This game is easier to play than most games, especially the Star Wars group of games and is very enjoyable. It's one of my favorites!

It's a fun game whether you are a star wars fan or not. It has good story and good game play. The game play is very much like the first. There are a few problems when to select and object and your character gets stuck trying to run to it. And the game becomes rather easy once you start getting into the higher levels. Other than that it is a solid RPG.

Not living up to the original. But still pretty good.

KOTOR 1 would be on my top 3 games of all time with it's compelling story and great characters.
The original's gameplay mechanic are still here, and some new improvements as well - including new fighting styles and weapon customizing.

If you have read my KOTOR review you know I love Star Wars, espiecaly KOTOR but 2 is just filled with problems.

Pros
- More weapons and combat styles then the original {more feats is the best along with force power improvements}
- Music as good as the original
- Beautifull, explorable enviroments
- stays true to the KOTOR course
- Your allies follow your jedi ways and light/dark side.

Cons
- Characters are knowhere as interesting as the originals characters and seem to have no real effect in the games story.
- The story is ok but not as well scripted as the 1st one.
- No challenge what so ever when compared to the original.
- You fight large #'s of enemies that at times don't even fit with the story and they keep coming and it takes nothing to kill them making the game unrealistic.

I like this game, but not as much as the first. The main reason I bought it was to just see what happens next in the KOTOR story.
The main problem I have is the large # of enemies and how it is unnessasary they are in the gameplay and how easy they are.
You didn't fight too large a group in the first one making it more realistic to me. Doors also didn't open with just one security skill later in the game.

Obsiedion did an ok job but Bioware needs to work on KOTOR 3.

Great Star Wars game!!!

This game also rocks. There are lots of fascinating levels like Citadel Station and Iziz & Onderon. You can create the maincharacter or you can choose a Standart character with a Standart name. Kotor II has lots of exciting moments ans I think that this game is also one of the best Star Wars games. BUY IT!

good, but not great

while i wasn't a huge fan of the original (it was ok) this game is pretty much the same. nothing really new except for new powers, characters, storyline. there really is no jedi training this time around because like in the first the main character you play was once a jedi but was exiled. right now i'm lvl 16 and on the moon Nar Shadaa. here are the horrible things i have found in this game so far...

- Incredible framerate drop in some battles. I seriously thought my game crashed because everything froze during combat and i couldnt do jack until the framerate got better.

- Loading times are horrendous sometimes. Races are the worst.

- AI is more than dumb. Sometimes while fighting, my 2 partners would just stand around with thumbs in their butts not doing anything. Also, they frequently get stuck on eachother and stuck on walls, etc. It's so annoying. One more problem with my teammates AI...if there are mines in front of enemies they will charge right through the mines like they never saw them and then attack the enemy on the other side, thus taking heavy damage. How dumb is that???

Those are pretty much the only bugs in the game but they can be very frustrating. I guess if there are positive things about this game they are...

- Powerful force powers (force lightning rips through everything).

- Playing the dark side always kicks butt. Getting to beat down innocent civilians is fun stuff (i wish you could kill every npc in the game. that would be cool)

When all said and done this is a good star wars game that is plagued with bugs. if you loved the first, you won't love this one...you'll probably just like it. i always hated starwars games' storylines and this game doesn't get better with it. still a pretty good game though.

sooooooooooooooooooooo asome

First of all, the first KOTOR was an excellent game and I enjoyed it a lot. It was unlike any other game and it was the first of the star wars games where you can choose your path. The second one however wasn't anywhere near as good as the first. It lacked in many things and it seemed as if Lucas arts didn't put any effort into the game and they just decided to throw another KOTOR out there because the first one made a lot of money. This isn't too surprising because lucas arts has done this many times, they arn't too well of a game creating company.
KOTOR 2 is not a horrible game, but don't think it is any better than the first or even as good. The fact that you are already a jedi is cool but its like you dont get a lightaber for a while, and you dont just get one, you have to find the things to make it so it can even take longer than the first. The STORY LINE is horrible and it makes the game really boring. The first had a great story line, but this one is bad. It just sort of throws you out there and its almost a repeat of the first. Like the first the storly line has you specially connect with another jedi I got bored of this fact and the story line has no specific objectives. It is just basically kill one master jedi on each planet. And you get confused because you can just leave and fly to any planet without doing the objective so then you get lost and you can think you're done with a planet but you really aren't and you start wondering what you still have to do to beat the game. The story line also keeps you confused by having you not know a lot of things that happened in the past because it isnt a continuation of the first. Its like you dont know what gooing on through the whole game.
The gameplay is basically the same thing as the first and has nearly no differences. The wierd thing is that your party members also follow you to whichever path you take. And say you choose to go to the darkside, when you do something bad like kill someone good your party members always ask why they went with the flow. And its like everytime, it got really annoying. The game also tends to slow down and freeze for a second or two during the play. The worst with that situation is the menu. When you hit pause it takes a second to get there and when you switch to a different option in the menu it stalls for a second.
The graphics are a little bit better than the first not a lot though. The graphics are probably a real low in this game because all the other games during this time have good graphics, but the graphics for this game are like 2 years ago. And the game has rarely any cinematechs and all they are are your ship flying to a different planet or going into hyperspace.
The game does have some good points like the new force powers you get and the game still has that cool feeling of turning to the darkside and choosing your path like you really are a jedi. There is a problem with the whole fact of the changing sides thing though. Its like if you turn to the darkside you really aren't joining any sith in the game, you just make your own side sort of. Its like you turn to the darkside and you're evil but the sith still want you dead and they still fight you and you still want to kill them and the jedi are still like on your side even when you're evil.
Overall the game is very boring and the one thing RPG games need is an excellent story line and this one does not at all. And the game feels more like an unfinished game. If you have the first and want more, i still recommend this game but dont get your hopes up for it being as good as the first. If you dont have the first one the get the first one, it is far more better than this one.

