GamePro have posted their KotOR review, finding it quite compelling . The final score is 4.5 and here's an excerpt:
KOTOR’s structure is very simple: walk around, find quests, carry ’em out, rinse, and repeat for 50 hours. The battle system, however, requires special mention: It may look real-time in the screens, but it’s actually turn-based and intensely fast—just like in Baldur’s Gate, you can pause the action at any time to target enemies and assign commands to party members. There’s a learning curve in store here for most, but it’s quickly surmounted, and executing grandiose three-way combos on bosses soon becomes second nature. It's amazing how many 90%+ KotOR reviews have made it sound quite boring! |
