“its an older game, a little janky, and when you get towards the end, even on easy mode it got really, really hard. The story was fun though, and well worth the effort. Now to play it on "dark side!"”

“worked only once and refueses to boot at all afterwards,may the 4th be with me <3”
“Lags a little for "movie" scenes and occasional character stuckness (which can be circumnavigated by switching members of the party or saving and reloading). Nostalgic. RIP to my little brother.”

“I would gladly sell my soul to Larian if they remade this masterpiece of a game in the style of Baldur's Gate 3. Yes, it's outdated and a pain to run on modern hardware, but to this day there is no Star Wars game that ever topped this diamond in the rough as far as story goes.…”
