Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (PC Games, 2005)

If you played KotOR 1, I recomend you play this one too. The play style is much the same. The only thing they added are some new force powers. Aside from that, the controls, UI, and actions are basically all the same.

The story in this one is much different than the last, although the last one does tie into this one. Depending on certain answers you give to questions about what happened in the last game, certain things will be said/heard later on.

One of my favorite parts about this one rather than the first was the ability to influence your crew. I thought this was a great additino. By doing things, evil or good, you gain influence or lose it with members of your crew. ALso, your alignment greatly affects theirs as well. Some you can even teach to be Jedi, with enough influence. This aspect of the game makes it very apealing throughout the entire plotline.

The major drawback to this game is the conclusion. The story just kind of builds up throughout the game and then meanders on to the end. And the ending itself is a huge let down.

If you liked KotOR I would play this for sure. If you haven't, then I would still recomend it, though less highly.

The excellent Bioware title, KOTOR I, was really a spectacular game. I recommend it for any fan of the Star Wars genre. In KOTOR II - they tried to improve on the original - and came very close to succeeding - with more and better features such as being able to influence your party members, creating new items, more item possibilities, new combat styles, etc. A few things however detract from this mission - 1. Bugs! Save often in different places and be prepared to get stuck for no reason. Graphics often bug out as well - and that is with the patch, which is an absolute necessity. 2. Weak ending - play the whole game on difficult - that is the only way any of it is at all challenging. 3. Story is not as strong as Kotor I and at times can be a touch contrived.

All that said - if you have the patience for all that - there is a lot to like about KOTOR II - in many ways it is even more replayable than KOTOR I.

excellent seller all around. The game doesn't work because of a my computer. I might try to fix this. not sellers fault

Loved the first one, rented it first, then bought it. Played and beaten it on light and dark side about 10 times (each!) Still never gets old, storyline is amazing!!!
Still waiting on the second one just bought on ebay about 2 days ago, cant wait!! As long as the gameplay is fun I dont care about the ending.

This is a hot game i've always liked it. You get to choose your own path the light or dark and even in between. Beautiful graphics i recommend it to everyone. 6 different types of title for the characcters to choose from and choose how they look.

Played through light and dark, so many choices- so little time, lots of secrets to find. Playing through again right now!

I've been end this game 3 times, and about to start it a 3th time, just love is just the bast star wars game ever it and love the way the game play changes with how you develop your character

I was in the middle of playing the original Knights of the Old Republic when I said to myself, I should be able to get the second pretty cheap. I did and it was a good decision. It's a great game that unfortunately could have been greater. Leave it to rushed deadlines to really mess things up. Nonetheless, it's still an amazing game that anyone who enjoys RPGs and killing things with lightsabers. Mmm, mmm. Lightsabers.

Have Fun with it if you get it!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (KotOR II) is a role playing video game released for the Xbox and Microsoft Windows. The Xbox version of this sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was released on December 6, 2004, while the Windows version was released on February 8, 2005. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by LucasArts. The music score was composed by Mark Griskey.

Knights of the Old Republic II: the Sith Lords is a title that will seem very familiar to anyone who played the original KOTOR. The problem there lies in the fact that it's almost TOO similar.

Despite coming out a few years later, the graphics are identical to the first installment. KOTOR II takes this a step further because if you played the original, you will recognize some of the map locations. Particularly caves and fields are dead ringers for the original, making the game feel rushed in places. The controls are also a bit clumsier than KOTOR, which doesn't really make sense for a sequel to take steps backward in gameplay.

The cast of characters is expanded from the original, but some of the weaker characters really aren't worth playing. For example: three playable droids and a tech specialist? Karth and Bastila do make cameos, but aren't playable. Hey, at least you get a wookie and a Jedi assassin.

Some old favorites are back as far as force powers go, choke, lighting, insanity, lightsaber throw etc. There are also some new spices thrown in to look forward to (watch out for force crush, whew man). There's also an interesting option where your character can select force persuasion as a power, which leads to extra dialouges in conversations (think "these aren't the droids you're looking for"). In one instance, again on dark side, I remember talking a guy into jumping off a bridge, thinking that the landing will be much softer that way.

Many of the rewards for in game activities, particularly if you play dark side, come in the form of money, or credits in the Star Wars world. I found this to be frustrating because, unlike KOTOR, there is nothing to buy at the end of the game to make all the side quests feel worth while. No super light saber crystals or juiced up armors, and there are no advantages to having more money than God at the end of the game.

The plot also leaves something to be desired. Like KOTOR, you wake up in a strange place with no memories or who you are or how you got there, and the plot revolves around an all to familiar journey of self discovery. This game lacks the sense of purpose that the first one had, and most of the game is just flying to different worlds with no real explanation. There are choices between good and evil, but neither greatly affect the outcome. Not to give anything away, but it's hard not to see the ending coming from the very first opening sequence.

All in all this was a fun game, but not nearly as quality an experience as the first one. If you've played KOTOR and are itching for more, I would give this game a try, otherwise just stick to the original.

I enjoyed this game greatly and can recommend it to any RPG fan. I've played through once and even though I liked and it and choose different types of Jedi, I'll send this one to my donation pile. Nonetheless, it offered hours of interesting combat and force powers. I am eager to play the next iteration in the Old Republic series!

A very fast paced RPG. Has interesting story line and I enjoy how your actions affect how the game plays out.

I bought this game because I am a Star Wars Fan. I like how you can create your own charaters. I like the way the charater level up setup is done. Overall this game is really good. If your a star wars fan this is a must have for your video game collection.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 (KOTOR2 henceforth) is a fitting, turn based combat rpg following up the story five years after the events in KOTOR1. For me it featured about 25-30 hours of solid playing time, fairly good for the genre. Like it's original, KOTOR2 delivers a riveting storyline and a great cast of characters. In a way, you can't help but feel like the director of your own Star Wars movie.

I'd like to point out the problems, and I'm sure they're mostly on my end. I'm running a rather new Vista based computer. I was exceptionally happy with the fact it played (after the gameplay patch anyway). The graphics are good quality, but it didn't feel like to huge of an upgrade from KOTOR. A lot of times things feel somewhat incomplete and just barely shelf worthy. There are bugs, so you find yourself hitting F4(quick save) often. Sometimes, dialog would just flyby, like it's missing the voiceacting or something. It's rather annoying. I haven't experienced it with my new headset, so it might of been my problem.

All in all, a true classic for the genre that belongs in your collection of games. Everyone should play it once, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

The game itself was in great condition and had very few tiny scratches on one disk, the rest of them nearly flawless. The case, however, arrived cracked and broken, which may have been because of the postal service, and was a very small problem overall.
