Best Game Ever!!! I had high hopes for this game and was really looking forward to playing it. Unfortunately, from the moment I loaded it to the last cut scene (which I just viewed ten minutes ago), this game has been nothing but a disappointment. From a technical perspective, it's simply horrible. I have a fairly high-end machine (Dell Inspiron running at 3+ ghz, 2 gigs RAM, 9800 Radeon video card, etc.) and I still experienced difficulties; there were lag issues, video did not play properly and CONSTANT crashes. On the surface, the gameplay would seem to have potential: your affiliation and actions--light or dark--affects the storyline of the game. Unfortunately, it really doesn't. Only the most superficial story arcs are affected by what you do. Some powers and weapons are light-side or dark-side specific, but you rarely need to use them (if at all) so it really doesn't matter what side you choose. Related to that, the game is very linear and must be completed in a certain way in most instances. Some miscellaneous rants: (1) Your player is limited to running and looking in a single plane: no jumping, crouching, looking up, looking down. (2) The weapons upgrade system is incomprehensible and it's impossible to tell what, if any, effect it has on your arsenal. (3) Keeping track of your inventory (which can get huge--another goofy design choice) is cumbersome. (4) The battle system is ridiculous: it's turn based and totally artificial. Unfortunately, I could go on, but I think you get the picture. At $5.00 I might try it, but don't pay a penny more.
