[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1301234, member: 158"] Let me play devil's advocate a moment. I purchased KOTOR on PC back in early December, and only two days ago rented it for my wife's XBox. I found the PC version HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the XBox version, to the point of finding it unplayable after having beat it twice on my PC. 1) The Graphics on my TV were actually quite fuzzy compared to my PC - the obvious reason being the TV's lower resolution, but it was still quite jarring. 2) The controls to get to the save games, the equipping lists, etc. were quite awkward to me compared to the ease of using them in my PC (more buttons). 3) There are added features, [spoiler]such as an extra world to visit,[/spoiler] in the PC version. The game definitely played the same for me, but I didn't feel the XBox was the superior of the two offerings; this was to be expected, after having several months' difference between releases. Having had few problems with my PC version, I enjoyed the experience more. The one problem I did have was when I bought a new video card at the same time as the game, and it caused me to lock up; turned out the card was the defective element. It ran even well when I played on my 32MB MX card, only sputtering occasionally on the cutscenes. On my 128MB FX 5200 card, it sings like a mynabird. But you really won't be crying with either version. The game is darned well crafted. [/QUOTE]
