I believe awards can be given to the wrong person or game
So are you telling me that KOTOR didnt deserve Game Of The Year 2003.... Name a better game that came out 2003...
GOTY awards are always given to the correct game. The fact that KOTOR was the best RPG to grace consoles in along time was part of the reason, the second was that it made Star Wars "cool" again, and it was also the first "AAA" RPG on Xbox...
ok...........prince of persia,metroid prime,beyond good and evil, worms 3d, soul calibur 2, final fantasy tacics advance, deus ex 2(the true goty!), project gotham racing 2, wario ware, ratchet and clank 2, rainbow six 3, viewtiful joe, IKARUGA, etc.
i could go on but i need to go.
well, I ran out of ideas, and I liked megaman, sooo.... here I am?

But what did they achieve. GOTY is only given to a game that does something special in a genre. KOTOR was the first real RPG on Xbox and it was the best out at the time on any console. It also had the best story in any RPG. A story that changed with your actions. It also made the Star Wars franchaise "cool" again. What did those above games do that was special? Nothing. They were just mostly good games.

prince of persia: saved the platform genre from a grisly end. metroid prime: showed that a first person adventure is a great idea beyond good and evil: you dont have to be nintendo to have a good adventure rpg. worms 3d: saved the great worms games from death soul calibur 2: kept the fighting genre up and running after many a poor game. deus ex 2(the true goty!): made a succesful transition of the greatest original game ever to the xbox wario ware: most original game for years. viewtiful joe: very unique game that defined the importance of keeping the side scroller alive. IKARUGA: one of the onlygames in the top down shooter catergory strong enought o keep a glimmer of hope for retro gamers.
im out of breath. </rant>

lol ;D Nice rant. I must say i agree with all of that, but KOTOR was a better overall game than all of those. Must say, i also thought Deus Ex 2 was a contender, as i had it for Xbox and it was a great game. But i still stand by my statement that KOTOR well deserved the award.
Its basically the same game but with a few extras.
for example, there are torches at the start of the deku dungeon, so you can go straight to teh boss, or so it would seem. you still have to go to the top to get the item(slingshot). it makes you think about whether you can skip major sections, but infact, it just tortures you.
