| | | Mandalorians
I think the Mandalorians are one of the species in the Star Wars Galaxies. It would have been great if you could have some Mandalorian Warriors with you! Is there a Star Wars game simular to swkotor but about the Mandalorians??? (but i doubt there would b)

For games that are similar to KotoR, you would have to look at 2D RPGs like the Baldur's Gate series and Planescape: Torment (arguably the best CRPG ever made), or 3D action-oriented RPGs like Morrowind which are more open-ended. None of 'em have anything to do with Lucas' pulp fiction universe.

| | | Fable forgot to mention Neverwinter Nights, which is also 3D, also made by bioware, and more like KotOR than Morrowind, I'd say.
Though if you want starwars games, a good couple of good ones are Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and DF IV: JK III: Jedi Academy.
You could also try DF I and DF II: JK, but they are getting a bit old, so don't expect much from the graphical side. I remember playing the demo for DF II: JK back in 1998 or around there. 3D games.
Have'nt played JO that much, but they say it's good. JA is a great game, though awfully short. The multiplayer is good, but very similiar to JO's

| | | I don't have this game, but aren't the Mandalorians bounty-hunter types like Boba/Jango? Didn't know they were a "species" of hunters ;D. |

| | Haha, you didn't listen during the KotOR conversations did you 
The Mandalorians are a seperate species. Very similar to humans in appearance, they are/were proud, warlike, yet honorable.
By the time of Jango Fett, little was left of the Mandalorians. He was one of a relatively small group left in the galaxy. Many were killed during the Mandalorian Wars, shortly before the Great Sith War, and were only defeated by the tactical prowess of the Jedi Revan. Obviously after this people had a rather one-sided view of Mandalorians, and could only really find work as bounty-hunters and hired thugs.
If you ask me, Jango is a shadow of the Mandalorians glory. A skilled warrior, but perhaps lacks the honor of his people. To be fair, it is probably the only reason he survived as long as he did, but compared to Canderous? Pah.  |

| | | For cryin' out loud, this is what the game's about, yes?! Haven't Bioware lined their pockets enough with gold! Must I give them more! Cool read by teh way.
Bleh, wish I never saw that movie, or the one before it. Lamest Mandalorian fight ever. Jedi chops my head off, it's a flesh wound! I don't even know who Canderous is, so yeah, pah to that. |

| | Canderous Ordo, the Mandalorian that travels with you in KOTOR. Head-and-shoulders above Jango. Tells you about some of his experiences in the Mandalorian Wars, makes Jango seem like a boy scout IMO.
Lets be fair to Jango Fett though, if you've got to get killed by a Jedi, I'd say Mace Windu is a pretty good guy to get killed by. No shame in that, if it's possible to feel shame when there's 50 metres between your head and shoulders.

| | | There are mandalorian style armors in the game, such as Casus Fett's (related to Jango?) armor, or Calo Nord's armor, among others, but no helmet, sadly. Also, the only mandalorian worth keeping around is Canderous. The rest are sneaky bastards who steal from helpless farmers and ambush you when you're unarmed, and as such deserve to be slaughtered like animals. Them and those damn Aqualish. What kind of name is Aqualish anyway? |

| | Darth, if you would, please, put up a SPOILER several lines before you include giveaway info about KotoR, as you just did.
I changed your post accordingly. You can do it on your own, next time.
