KotOR's battle system... fun?

Hell ya, it's very strategic, so if you enjoy that type of thing it's alot of fun.

I really enjoyed pausing, queing up combat commands for all 3 characters, and then letting them loose on the enemies...

Are those graphics real-time? Seems like it uses some real-time assets but its so damn good looking.

Im sold on this game, 1up's bickering over the game actually made me more interested, gametrailer's video review rocks too, and the extended TV ad is all sort of win.

Why isnt this game more hyped on xbox live? i've tried to find the extended ad on it to no avail, only thing they have is the bringing it home trailer, hardly fitting for this game, there's not even a lost odyssey name by trailer by name sections.

100% CG cutscene.

As far as I know Sakaguchi has put all sorts of restrictions over how the game should be shown over the internet. He did the same thing with BD, except at least the official japanese page of the game was updated weekly the last few months before release. But on the US side, nothing was shown.
He also mandated that the demo and various public demonstrations of the game show advanced levels for the characters so (I guess) people could see the extend of the spells/powers. And it the end, it simply killed any sense of fulfillment in that demo, not even mentioning it removed any context it could have had in the actual game.

The review was decent, but I'm disappointed in the fact that they basically frowned upon it being a jrpg. It is what it is; don't knock it just because it's not Mass Dialog Effect. Cheap.

LO is getting really good advertising here for being a jrpg and all. I've seen it on CNN and ESPN so far.

If you are trying to suggest that FFXII's battle system is more fun than Kotor's then you my friend have zero taste.

I hate when reviews do that. The Penny-Arcade comic for Enchanted Arms still stands relevant for nearly every RPG released on the 360 & it's criticism.

Nope, but the real time environments still look amazing.
