Pros
Pro Awesome Space Age music
Putt to the delightful bosanova sounds of the space age, the sound track and music in Putt the Planets is really nice 50's style sci music. One of the best most original sound tracks I have heard in an Android game, I would pay the dollar just for the music.
Pro Controls are easy for all skill levels
Putt the Planets is a very fun miniature golf game, it has an easy control setup that will be easy for anyone of all ages to pick up and play. The simple button layout provides for a great game experience while not taking away from the excellent planetary backdrops.
Pro Out of this world Space locations
Each planet is rendered with spectacular settings and vista. You will see what the surface of each of the planets in our solar system looks like. Visit Mars, Saturn and the Moon, and play golf there!
Pro Educational Fun!
Play golf on all of the planets in our solar systems while learning facts about space, physics and our planets. 3d planet landscapes based on current scientific data give a wonderful environment for fun and learning.
Pro Longevity through multiple playthroughs thanks to the sheer amount of text and choices to be found in the game

Pro Many mods
You can find many community-created mods that improve the game.
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 Somewhat buggy
Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.
