Wooohooo! I beat Knights of the Old Republic, Bioware's new fantastic roleplaying adventure. I spent approximately 30 hours (in game), about twice the time real time) playing it and all I can say is: WOW!!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The storyline is just brilliant! The moment where you find out that you are in fact Revan is weaved into the storyline brilliantly! The ending was a little bit corny, with the medals and all, but nonetheless satisfactory. The game was never really hard (only the last fights in the Star Forge itself against the hordes of Dark Jedi's was a little tough) but I had loads of fun playing it.

I did try all the swoop races, managed to win Manaan, but didn't do Tatooine fully, as well as the championship race on Taris. I *think* I did almost all quests, missed one or two, but I was level 18 at the end of the game. Malak was doable in the end, the butload of those red healing packets (Life Support Packs?) helped a lot. Bastila, on the other hand was pretty hard (according to Gamebanshee) but Stasis Field made her a sitting duck [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hands down to Bioware for delivering another superb roleplaying experience. I'm gonna play the dark side next, not taking Carth and Bastila with me this time. They were my party members during the entire game. Jolee sucked IMHO (died too quickly), I never really got the hang of demolition use (setting traps and all), so Mission and Zaalbar were a no-go either. Canderous was pretty decent, but I liked Carth better. Juhani was ugly-looking and had an irritating soundset (IMHO). The little droid would've been useful in computer use, but I never really took him, and the big droid (who was yours apparently) was pretty funny (much like Lilarcor in BG2: "I would much rather see this end in a blood-bath, master" when walkin in the Sandpeople enclave).

There were a couple of enemies who were supposed to be hard, but turned out to be easy (I mentioned dark Bastila before), but Darth Bandon was a big laugh, as well as Calo Nord. Sheesh.. those guys were *too* easy!! I had more difficulties with the Rancor in the beginning!!

If you don't have it: go and buy it!! NOW!!!!
