14 The Beauty Of The DesignsĪlthough these graphics may look old hat nowadays, it’s impossible to deny that KotOR had an absolutely stunning visual palette, filled with colour and imagination. At long last, when you booted this game, it felt like the galaxy far, far away was yours to explore.
The game's sequel The Sith Lords, and the years-later online follow-up The Old Republic, took this idea and ran with it, but neither of them quite match up to that initial experience of KotOR. KotOR offers a sense of freedom like no other Star Wars game to date. Plus, each place you land is populated with unique characters and challenges, and although the ultimate aim remains the same throughout (finding the ancient Star Map on each planet), there are endless side quests and alternate routes to keep it from ever feeling repetitive. If you get bored of one, or stuck, you can hop over to another world for a change of pace. Once you’re through the initial training bits, you’ve got free rein to explore numerous planets and forge your own paths through them. This is a flaw that KotOR simply doesn’t have. With a lot of Star Wars games, it feels like you’re on a preordained path, bumbling along from one cut-scene to the next without many choices along the way.
