Widely regarded as one of the best games ever made, particularly within the genre of RPGs, BioWare's Star Wars tale is set way before the main films as you fight against the Sith warrior Darth Malak, almost 4,000 years before the events of A New Hope.

The game focuses around an unnamed solider in the Galactic Republic and Carth Onasi, who are attempting to locate Bastila Shan, a woman who has harnessed the power of battle meditation, allowing her to infuse power and confidence to armies worth of troops that would prove pivotal to the Republic's triumph over the Sith.

The game has a vast amount of systems that a Player can incorporate into their character make-up; gear, Force powers, weapons, skills and attributes, a levelling system - all playing into the melting pot that is character customisation.

While the game starts with noble intentions, the Player has the free will to choose their own allegiances with both actions and dialogue options, choosing whether to follow the noble light side or the powerfully seductive dark side of the Force. This offers different story endings and one HELL of a plot twist that you'd need Force clairvoyance to see coming.
