Outstanding. One of the best games for the console, let alone one of the all time great RPG's. A fantastic sequel.

If you played Knights of the Old Republic 1, chances are you’ll feel right at home with The Sith Lords. The basic gameplay and flow of the controls of the game are basically the same as with the first one, with slight improvements visually. Most importantly, it gives fans more of the Star Wars RPG action that only KotOR can deliver

Players will find that the story of the sequel is much deeper than the first games, with layers upon layers. Once again players can chose to either walk the path of the light, or fall to the dark side, however, this time around what path you take will effect the game more so than the first game. Firstly you will be able to influence your teammates, which is balanced out by having characters who favor killing of innocents, and those who respect kindness and charity. The story as I mentioned is much deeper, and allows for longer playing time. Also, it is impossible to witness all possibilities of the story in one game, thus making room for replay value with numerous games.

Visually the game is no different than that of the first KotOR, except for the slight smoother texture here and there. The plant environments ate larger and look far richer than those found in the first game, with deeper detail. This is of course, the occasional glitch, but, if you are familiar with the first game, then you will know what to expect from these and soon they will just become part of the game and not so much of a bother.

The sound is of course, perfect. With any Star Wars medium, one can expect a brilliant soundtrack. The various tracks help to add to the atmosphere of various situations, making the game fell more like a movie than a game.

The Sith Lords is everything that was good about KotOR 1, and then some. The added features to the game make the player feel like they were installed just for you, since everything flows together perfectly. This game is defiantly one of the best games on the Xbox, and further more, one of the best RPG’s for the console.

All in all, this game is great value, well worth the money and time. It is one of those games that will consume your life for weeks, months even, until you have seen everything the game has to offer, and believe me, there is certainly a lot to witness in this game. Outstanding.
