A superb tightrope walker, Knights of the Old Republic maintains the fine line between the go anywhere, do anything mentality of PC role-playing and the structured universe of console gaming. You’re free to explore and gain quests as you go, but several times unbeknownst to you, the main storyline is advancing. What’s so great is that even though you are participating in the main plot it’s on your character’s terms. During your conversations with NPC’s you can react several different ways, molding not only the tempo, but the ending of the game with your own style of play as well. You’ll be surprised at how differently people react to you based on you gender and what side of the force you follow. This game is all about choices. Early on players realize that there are several ways to complete a quest.
