Community reactions:Third Strongest Mole

I remember really wanting to get it back in the day. It's what bioware was working on while KOTOR 2 was handed over to obsidian. I wound up passing on it then, I think due to it getting an m rating at the time (which was changed for the remaster). I checked it out briefly on ea play through gamepass but did not get very far. Was surprised how clumsy the combat felt. Not sure it aged very well.16bitwars-nomad

Owned, played the mess out of it, and finished it. If I remember correctly, you had different characters you could play through the story with. Overall I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t hold up to more modern games but it’s still a good one in my book. I wish a sequel had been created.MikeyLovesRetro

Honestly a good game for its time. An updated game on today's engine might do really well Count_Vampz

@Count_Vampz

Super solid game with a bit of jank here and there. But I've beaten it about 5 times

Great game. Loved playing through it. But maybe not that memorable. Knights of the old republic was betterRussell Dornisch

@bestkeeper

One of my top 5 games of all time! Still sad we didn’t get a sequel!

(Question of the week)

Third Strongest Mole

What if "official" reproduction games were a thing? Like, if Nintendo was selling working SNES cartridges of Super Mario World, that were clearly distinguished as such. Do you think there is a market for this? How much would you be willing to pay for one?
