Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I guess it's true what they say about suckers...
This is truly a great game. A fantastic RPG in every way that matters. And unlike most RPGs coming out at the moment, this game doesn't resort to FPS-like realtime combat. However, and this may just be my ignorance talking, I am stunned a game that came out 4 1/2 years ago is selling for $40.00 "reduced". Mac users are clearly getting the shaft.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Did not work on my Intel Mac
Although I remember this being a great game when I played it on my original xbox a couple of years ago, the game would not stop crashing on my perfectly fine computer. There was supposedly a patch released so that the game would run on intel-based macs, but this did not prevent the game from crashing.

Worth buying only if you have a non-intel mac :-(


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Trouble on Intel Mac
Although there was a patch released to supposedly get this game working on Intel macs, the game repeatedly crashed on my computer. I remember playing the game on xbox, and it is definitely worth playing if you have an older mac, but not if you have an intel based computer.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your money if you have an Intel-based Mac!!
I purchased KOTOR as the first game to go along with my new Intel-based iMac. However, neither the product packaging, the Aspyr website, or any other site selling this game mentioned that it is functionally incompatible with an Intel-based processor. As a result, it will lock up, suffer major graphics and gameplay issues, and be completely unplayable. When contacted, Aspyr (the game maker) said that they were aware of the problem but would not provide any support, despite the fact that their own website has no mention of this incompatibility.

It's too bad. It looked like a great game. Unfortunately, it's a complete waste of money for anyone with a new Mac.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Intel Based Mac Users
The game is based on the Extended Universe, which is a large Star Wars based universe that has been expanded by role playing books, comics, story books etc.

So those that are looking for episode 4-5-6 type of Star Wars experience may not find it there. Others that are familiar with the content other than the movies will not have an adaptation problem.

The game, the quest system, D&D like interface, and the strong 3d engine for its time looks really good, and you will really enjoy your every minute while playing it.

The only problem is that the aspyr mac version does not work with intel based macs at the moment, but a patch is being worked on. There isnt any estimated release date for the patch.
