One could quibble about a few things in Knights, like the sparse visual customizations of the main character compared to other RPGs (including the massively multiplayer game Star Wars Galaxies) or the fact that the lip-synching of character’s speeches is off or that we will likely have to wait a while before the promised Xbox Live downloadable content is available for the game. But these are minor quibbles indeed. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a superb game; well designed, graphically great to watch, deep and involving and just a ton of fun to play. It’s a candidate for best RPG of the year and best Xbox game of the year, and in my opinion it is also the best Star Wars game ever made.
