<a href=http://www.fourfatchicks.com>Four Fat Chicks</a> have posted a <a href=http://www.fourfatchicks.com/Reviews/Star_Wars/KOTOR.shtml>review</a> of <a href=http://www.bioware.com>BioWare</a>'s Star Wars CRPG, <a href=http://www.swkotor.com>Knights of the Old Republic</a>. There's no numerical score, but the review is overwhelmingly positive.

<br>
<blockquote>Party members include three other Jedi, one of them being that snot Bastila (ooh, how I wished I could've reached into my TV and fattened her lip once or twice); a couple of robots, er, droids, I mean; a mercenary; that damned goody two-shoes Republic soldier Carth; and a big ol' hairy Wookie and his interspecies gal pal, a perky Twi'lek named Mission ("Twi'lek" means "Two Blue Snake Butts Growing out of Your Blue Head," I think). Most of them are weak. I wound up choosing the same two for almost every outing, that bitch Bastila and my favorite bad-ass humanoid droid, the stylishly metallic HK-47. Sometimes I was forced to do a mission by myself, and sometimes I could not choose these two characters (your party has a three-character maximum) for whatever reason and had to use a lesser character. Like that damned Carth. Actually, that damned Carth was a halfway decent buttkicker. I just did not like him much. No sirree Bob, not much at all.</blockquote>

The review makes an interesting point about how KotOR serves as a bridge for adventure gamers into RPGs, which is pretty much spot on. The adventure genre isn't dead--we have BioWare!

This was a really fair review of KOTOR, imho.
I especially liked how they summed the game up like this:

"Knights of the Old Republic is fast-paced, linear, and consistently entertaining, and the goals are always clear. "

So many reviews claim that the game is non-linear. It's not. But linear games can be entertaining too. I just don't see myself playing KOTOR a second time.

Four Fat Chicks always have great reviews. And they're SASSY too!

i dont like this review.
meh, carth blows, he is hardly a second option, i wonder if she actually finished the game as she claims, and the reversed controls are probably the only thing i dont mind about the turret minigame, maybe she needs some tie-fighter and freespace lessons :D
