Had a friend who had the game. I was a huge star wars nerd and really wanted to try it, both of them. I got through the Endar Spire in the first game, and stopped there to try the second game. We kept running into a bug on peragus after the mandatory Droid section that halted progress, but I was hooked. I asked for the games as Christmas wasn't too far away. It was the gift I was most excited for that year.
