I really don't know why they let anyone rate a game before its release. I mean what am I rating... hype. I give Bob in marketing a perfect 5 stars for this game, AWESOME job Bob!

On a more positive note, I'm pretty excited about this game. I played the first one till my DVD drive on the Xbox burned out and then replaced it and kept on playing. BTW playing dark side was a blast. Anyone gives you flak and CHOKE, AGGHGHGHGHGHGG. Moooowaahhahahhahahahahaha. Quick note, no matter how much people in real life tick you off, choke does not work outside of the game. And its not from lack of trying. It does however make for some funny antics when your stuck in traffic or in line behind an annoying person.

A promising sequel to a great game

The new knights of the old republic is going to be a dream for any star wars fan. The new story is five years after the original knights of the old republic. The entire jedi order has been hunted down except your character(and other outcasted jedi like yourself). The new enemy is Darth Sion, a living corpse that is constantly rotting and held together by his force powers.
Two new dark side powers are force scream and force crush. Scream is a ranged attack that kills or stuns all enemies in your characters vicinity while crush is when you levitate a characters body and literally crush their body from the inside out. The new characters are a jedi outcast like yourself and a female bounty hunter. Your light/dark side alignment also effects other characters in your party which is interesting. That is all i've heard about from this game. I hope this info is helpful.

GONNA BE THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

This game includes for light jedi: a Watchman, Master, or Weapons Master; and for the evil brother: An Assanssin, Lord, or Marauder. Yes it will be better than the 1st, get it or wait a month afterwards 'till the price drops. This just because it will almost definitly be $50.

If it follows suit..should be GREAT!

I am not exactly what you would call a "star wars fanatic" but I do like most of the Star Wars games produced by lucas arts. When Kights of the Old Republic came out, I hesitantly bought it not knowing what exactly it would be like. Well, I found out real fast that that game would easily make the top 10 list because it is SO interactive. KOTOR was done by Bio Ware, however KOTOR II has been handed over to Obsidian and they are picking up right where the original game left off.

The Basic story line stars the game off 5 years after the end of KOTOR. You are a jedi and have lost all of your force powers and lightsaber. You are "marooned" on an unfamiliar world and you must gain your powers back. You encounter various different creatures in KOTOR II than what were in KOTOR. Also...guess what..even though you destroyed Darth Malak at the end of KOTOR I..his counterpart is back and more deadly than ever. Darth Sion is the new master of the Sith armies. This guys is very interesting as he has had every bone in his body crushed and is basically a rotting corpse held together by force powers and his will to destroy the Light side.

As for the planets, so far there are only 2 or 3, but by the release date of December 2004, Im sure there will be more. Telos and Dxun are the two main planets right now and both are expansive worlds which will take a lot of time to explore. Im also sure that there a curious people out there wondering what force powers will be available..here they are: Force Crush (Dark side power), Battle Meditation (Neutral Power that only Bastila had in KOTOR), Force Sight (Neutral..allows Jedi to see inside the minds of people to see if they are "good or bad"), Force Scream (Dark Side power), and Force Fury (Dark Side power).

Yes, it does seem as if the Dark side has some better powers, but I am sure the Jedi will be equally as powerful. As for Bastila being in KOTOR II and continuing the "romance" between her and your Jedi, I don't know yet. Im sure she will make a brief appearance AT LEAST.

Once again this is a pre-release review so not everything is going to be like this in a couple of months, I will update this following suit with the game!

wtfffff this game isn't out yet.....

This game looks absolutely terrific. As being a Star Wars fan, this game is the sequel to the best Star Wars game ever made. The force powers are awesome and I like the ability to go to the light side or the dark side. HOW CAN YOU RATE THIS GAME 1 STAR? At least give it a couple.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 The Sith Lords.

Story Line: Five years after the events from the award winning Knights of the Old Republic, the Sith Lords have hunted the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin, the Republic's only hope is a Jedi Knight struggling to reconnect with the Force and faced with the galaxy's most dire decision: To follow the light or succumb to the dark side...

The Sith Lords is the next chapter to Knights of the Old Republic; winner of more than 35 "Game of The Year Awards" featuring an all-new and perilous storyline set approximately 4,000 years before Star Wars Episode I.

New Characters:
Mira: A bounty hunter scout who combs the Republic and the Outer Rim for anyone and anything with a price on its head, Mira reels them in and cashes them out. While driven by a mercenary need for cash, she avoids contract killing. In the past, she has killed only in self-defense, and even then reluctantly.
Mira comes equipped with bounty hunter-specific weaponry, including a versatile wrist-mounted rocket launcher that allows her to target a single opponent with concussion or tranquilizer darts, or decimate hordes of enemies with buster or ion rockets-the ideal way to level the playing field when you're outnumbered.

