    Sheer Machiavellian

    Knights Of The Old Republic 2

    This sequel follows on from the events of the first game. The first game was set after a war against the Mandalorians where two Jedis; Malak and Revan help win the war, but at a cost of turning to the darkside. In the fo... Read Full Review

    So hard to be good

    Right from the start, you can find yourself creeping slowly to the dark side. And, now really, isn't it much more fun to be bad?This game can be played over and over, and each time, there is a new conversation or quest t... Read Full Review

    Life lessons, a practical game

    How a game like this operates, it is interesting to notice how it happens as you play: opening on a ship carried over from the earlier game, the main character is just 'someone new' - not an a priori Great Character, or... Read Full Review

    Outstanding title that rules beyond it's time.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords is, despite it's outrageously long title, it stands above the greatest games to have had ever happen to the sixth generation (PS2, Xbox, etc.) and even racks up... Read Full Review

    Not sure what I think.

    The game is very solid. The gameplay, story, and characters are all solid. The worlds are crafted very well, and each one feels unique. Unfortunately, the game overstays its welcome repeatedly. After a few hours, I... Read Full Review

    So rarely has a game alternated between being really good and really bad with such frequency.

    Pros: Darker, more morally ambiguous tone; Complex character relations Cons: Slow start; Lackluster ending; Absurdly inconsistent difficulty; Tactical options are awkward to execute Note: I played KOTOR2 with The S... Read Full Review

    The Sith Lords is not aesthically superior, but it has more content than its predecessor and an excellent story.

    After having hired BioWare to craft a rather splendid role-playing game for the Star Wars franchise, LucasArts handed the contract work over to Obsidian, which at the time was quite familiar with BioWare's techniques at ... Read Full Review

    Mindbending and creative. Improves upon its predecessor in every way.

    Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords could have been one of the greatest games ever. LucasArts criminally forced dev Obsidian into an absurd time table and as a result, barely a year after the first KOTOR was r... Read Full Review

    Still an awesome game, always will be

    This game shocked me when I first played it. Sure, the first KOTOR was epic, but this one was twice as epic. It outdoes everything the first game did, and then some. This game taught me more about life than most games... Read Full Review
