A decent sequel
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.

almost perfect if only there wasent content cut
This is by far the best rpg game I have ever played in my life after playing kotor oblivion and mass effect kotor 2 is still the best if content was not cut from the game it would be perfect also a lack of romance or love in the story but never the less the game is very good i will have to see if the resteration mod for this game acuacly makes it complete but still even if it disapointes the game rocks sadly to not to many good rpgs are made nowadays but people will forget about this game because to many peole put it down but that is a discusion for aanother time any way best game ever

KOTR 2
KOTR 2 had a lot of stuff i disliked. it was ok 3 star fun rating 4 star perfromence rating.
DISLIKES
1. The big thing i didn't like in KOTOR 2 was the massive amounts of enemys. Such as in onderon there was at least 12 bounty hunters plus the leader. The tons of enemys throughout the game were hard to beat when you started off. but when you got strong enough, sure it was fun to watch your sith or jedi cut down like 20 sith troopers, but eventually it just became a nunsience. Everytime you'd see them up ahead you'd have to sigh. Onderon was filled with this both the first and second visit.
2. The second thing is the party related stuff. Such as Onderon when you have to choose three party members to attack The Temple and then send the rest to Iziz. Now they only give you 2 companions that have Jedi Ablities (Kreia and Visas). It doesn't allow you to take kreia and everyone beside the handmaiden can't hold their own with a viroblade. Also you need Bao-dur to disarm the sith defenses and Madalore to keep everyone alive, so left me to choose visas as my last party member. It was hard enough to get into the sith tomb but when you reach the center. Theres 4 sith armed with lightsabers. Now Bao-dur gets cutdown in a second and Madalore dies after repeated shots. That leaves visas all alone against, maybe 3 sith barely weakened. The way i actually beat this was running around the tomb until my force came back and shocking the sith till death. Ulitimetly your party members are nothing compared to anyone that has a lightsaber or force powers.
3. The third and final thing that made the game bad was the horrible storyline, graphics, and Planets. First of all the games extremly easy to figuire out but they put a tutorial. while it is optional its a waste of loading time which is like gold in this game. Peragus was horrible. Having to run around and fight droids that can't take one shock or viroblade slash was horrible. Kreia and Attons horrible role in this might have something to do with it. When you finally get a three person party to have to fight off invisable sith assains who are extremly annoying. but the story doesn't get any better throughout the game. Picking up party members is like adding a dead body to your body count. You see once you have a set party they should be who you keep because everyone else dies too fast. The graphics made the ebonhawk and peragus an overall annoying experience. The thing that really made me mad was throughout the game you would be taunted by finding out what happened to reven like bastilas holocron and the cave temple. I thought that maybe Revan could be the key to the entire once you disposed of the sith lords but it was like they'd put it in your head and then be like nah we were just kdding. I know this would be hard to pull off but it would be worth it.
Now the game overall is an ok sequel. However you have to find some way to keep yourself entertained fighting hoardes of annoying enmeys and horrible storylines. However the game should be bought if you played and beat the first one. What i am hoping is that they'll make a thrid one that dips more into the after story such as you get to lead the sith or get another mission like going into the unknown. You know if you were evil in the first and second ones you were disappointed when you weren't able to go back and fight the jedi masters and conquer planets. I think the game should have that crucial descion at the end but that descion should lock your faction in good or evil and then you would have to go on another quest in which if your evil maybe reclaim the star forge and use its power on the plants you've allready traveled and fighting jedi on the way and former party members that left when you made the descion. The same thing for good execept you would have to track down the remaining sith and work you way up to becoming the ulitamate jedi master.

4 out of 5 stars because if they had put some thought into it, this game would have won an award like the first one.
I REALLY like the game, but the first one was much better written. Some of the storyline was a little disapointing, it seems like they were in too much of a hurry to get the game out than to think it out and finish the storyline, but still lots of fun - wether you're light - OR - dark side.
