  • Summary: The next chapter of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic begins with a new storyline, force powers, characters, classes, and locations.

As the last of the Jedi, you must master more than 30 new Force powers while battling your way through seven different worlds. This time, you can split your party to use several characters from your team for concurrent side quests.… Expand

    New powers, faster combat and new environments - such as Korriban, ancient Sith Lord burial ground - make this trip to KOTOR-ville more than just an Old Republic retread. [Jan 2005, p.54]

    You can forget about "Halo 2," "GTA:SA" and "Metroid Prime 2" this is the Game Of The Year (2004).

    Does this game come through for the hype behind it? Does a Wookie tear your arm off if you don't let him win? So if you have any interest in a compelling well-told story with good characters, dialogue, all rolled up into something that's fun to play then pick this game up. Could it have been better? Yes.

    As clumsy as some elements feel, it's still difficult to vilify KOTOR II. Its strength is in its ability to make you care about your character's fate, and as an RPG package it's as comprehensive as they come. [Feb 2005, p.70]

    Very enjoyable - I loved the first one - and one of the few games that gets me emotionally involved: I really care for these characters (at least the light sided ones). Which makes the flaws even harder to take - the let down ending which ends in a flash. Where were the characters meeting up to celebate and interact? There are other flaws: it's full of bugs though the cheats make you super powerful which is fun. Also, there are too many unnecessary characters: GO-TO was unused at any time. Also, Bao-Dor wouldn't speak to me and wouldn't follow me, even as a Jedi so I never got to use him at all, he would just stand at the start of the game and not move. The myriad of equipment is great, but all the types of armour are superfluous - with so many Jedi and robots they are useless. And for all the different stims and gloves, battles can become repetitive: force lightning and a saber flurry. There is also perhaps too much discussion which goes on and on and I have to say I gave up on - the story was a bit too clever and convoluted for its own good. But these are minor quibbles. Having said all that, it is a compelling game, addictive and I was sad when it ended (especially on such a downbeat note).… Expand

    So frustratingly incomplete. I honestly thought it would have been a better game then the first one if they simply had enough time to finish it but sadly they did not.… Expand

    Sadly, a great game gone to waste! too few upgrades and too many bugs and issues, both technical and storywise. the game is just a rip off of the original. dont buy it, obsidian doesnt deserve your money for copying the first game. a sequel should be an upgrade not the other way around.… Expand
