BARGAIN!

was gonna buy it pre-owned for that price from game but then i saw this...

I got it today at that price. If there's a Curry's locally they will price match and take 10% off the difference. It's £32.99 there so you'd get it for £7.70

It is a good game. The one thing I found slightly underwhelming was the game's big bad. I didn't feel that the evil character(s) you were supposed to protect the universe from were all that threatening.

On the plus side, the game allows you to be a complete !!!!!! to people, which is always hilarious. And there's far more moral ambiguity in this game - whereas in Star Wars KOTOR you were either breathlessly evil or totally good, there's more grey choices here.

Oh, and space lesbians.

I LOVE this game. So much so, I've completed it once, am on my 2nd playtrhough with the same character (you get to keep all the stats & equipment you got your first playthrough, which is pretty cool) and I'm planning my next character (female, renegade - my first is a male paragon) so that I can unlock everything and see all the different choices - at this price it is an amazing bargain. (I have 66 hours play time so far and have plenty more to go...).

They're not lesbians - they're aliens who are monogendered - both male and female - and can mate with any race, any gender. Or at least, mind-meld!

My least favourite thing about the game is the mako - a car-come-tank you drive about in on assorted planets, with awful controls and a tendency to get blown up more quickly than you might like. The rest of it is great though!

Hey this game sounds like one I could play whilst the other half is working away ... I looked but no stock in my local store, howerer there was the option to order it in so hopefully once it arrives in store it will be the same price!!!

Just to confirm that the price match option works (see Samoyed_1's posting above) as I managed to pick this up from the local Currys for £7.70. You should have seen the managers face - worth every penny!!!

I started this & it's apparently a slow burner at first but gets better with time. I did start as a female captain called "bucket" & am a bit of a hard-nose

I still need to put in a few more hours before it gets interesting I think, still stuck on the thingy with loads of politicians.
