While clunky in some place, still holds a good part in my life. the rpg mechanics. turn base with pause is really good, gives the illusion that its real time with pause. Characters are amazing, dark side is utterly evil and fun toi play through. and the story still got me even though i pretty much knew alot of the events that transpired in it

also arguably invented the coolest era of star wars

Amazing through and through if you can ignore some crashes and some clunkyness

As much as i love the story and characters, as well as some of the cool traffic stuff. i have literally NO idea why its fun. My experience was on classic mode as that's how the game was apparently meant to be played. but man is it unfair.

The race is one of the most bullshit things I've ever played, there is no conceivable way to win unless you are in at least 4th place after the first round which is already hard to do. I did that race to the point i didn't even know how many times i did it. and my god the final level is total bull, moving from cover is basically a death wish and i also found out that when you reload you lose the entire clip you had in your gun already, which the game never told me. So i had a checkpoint where i had extremely limited ammo and if i ran out and didnt kill the bullet sponges i was basically done for.

man i wanted to like this game but the fact this is the "classic" experience that everybody liked is horrifying. also freeroam is literally a separate option in the menu. I've been liking so much more of mafia 2 so far however so there is promise