Good, but unfinished and not at the level of the first...

The title says it all. This game was rushed to the market before it could be finished. The storyline has potential, it builds a hype during the game but it cannot conclude everything properly. The game is still great, but it's not at the same level of the first one.

KotoR was a gem, this one is a good game, so in comparison it is beneath expectations. Still, it is fun to play. It has intersting quests and characters, as well as a nostalgic and dark feel.

The gameplay has been improved in some minor ways, but overall it remains the same as the first. The droids HK47 (coolest character in the saga) and T3 are back, as well as a cameo from a Jedi Master.

The story is a lot darker than the first, though there are not any epic twists. The music is still top notch anad the graphics are better, although the frame rate is a "little" annoying during heavy battles.

Still, the replay value is high and the game is fun, which is the point of a game after all. It's not epic, but still fun.

There's also a demo of Republic comando in the game for those interested.

1st one better, but still buy it.

The game is fun like the 1st and longer. The larger number of characters and force moves are the only thing that make it better than the 1st, but that still doesn't mean its bad. Although it was longer it was much easier, on the first i had to try, on this i just had to work out where to go next, by the end my character was invincible. The only problems i had with the game is that you pick up much less lightsabers that the first so it is hard to distribute them between you and your jedi friends. The final boss was very easy, and i would comment on the end but since there wasn't enough cutscene or story to even form a true ending it is hard to say anything.
It is worth buying, because the 1st one can get boring after playing it over and over again.

Great Game but not as Good as the Original

The Sequel to 2003's Game of the Year could possibly be as good as it's predecessor but it's not. It's not a bad game it's just when you have game that was as successful as KOTOR1 it's hard to work off that and make it better.

So let me entertain you with the story so far.

It has been 5 years since the events in KOTOR1 the former Sith Lord Darth Revan has not been seen since he destroyed the Star Forge in the Rakata system. Instead of the defeat of Darth Malak and the supposed death of the Sith in the Galaxy being beneficial to the Republic, it has instead weakened it, and sown descent among some of the worlds on the Outer Rim such as Onderon. You play as a Veteran of the Mandalorian Wars and an Exile of the Jedi Order, get used to being called the Exile a lot. You have wandering around Republic space since your Exile after the end of the Mandalorian and it has come to a head when a Sith Cruiser attacks your ship and knocks you into a catotonic state. You are then rescued by the crew of the freighter, the Ebon Hawk (that's right you ride the Hawk here too) but then they are attacked by the Sith and cause the death of all but 2 of the people on the ship the Exile and an old woman. Your ship is repaired and eventually saved by an old friend, the astromech droid T3-M4 is able to guide the ship to a mining station in the asteroid field of Peragus II. You awaken in a kolto tank being the only one alive all the miners in the medbay around you are dead. You then discover your rescuer an old Jedi Master named Kreia who seems to have shared the same fate as you as being exiled. This is where your story begins.

Pros and Cons!!!

Pros - There is a link from the first KOTOR to this one you will see some of the old characters from the last game in this one, hell some of them will even join you!

Prestige Classes - That's right people, when you hit Level 18 you can gain a prestige class. Now how you benefit from the prestige class depends on your starting class so choose wisely!!

More interaction with your Companions - This is a really cool part of this game, instead of having pre-trained jedi, like Bastilla, Jolee, or Juhani you can play Teacher to numerous members of the Ebon Hawks crew and craft a virtual militia of jedi. To do this you must gain influence, yep, influence, say something your companions like or appeal to their ego you will gain their influence and gain 1 step closer to making them a jedi.

Miner Pro - you actually get to have a real jedi robe with all the flowy in the back and a hood and such, just adds to the whole attitude of a jedi.

Cons!!

Lightsaber Aquisition - (1 sentence) You get your lightsaber at least 3 hours into the game maybe more if your not quick to apply to the game.

Enemies - These guys are almost too easy to defeat, if you train vigirously and become a purge to your enemies they won't last at least 2 minutes against you maybe less. So not much of a challenge for those of you that like one.

In my opinion it's an overall good game it just slips on some of the stuff that KOTOR1 made successful.
