This is just about everything I want in a Star Wars game. Customizable character, force powers, lightsabers... it's all great! ... once you get there. Both this game and its sequel suffer from horrendously slow early games. Getting through Taris is such a slog, but eventually the rest of the experience is so good that I kinda forget about the boring parts. The story is excellent, with one of the great reveals in video game history, and the game is full of phenomenal antagonists who always seem to show up at the most inconvenient times! All-in-all, a Star Wars RPG is a slamdunk, and Bioware did a heck of a job.
