> The many cut-scenes are top notch and overall the loading is kept to a bearable amount.  I haven't forgotten the enemies.  Most of the monsters are nicely detailed and menacing enough.  Although your arch enemy, Darth Malak, doesn't compare to Darth Vader or Darth Maul, he's evil looking as can be expected.  Lastly, the cities do an excellent job of transporting you into George Lucas' vision of the future.  All this is fine as long as the gameplay is intact, which I'll describe below.

     > Your characters are highly customizable, while some weapons and armor are upgradable.  As you advance, more people will be added to your team within a predetermined storyline.  You can acquire new weapons, armor and items throughout your journey as quest prizes, shop purchases, treasure finds and while corpse searching.  Just about everything you do influences your light/dark side tendencies, which affects your future choices and ultimate destiny.

     > Most worlds you visit have a main quest (mandatory), along with multiple side quests (optional).  You'll need to explore, use persuasion, pick locks and win battles to succeed.  Talking to people is how to gain information, and receive/complete quests.  I guess my only real complaint in this department would be that you can't transport back to your base at any time -- you sometimes have to trudge through multiple areas, which are usually devoid of enemies.

     > The sound effects in KOTOR are top notch.  Everything you'd expect to hear in a Star Wars movie is present.  Even the multitude of conversations you'll have are text and spoken (nice touch).  For the most part, the voice acting is pretty good.
