Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords - Xbox

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay  
Loved it!Story sucks though

The story is fairly high quality and fun to experience, I'd say if you can make it through the first two or so hours of the game (the tutorial) then you will probably really enjoy this. Combat is fun and you truly feel a sense of progression as you move from location to location and you gain experience and levels.

The only major gripes about this game was that it needed another planet for length(still around 20 hours I just love games that are 24+ hours long though) and the tutorial level is extremely annoying, and cannot be skipped. It took me about two hours at a reasonable pace the first time through the tutorial which is essentially a mini level. I would have also like a little more customization. I felt that my characters were the same every time. Maybe in the third game they could add in a system to color things to customize them, or maybe a crafting system? I would suggest this game and its predecessor Knights of the Old Republic as well, I still go back and play this game often.

Second Verse Better Than the First!

KotOR II took the best technical aspects of the first game and improved upon them, but all of those hours must have been in lieu of creating a storyline on par with its predecessor. Despite the lack of stellar scripting, I believe the overall gameplay improved over the first game and is worth the buy. Grab it wherever you can and add it to your collection immediately. You'll be very pleased you did.

Not as good as first KOTOR

Star Wars KOTORII. Probably not as intoxicating as the first Star Wars game. But the storyline is probably more interesting than its predecessor. Another interesting characteristic about this game is as you gain more influence with party members (by supporting their ideas) specific party members can be trained in the way Jedi. I am awaiting the next KOTOR game and I hope it will be a little better than this one.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 2

This is one of the greatest rpg's of all time, and subseqently one of the greatest xbox games as well. I hate rpgs, but both Kotor's have made me a slave to their gameplay. And while many people will say that this game isn't as good as the first one, it's still a classic in it's own right. A definite must buy for Star Wars fans, xbox owners, rpg fans and anyone else that likes great games.

KOTOR 2

The storyline is great and I really enjoy the leveling up system. I wish there was a more details explanation of how the workbench works; maybe a preview of what items would be created. I am playing it right now and thoroughly enjoy it.
