Customer Reviews:

A decent sequel [Posted on 2008-03-08]
Not quite as good as the first KOTOR, but still worth buying especially at this price.

The game was ported directly from the xbox like the first game but where as the first one was tweaked to take advantage of the PC, this one is pretty much ported directly over with no changes made. Because of this there are some glitches (especially if your using Vista, I had to replace my Mss32.dll file to get the game to load. And I had some issues with the video cutting out during cut scenes, had to turn the monitor off and on again to get the video back)

As for the game itself, the story line is not as strong as the first KOTOR and there are some pretty big holes in it also. Game play and Combat is pretty much identical to the first game so you'll feel right at home if you have played the first KOTOR already.

Great RPG even if you're not a big RPG fan [Posted on 2008-03-10]
I've never been a big fan of RPG games before but since I was looking for something completely different, I figured this would work. Took a chance and it paid off. I didn't give it 5 stars because the graphics aren't that good and it's got some hard things that you need to do. If you're a first time playing this type of game it might be hard for you (as it is for me).

I rather enjoy the game, it's a bit more challanging for me since I don't normally play RPG games so I'm sure others whom have played them for years would have no problem playing this game. I never played the first one so I wouldn't know about how this one is really different. If you like Sims 2, I think you'll like this game because that's all I used to play before this one.

Deep, Interesting, Fun Game [Posted on 2008-04-15]
The biggest thing I did not like about this game was trying to play it the second time through. Much of what I did was an exact repeat of before, just because the plot must advance the way it does. It just seems like, with such a complex game, they could have made more variety in it. But that's not a big drawback - certainly the first KOTOR did not have nearly as much variety as this one. The second biggest thing was that there weren't as many puzzles as in the first KOTOR - but I'm a math major and I like puzzles, so not everyone would probably find this a bad thing.

But the game is AMAZING overall! The puzzles are replaced by deep thought-provoking questions: what is good? What is bad? Ultimately, many good deeds or deeds that were done with good intentions, lead to bad things in the long run. And the logic is amazingly twisted (no spoilers): not only does one think that the Jedi ultimately did a bad thing for the Empire by attacking the Mandalorians because then the Sith invasion came, but also the Jedi who sat by and did nothing did a bad thing ultimately. So really, the right thing to do was uncertain, and it seems only those with the clearest vision can make the right choices: Revan. Thus one of the biggest points of the game was to make the player think grander thoughts: not to move the small pieces randomly, but to have a grand plan always and do small things, whether good or bad, in order to accomplish one's bigger plan. Doing small bad things can lead to greater good in the future and vice versa.

But other than the deep philosophical stuff, there is lots of great action, great new powers that are really fun to use, many fun missions, and especially an extremely well-done last mission where the graphics are just awesome. There are lots of places to choose light or dark, and sometimes when you think something will be a good choice it is not really, and vice versa. I personally thought it was harder to just choose a side (light or dark) and stick by it. I think this game is more complex in almost every way, but it is also more fun in most ways. Definitely a worthy sequel!

Lots of fun, not lots of SW [Posted on 2008-05-11]
This game is incredibly fun. It does everything the first did, but better and deeper. New everything, conversations are as great as ever. Story is debatably a tad worse, but that is definitely a matter of opinion not a matter of fact.

The place where it stumbles, however, is in its faithfulness to the lore. It gives it a brief friendly hug, but it doesn't embrace it the way it should. There are many parts that will leave you going "wtf?" and scrambling to try and find logic there. I'll give you a hint - it isn't there. This game has already been decanonized, thank God, so don't worry; you're not wrong, the game is. Again, however, it is a lot of fun, just don't take the lore aspect to seriously.

My Reviw Of KotOR 2 (Lightside and Male Character) [Posted on 2008-07-04]
**WARNING** This Review Contains Some Spoilers!!

KotOR 2 The Sith Lords, Despite being one of the most sad games youll ever play, is extraordinarily great despite being rushed out the door.

It says that your character from the previous game went missing and its all depressing because instead of Thinking you lived happily ever after and had little revans with bastila, Your character is Presumed dead.

It also took to long and the opportunities to get influence were to spread out, and this proved to be very frustrating because when you get influence you can talk to your characters and especially Kreia, T3-M4 and HK-47 and find out what the freaking hell hapened to Your Character from kotor1.

Plus, all the major things that happen with your character happen at the end so, for example atton becomes a jedi 2 minutes before you go to malachor!

But the Story line is very Gripping and I sometimes get choked up towards the end when you watch whatever the heck the ship you fly away on fly off into the galaxy.

In other news, the only few bugs I have encountered are when in speech it zooms through the response to when you respond, and you have no idea what the npc just said.

There are also a few bugs with atris' academy on telos when you first go there.

This game is sweet, but It is a CRIME how the game developers rushed it out the door. This game... It coulve been great. =(
but if i had a choice id choose the first one over this one.
