Spanning across more than six planets, a satellite, and several starships, the story of Knights of the Old Republic is certain to keep interest levels high throughout all of the many twists and turns. The most interesting of the elements introduced in the game is the ability to choose either the Light or Dark Side. Unlike other games where your decision has very little effect on gameplay, or where one side is inherently more advantageous to follow, BioWare does a fabulous job balancing both sides and setting up perfect motivation for whatever the eventual decision may be. Whereas some games may punish an evil character by restricting certain gameplay components or by making the eventual climactic battle of the great and evil entity nonsensical, Knights of the Old Republic treats both sides with equal gusto. Enough, in fact, to prompt players to explore the game twice as a member of both sides of the Force simply to see the many different ways that the story unfolds. It truly is fascinating to watch as the game seems to change its course based on your decisions, and it is refreshing to finally be free in your choices without having to worry about missing certain plot points later.
