  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the buggiest games I have ever seen. It's pretty ridiculous.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>You name the bug, it's probably got it. Choppy frame rate. Clipping problems. Disappearing characters. Level-up exploits. Slow-downs and crashes. This game isn't just broken, it's shattered into a million pieces and setting itself on fire. I had thought that the days of developers dumping unfinished games out the door were over. Guess I was wrong, or maybe I just haven't been playing very many games lately.

The game itself is pretty long and boring, with too much dialogue and an over-abundance of exasperating sidequests. I suppose some Star Wars fans might like it. The "romance" between your character (who doesn't speak except for what you put in his mouth) and the female lead is a riot. The fact that your character's "personality" is determined by you makes the entire affair seem like a dating simulation. Do you think maybe the people at Bioware enjoy dating sims?

But I cannot stress enough how sloppy the design is. I played the X-Box version, and I was honestly stunned by how much crap the developers let slide by. PC games are supposed to be plagued with bugs, not console games.</div>
