{"product_id":"star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-xbox","title":"Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic - Xbox","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarketplace.comStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars  thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi  master Revan and his apprentice Malak  led the Republics forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Only the Force powers of the Jedi Bastila prevented the Sith from overwhelming the Republics weakened forces. At the start of the game Malak has usurped control of the Sith by Predictionraying Revan and has attacked the ship carrying Bastila and yourself. In true Star Wars style  the game begins with a bang.The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn but is instead a genuinely interesting adventure told with humor  compassion  and respect for the source material. Your character has a mystical bond with Bastila  and the two of you share some kind of connection to the Sith villains Darth Malak and Darth Revan. The games planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of discovering the source of the Siths sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or Gaming) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back stories of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game  particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People.Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coasts d20 Star Wars RPG game system--anyone who has played Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons will be familiar with the abilities  stats  feats  and bonuses in this game. The player creates a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier  smuggler  scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian  consular  sentinel). Joining the players character are other Jedi  warriors  thieves  droids  a wookiee  and even a Mandolorian. Unlike the faceless non-player characters of other games  each member of the supporting cast has an intriguing history and even agenda. Up to two of these other characters can join your character at any time. Depending on who you chose to take with you  new dialogue and even intra-party arguments come into the game (put the Mandalorian veteran with the Republic patriot and youll see sparks fly). Combat is real-time turn-based  meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue orders or direct any character to use a certain Force power  ability  feat  or item.Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Building and character models are not impressive--about what you get in GTA 3. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass  clouds  and weather) bring the world to life. Battles are just brilliant  with characters pumping out blaster fire at Jedi who dash  dodge  and even deflect the bolts back toward their assailants. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies  the thrilling combat is pure Star Wars.All in all  Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece of Star Wars gaming. The pacing  balance of action and dialogue  clever puzzles and quests  and loving attention to detail have set the bar very high for role-playing games in general and Star Wars games in particular. Consider this a must-have game.--Mike FehlauerPros: Captivating storyline Clever dialogue Star Wars feel True story and dialogue support for either Light Side or Dark Side play Brilliant combat graphics Fascinating characters (the loyal--and homicidal--droid HK-47 is truly unique) Cons: Occasional bugs in dialogue  movie playback Cannot transfer equipped gear Predictionween characters while on your shipProduct DescriptionStar Wars role playing experience with evolving characters including humans  droids \u0026amp; wookiees.From the ManufacturerLong before the Galactic Civil War  an epic drama begins.
