what do you even mean? this was was originaly a xbox exclsuive, it only had a pc port and ios port so this is only the second time there is a release of this game for consoles...

Why this jank?

It's like reheated pasta. It will not be as good as it was upon the original release.

OK, where is cartridge? Also, I hope part 2 gets re-released with full cut content and all game breaking bugs fixed. And it would not hurt to have the third, should that old unfinished work still be out there somewhere. Would have nice to see the trilogy closed up.

Oh man, i really thought they would change the combat system as i didn't/don't like it in the original at all, i could do with a turn-based combat or straight up 3rd person shooter style combat..

Resident Evil 4 says get off my lawn!!! lol

 

[spotanjo3]

Yike! Looks like PS2 graphic or something like that. Oh man!

 

[sarkwalvein]

This was a great game, 100 years ago.
Had a great time playing it.

 

[Viri]

Where the fuck is Star Wars Rogue Squadron II?! Why is that game doomed on the Gamecube?

 

[Dinomite]

I've been as keen as a bean for this release! I never played the original and heard the story is amazing.

 

[Xzi]

Yeah almost like it was released in 2003 or something.

rogue squadron 1 is on n64 only 2 and 3 are on the gc.

of the 3 games only the first one had a pc release, the second and thrid were made exclsuvively for the gamecube which mens its hard to port/remaster devs mostly just remaster or port games with pc version since its way easier.

Yeah, me too but man, did it age poorly.

The story is incredible! You'll get used to the unorthodox gameplay and you'll be rewarded with an amazing story. If you like Star Wars and/or Sci-Fi, KoToR is a must play. Go into it spoiler-free.