Atton Rand: Disaster follows Atton Rand wherever he goes. While his primary talent is cheating death just long enough to stumble into the next crisis, Rand is also a skilled pilot, mechanic, gambler and liar. He thinks of self-preservation before all else; barring that, his most pressing concern is finding the next cantina with a Pazaak game. Initially imprisoned on Peragus, he is one of the first companions the player encounters.
Rand is a solid fighter. He possesses a wide range of armor and weapon proficiencies and non-combat skills, while his preservation instinct actually makes him stronger the more dire the situation becomes. So long as another party member is standing, Rand cannot be knocked down, and he will stave off unconsciousness and keep fighting if he has party support. This survival instinct also makes Rand very difficult to stun, paralyze or poison.

Kreia: The elderly mentor Kreia forms a powerful telepathic bond with the player, determined to help him rediscover the ways of the Force. She is, in fact, quite willing to sacrifice herself if it means the player will survive and reconnect with his teachings. Throughout the game, Kreia will teach the player new ways to listen to the Force, permitting him to gain new powers and abilities.
When she is an active party member, Kreia gives everyone an earned experience bonus. Even better, the unique bond she shares with the player allows him to Force Chain attacks and defense. Any Force Power cast on Kreia or the player will be automatically applied to the other party members as well.

Old Characters:
T3-M4: His chassis dented and scored by blaster fire, T3 looks as if he's narrowly missed a proton core explosion or two. This battered astromech droid is the first character to appear in The Sith Lords. His opening mission is to repair the Ebon Hawk and pilot it to safety before it's crushed into space dust in the wilds of the Peragus asteroid field. Once docked at the Peragus mining facility, however, a much greater threat confronts the crew.
The talkative T3 communicates only with clicks and beeps, but he's got a grand story to tell and plays a pivotal role in the conflicts to come. He is an expert in security, demolitions, computers and mechanical repair, acting as a portable workbench for the player. The player uses him to break down equipment into its component parts, clearing inventory and assembling more powerful weapons and items.

New Planets:
Dxun and Onderon.
Peragus II.
Telos.
Dantooine.
Korriban.

New Force Powers:
Force Crush: This power enables a character to call upon the dark side of the Force to telekinetically shatter an opponent's body. With a single gesture, the character can lift an opponent into the air, then shatter the bones in his body, bypassing any armor or other defenses and leaving the opponent a quivering, bloody wreck. If the opponent is especially strong-willed or tough, they may fight off some of the effects by sheer force of will, but this power often kills any lesser beings it hits.

Battle Meditation: Battle Meditation is a rare and powerful skill that allows a Jedi to influence the outcome of even a large battle. The Jedi develops an image of the battle in their mind and projects it to both sides of the conflict, inspiring their own troops while demoralizing the enemy. Used in both small skirmishes and larger conflicts, Battle Meditation can turn the tide when needed most.

Force Scream: Masters of the dark side have learned to focus their rage into a primal scream that penetrates the very hearts of their enemies, leaving them crippled, weak, and confused - perfect victims for a more conventional massacre at the hands of the dark Jedi's minions.

Force Furry: Sith Marauders learn to feed upon their own hatred, filling themselves with the essence of the dark side until they erupt in a terrifying rage. While in this horrifying state, the marauder slaughters all nearby foes with furious abandon, their power growing with every kill.

Force Sight: This power allows a Jedi to see using the Force. Some obstacles can be seen through and sentients glow with an inner light based on their current alignment.

New Jedi Classes:
Jedi Master (Consular Type).
Jedi Weapons Master (Guardian Type).
Jedi Wathman (Sentinal Type).

New Sith Classes:
Sith Lord.
Sith Maurader.
Sith Assasin.

New Bad Guys:
Darth Sion: His body has been torn and knitted back together into a patchwork of mutilated flesh. His skeleton has been shattered and meticulously rebuilt. Darth Sion is a Sith Lord in eternal pain, his broken body held together by sheer force of will. Only his hatred and the power of the dark side keep him alive.
Sion is exceedingly difficult to kill-his mastery over his own battered body has lent him supernatural vitality, and his enduring agony has given him a threshold for pain and bodily harm far beyond that of a normal human. Or a Jedi.
Sion leads a sect of Sith assassins sent to wipe out the Jedi Order; his path and the player's will inevitably cross. Like most of the Sith, he is cold, calculating and brutal, delighting in the pain and suffering he inflicts.

New and Improved Additions:
New pazzak, swoop racing, and a new work bench.
New Character faces to choose from.
Characters follow the paths you choose (Light and Dark Side).

Update Information:
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 The Sith Lords has launched an official sight. Just go to www.LucasArts.com, double-click the picture of Kotor 2, and WHALA.

I do hope this is usefull information.
