"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.

"Classic"
I lost one of the discs to this game and then got an itch to play it again... so I purchased another copy. yes it's that good (Classic)

"Very fun game for Jedi Fans!"
I agree with most of the reviews in that this games does have a few bugs. I personally don't mind because it doesn't affect my gameplay that much. There are a few patches out there but I haven't downloaded them yet.
Anyway...This is ONE FUN GAME. True it's not that heavy on plot, but it IS a lot of fun to rip through enemies with the most powerful weapon in the galaxy! And like KOTOR 1, you get to upgrade your lightsaber with different (i.e. more powerful) crystals, AND other components (like different lenses, emitters, and power cells, unlike KOTOR 1 where you could only add 2 crystals at a time and nothing else).

One reviewer was dissapointed that he didn't start out with a lightsaber right away and shelved the game. If he had continued, he would know that his character is a Jedi outcast and the lightsaber was taken from him/her by the Jedi Counsel-but fear not, it short order he/she will construct a NEW lightsaber, and a deadlier one than before to be sure!

I won't go through the details, but if you're a Jedi-wannabe at heart, THIS is the game for you. MUCH better than Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast. You choose if you want you chracter to be male or female, and then a Jedi sentinel, consular, or gaudian (each class has pros and cons, i.e. consular is more focused on the force and acquires force powers more rapidly, and guardians are more combat focused and acquire combat feats more rapidly). The sentinel is kind of in the middle.
And then as you're playing the game, your actions and the way to treat others determines if you're heading down the path of the dark side or the light side. And one of the cool features in this game is that your actions will influence you companions, and they will begin to take on your traits as well. And, your character's alignment later determines if you move on to higher Jedi or Sith classes, like Jedi Master, Watchman, or Weaponmaster, or Sith Lord, Marauder, or Assassin. Each class has it's own pros and cons as far as force abilities and combat abilities. AND, your character's gender determines WHO joins your group. If you're a man, you'll get a certain (rather attractive) female Jedi apprentice (although she's not really a Jedi until your influence with her is high enough and you train her). If you're a female character, you get a certain (kinda dorky) man to join your group who can become a Jedi with your training as well. AND further still, your alignemnt will also determine if one particularly spunky rogue-esque chracter to join (who can become a Jedi), and if you're dark sided, you will get an evil wookie to join your party at one point (you can't train him to be a Jedi, but he kicks butt anyway).

Why do I tell you all of this? Because depending on how you play and set you chracter up, you have the potential to play several different versions of this game. The plot and ending are still the same, but it's a little different each time in this respect.

Bottom line, the game's not perfect, but it's VERY fun. Try to find it used and pay 15 bucks or so for it...it's well worth it! I just can't wait for KOTOR 3 to be announced!!!!!
