A short Star Wars: KotoR preview can be found at C&VG today. Let me quote the bad news for those who don't know yet:
The only bad news is that the game will be appearing on Xbox first, this autumn, with the PC version planned for the following spring (partly so as not to clash with the release of Galaxies). We just hope that doesn't mean they'll sacrifice the rich detail and vast immersion we've come to associate with Baldur's Gate. It may be that we gain something into the bargain, as Knights will feature an old favourite in console RPGs – mini-games – like racing swoop bikes and manning laser turrets. And to give you an idea of the scope, we can tell you that there are ten worlds to quest through (including Tatooine, the Sith world, the Jedi Academy and the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk), each teeming with life, power struggles, NPCs and unique objects. As if that weren't enough, you'll be travelling between those worlds in an ancestor of the beloved Millennium Falcon. |
