Starting the game one is playing something very reminiscent of a classic Gameboy game, many elements borrowed from famous franchises of the time.

The game definitely brings back many good gaming memories.

Pro Gameplay holds up well
For what is now an eleven year old game, the classic Bioware RPG game mechanics such as branching dialog and turn based battles similar to a CRPG (where the player must pause the gameplay in order to choose their commands to then un-pause in order to watch their chosen strategy play out) hold up well.
Pro Engaging story thanks to the superb writing
Being a role playing game, KotOR has a pretty long story that the player feels connected to that luckily was written well, making for a good story that is very engaging.
Pro Handles Star Wars license well
Seeing things like Jedi vs Sith and politics in the game that are now staples of the newer movies helps to feel as though the game fits into the cannon quite well. With so many movie license games in the past being quick cash-ins it is great to see the Star Wars license used in a manner that fits with the cannon and of high quality development.
Cons
Con Too generic
While trying to pay tribute to the great classics in the RPG genre the game itself lacks any feeling of "soul" or personality making for a tale that is just too familiar and obvious.
Con Somewhat buggy
Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.
