**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.
Not perfect, but still worth it

You may have heard that this game is full of bugs and plot holes. And yes, to a certain extent that is true. It is also an involving game with great characters who are intelligent enough to notice what you're doing (with the influence system, characters will hold it against you if you insult them, like you more if you kill someone they think doesn't deserve to live, etc.).
You will need to save a lot of games to guard against crashes, but unless it is even more buggy than usual on your computer, the story and gameplay will distract you from it.

In a lot of ways this game is much deeper than the original. The story is darker and the characters are more interesting. It feels more replayable to me as well, in large part because of the new influence bit where you loose or gain influence over the crew based on what you say to or do around them. Its just about impossible to actually get everything out of every character the first time though.
Unfortunately the ending is terrible. It feels like they just tossed it out without any real thought behind it. Its a very big let down and fails to really make sense of the rest of the game (which it desperately needed to do).
Additionally the game is buggy as heck. My favorite was the invisible walls that you run into occasionally.
Sometimes the plot doesn't really follow coherently either and suddenly the promts that come up have you talking to characters about things you shouldn't know yet. I also wish it wouldn't auto-send you places. It would be nice to say 'hey I want to finish exploring _____ planet before I run off to save the galaxy and the game is over.'
If you blow off the ending the game is good, if not quite up to par with the original. For all its issues it is fun and interesting for the most part, which makes it even more a shame that it seems unfinished.
This Game is pretty sweet.

This game is pretty sweet. The first one had a better storyline and the responses of the characters changed more often. The NPC's in this game say the same things throughout the entire game.
Good at the beginning, but ends abruptly and weakly

There's another thoughtful review online,"half a great game," which is also right on track. I'm going to be saying a lot of the same things. First, I have in fact played the game to the finish. At the beginning it feels very much like KOTOR1; the interface is similar, somewhat improved, the story is similarly enigmatic, your ship is the same Ebon Hawk and the process of gathering companions into your party is similar (although more drawnout; you won't find the last one until possibly 75% through the game). It's definitely fun to play at this stage. However, the story is a weakness all the way through the game. There are many scenes where you only vaguely have the feeling of why you're doing things,especially at the very beginning and the very end. The story also spends a lot of time hinting that there's something intrinsically wrong with you, and if you play for the same reason I do, that you want the chance to "be" a Jedi, noble, strong and good, this may not feel right. At many times I was uncomfortable with the details being revealed about who my character was. It also takes forever to get your lightsaber so you can be a Jedi -- that part is FAR too long. And there are plenty of terrible tragedies that you are helpless to prevent, etc. The ending is also incredibly weak. The story is so compressed that some of the necessary details to understand what's going on appear as game hints or "messages" flashed on the screen when you save (these can be read more easily by going through your journal screen, by the way, so you don't miss any). The ending is threaded with story lines that go nowhere, hints of future action that never take place, a critical character that it seems you should be looking for, but you never get to find. And the final scene is nonexistant. The game ends with a final stroke of a lightsaber, and drops you abruptly back to the menu screen. Done. No fanfare, and no indication of how you and your friends get off this rock of a planet you end up on, or even who is still alive. The designers definitely owe us a sequel game, one that is well put together all the way through. Having said this about all the flaws in the game,if you loved KOTOR1 you definitely may choose to play this one (and enjoy it $30 worth), and I have these suggestions so you enjoy it as much as possible: your character is totally different from the first game, so choose another name for yourself OTHER than the one you used the first time. During the first part of the game you have many opportunities in dialogs to tell the game details about the end of KOTOR1 (so this game knows the ending you chose), your gender in the last game, and your mindset in the pre-game history of your new character. Pick a story as best you're able, don't let the overlapping dialogs confuse you, stick to your proverbial guns. The game is buggy about things like your previous gender, and the story is conveluted about the transition between games, AND many (most!) of the characters are untrustworthy as far as being willing or able to tell you what happened or what *is* happening. Consider the source of what you're being told, and stick to the story as you want it to be. Finally, I thought it was a huge flaw in the story that during the very long first scenes, which feature the best KOTOR1 gameplay and best story, you're forced to go without a lightsaber. This is unfixable (by you); you really do have to get off Pergus AND Telos in order to get your saber. Consider going to Dantooine next, even though the game strongly hints that this should be the last place you go. On most of your other choices you'd have to wait until the end of the action on the planet to get your saber, and on Dantooine you should do better. And don't wait around on Onederon when you have to wait for an appointment, it turns out there's no reason to. These are my suggestions -- hope they help! BB

some technical issues, but overall a deep well thoughtout game. While fun, the game does follow the first game perhaps too closely.
Good and Bad at the same time.

Much better game then the first in terms of its plot. The Story is more in-depth, Why are the Jedi the way they are? Why are the Sith the Way they are? What does it matter to people stuck in the middle? The voice acting is excellent and the gameplay is wonderful for the most part. HK-47 also makes an apperence which is always a plus.
That part is good. The rest of the game isn't so good
Where is all the playful banter from the first one? Most of what keep me interested in the first one was the bickering between Canderous Odo and Jooli Binjo .
What good is an influence system when the chances to use it are few and far between?
30 Hours of Gameplay???????? I mean yes I bought the game at 19.99 but 30 hours in Knights of the Old Republic 1 I had just made it off Taris. Why cut out half the game for early holiday release if it was only going to lead to unstable product with large plot holes?
For example `m not going to raise the Telos fuel supply issue because that's been dealt with but if you go dark something funny happens. When you as Hanharr kill Mira the next cutscean you see is Kira giving Hanharr the same lecture as she did had you decided to go dark. Would it have been to much to ask that they try to cover up glaring idiocy like this? What's a gamer supposed to do? Not notice these things? Now Lucas Arts is not only robbing me they are insulting my intelligence.
Overall-I don't have a problem with the game itself I have a problem with the way it was marketed and managed. It could have been better then the first if it had been properly developed.
KOTOR2 - Continue to get better, this means YOU!

I am sincerely annoyed at how broken this game is. I mean that literally and in the "unfinished" sense. Don't know what I mean? Look up information of the game and search for terms like "Team Gizka" and you'll learn soon enough. The game is a worthy play however, with much untapped potential and a deeper continuation of the story laid out in KOTOR. Seriously, devs and publishers, finish the games you make BEFORE you release them and take a tip from some of the competition - stop setting your clientele up for headaches by shipping broken games. You've plenty of money/funding, make bloody good use of it please! I await KOTOR 3 should cooler/smarter heads prevail to get this done properly.
