars: Knights of the Ancient Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and like. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republic’s forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Only the Force powers of the Jedi Bastila prevented the Sith from overwhelming the Republic’s weakened forces. At the start of the game Malak has usurped control of the Sith by betraying Revan and has attacked the ship carrying Bastila and yourself. In right Star Wars stylishness, the game starts with a bang.
The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn but is instead a genuinely fascinating adventure told with humor, compassion, and respect for the fund material. Your character has a mystical bond with Bastila, and the two of you share some kind of connection to the Sith villains Darth Malak and Darth Revan. The game’s planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of learning the fund of the Sith’s sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or gambling) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back tales of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People.
Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coast’s d20 Star Wars RPG game system–anyone who has played Dungeons & Dragons will be familiar with the abilities, stats, feats, and bonuses in this game. The player makes a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier, smuggler, scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian, consular, sentinel). Joining the player’s character are other Jedi, warriors, thieves, droids, a wookiee, and even a Mandolorian. Unlike the faceless non-player characters of other sports meeting, each member of the at the bottom of cast has an intriguing history and even agenda. Up to two of these other characters can join your character at any time. Depending on who you chose to take with you, new dialogue and even intra-party arguments come into the game (place the Mandalorian experienced person with the Republic patriot and you’ll see sparks glide). Combat is real-time turn-based, meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue instructions or direct any character to use a certain Force potential, ability, feat, or item.
Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Building and character models are not impressive–about what you get in GTA 3. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass, clouds, and weather) bring the world to life. Battles are just brilliant, with characters pumping out blaster fire at Jedi who dash, dodge, and even deflect the bolts back toward their assailants. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies, the thrilling combat is pure Star Wars.
All in all, Star Wars: Knights of the Ancient Republic is a masterpiece of Star Wars gaming. The pacing, balance of action and dialogue, gifted puzzles and quests, and loving attention to detail have set the bar very high for role-playing sports meeting in general and Star Wars sports meeting in particular. Consider this a must-have game.–Mike Fehlauer
Pros:
- Attractive storyline
- Gifted dialogue
- Star Wars feel
- Right tale and dialogue support for either Light Side or Dark Side play
- Brilliant combat graphics
- Fascinating characters (the loyal–and homicidal–droid HK-47 is truly unique)
Cons:
- Occasional bugs in dialogue, movie playback
- Cannot transfer equipped gear between characters while on your ship

I reflect this game is super excellent but it could be better if it had xbox live
Rating: 4 / 5
The controls are slow and unreasonable! The graphics are foggy and unseeable. The gameplay is dull with not anything new about it. This is the the first rpg with Star Wars, and it’s the worst!

For all the people out there who still want a excellent starwars game, well we might have found it the Graphics dont look ground breaking but they look much better than most of the other starwars sports meeting that have come out for the consoles,(im excluding the Rouge Squaderans 1 and 2, and also the new Star Wars Galexeys that has been in most magazines for the PC there graphics are exact}. now i dont know about the tale line but i reflect it should be the best, longest, and funest star wars game yet. The game i hear can go in two different paths on for the force and one for the dark side witch should be able to quench any ones thurst for the game, and it also makes for a excellent replay regard. now the game will probley get excellent reveiws but this is only my opinion. Knites of the Ancient Republic looks like it will be one of the best sports meeting of the year, lets hope the tale will be right to the star wars univers.(The force looks strong with this one}.

This game is gonna be the greatest Star Wars game ever. With options to customize your character, have a clan, and have your dicisions in the game affect how you turn out later in the game, its gonna be an awsome.
