 I woke up this morning with a deep seated desire to play KOTOR... August 10, 2008
The second-generation of BioWare's wonderful rpgs (preceeded by the inovative KOTOR and followed by Mass Effect, which will change the face of rpgaming forever), KOTOR II: The Sith Lords suffers only from being the middle child in a family of brilliant games. Where KOTOR was the first of its kind, with the ability to choose your path and play your way, The Sith Lords brings little new to the game besides new story.
*SPOILERS* You are the nameless Jedi Exile (cannonically female, incontrast to the male Reven from KOTOR I), banished from the republic for your part in the Mandalorian War. But now you have returned, the last Jedi to remain. Charismatic to a fault, if you rise into the Light your companions will rise with you, if you fall into the Dark they will fall with you. Love, like in BioWare's other rpgs, ensues in the cold metal of the Ebon Hawk (misteriously now in the pocession of the Exile). If you are female, you have the tragically devoted love of the simpering Disciple. If male, the half-alien Handmaiden earns your love. They along with the rest of your organic companions can become Jedi to repopulate the republic (in a strictly Jedi sense of course). *END SPOILERS*
In short, if you loved KOTOR, get KOTOR II: The Sith Lords. If you're new to the series, you'll love this. If your not, you'll like this game better. Still play, just be warned its not he original, despite the better graphics.
 Wonderful Game! August 9, 2008
As a preface to this review, let me say that there is a common problem with this game not having sound on Windows Vista,
this can usually be fixed by replacing a dll file which can be downloaded here:
files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/;6695046;/fileinfo.html
I did not know this however, so I played through the the entire game without sound because the game is that good.
After I found the solution to the sound problem, the game became even better, which is saying a lot.
Be warned though, this game is a mix of a lot of dialog sequences and battle sequences,
you have to like this genre to like all the dialog.
The story however (which is driven by the dialog sequences), is compelling, although somewhat incomplete,
but the incompleteness will be mostly fixed by a mod for this game that's 3+ years in the making,
just google "TSLRP"
Also, while the story of this game isn't dependent on having played the first game,
you will get more out of the story if you have played it.
I hope that you find this review helpful...
My Reviw Of KotOR 2 (Lightside and Male Character) July 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
**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.
Lots of fun, not lots of SW May 11, 2008
This game is incredibly fun. It does everything the first did, but better and deeper. New everything, conversations are as great as ever. Story is debatably a tad worse, but that is definitely a matter of opinion not a matter of fact.
The place where it stumbles, however, is in its faithfulness to the lore. It gives it a brief friendly hug, but it doesn't embrace it the way it should. There are many parts that will leave you going "wtf?" and scrambling to try and find logic there. I'll give you a hint - it isn't there. This game has already been decanonized, thank God, so don't worry; you're not wrong, the game is. Again, however, it is a lot of fun, just don't take the lore aspect to seriously.
Deep, Interesting, Fun Game April 15, 2008

The biggest thing I did not like about this game was trying to play it the second time through. Much of what I did was an exact repeat of before, just because the plot must advance the way it does. It just seems like, with such a complex game, they could have made more variety in it. But that's not a big drawback - certainly the first KOTOR did not have nearly as much variety as this one. The second biggest thing was that there weren't as many puzzles as in the first KOTOR - but I'm a math major and I like puzzles, so not everyone would probably find this a bad thing.
But the game is AMAZING overall! The puzzles are replaced by deep thought-provoking questions: what is good? What is bad? Ultimately, many good deeds or deeds that were done with good intentions, lead to bad things in the long run. And the logic is amazingly twisted (no spoilers): not only does one think that the Jedi ultimately did a bad thing for the Empire by attacking the Mandalorians because then the Sith invasion came, but also the Jedi who sat by and did nothing did a bad thing ultimately. So really, the right thing to do was uncertain, and it seems only those with the clearest vision can make the right choices: Revan. Thus one of the biggest points of the game was to make the player think grander thoughts: not to move the small pieces randomly, but to have a grand plan always and do small things, whether good or bad, in order to accomplish one's bigger plan. Doing small bad things can lead to greater good in the future and vice versa.
But other than the deep philosophical stuff, there is lots of great action, great new powers that are really fun to use, many fun missions, and especially an extremely well-done last mission where the graphics are just awesome. There are lots of places to choose light or dark, and sometimes when you think something will be a good choice it is not really, and vice versa. I personally thought it was harder to just choose a side (light or dark) and stick by it. I think this game is more complex in almost every way, but it is also more fun in most ways. Definitely a worthy sequel!
