360 Backward Compatibility Opinions

I was looking for how well the following games perform for BC before I decide to go buy them. Also if anyone else has games they're interested in too, to list them here.

Fable or Fable: Lost Chapters (What's the difference?)
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic 2
 
Fable: Lost Chapters is extremely choppy. I got all hungry for some Fable action and planned 4 hours one night to play it. I didnt get out of the first town child story........

I will suffer though it though some time, heard the framerate is "abit" better after childhood, but I have my doubts.

KOTOR2 has some serious slowdown issues when there are many enemies onscreen, several minor audio glitches and intermittent crashes.

Its barely better than the original version.
 
Kotor runs kind of spotty, like sometimes your character will run more than he supposed to.

like run into a mine before you can even disarm it, it also has a low volume level for some reason.

runs ok otherwise.

Well Sony has promised full BC (probabaly minus a couple glitchy games like PS2 had).

I'm really loving Halo and Halo 2 BC compatibility.

They just need to fix Fable (apparently) BC and add Shenmue II/Panzer Dragoon Orta and I'll have every XBox game I would want to own covered.
 
Even if KOTOR 2 ran at 60 fps in 1080p I wouldn't recommend it. The game sucks. Save your money.

The only Xbox game I've tried in my 360 is GTA:SA and it's a world of difference. I couldn't play the game on my HDTV because it looked like complete crap but the increased resolution with the 360 helps big time. Now I can it on my 56" screen without it looking like a horrible jaggy mess.
 
360 BC gives you the experience of running PC games on an semi outdated computer, now in console form!
