Absolutely better than the first and I am hooked on this series! I can't wait for more. I hope that we get more of this in the future!

One of the best games ever, finished it 13 times. The atmosphere is just incredible in this one. Great characters, cool story, fun mechanics.

The best Star Wars game ever made. It takes everything Lucas created and questions it respectfully.

This would be so great if they had a chance to finish this. You could see that the story should have been so much better. But the gameplay is great and being dark feels so good here with new powers.

This is a classic. I loved playing a Star Wars rpg and the setting and time is great. You also get replay value with the light or dark side options. For the time it came out I don't know what else you could ask for.

The Game is really awesome, have many battles and semi open-world missions, the villains ares memorables and open a alternate universe to the main timeline of Star Wars.

Much like the first game in the series this is a must for any STAR WARS fan and is a master class in RPG and writing. The stories and dialogue in this game are like no other STAR WARS story even to this day. You will LOVE every second of it. 10.

Obsidian is really good at making games on established IPs even if they get jack for development time. If this game had more time it easily could of been better then the original as is its as good. This game has bugs and feels to me like it needed more planets to explore and more time on that ending but everything else is amazing give it a try.

Obsidian makes everything better.... Thank God Xbox bought the studio & not EA.. We all dodged a bullet... TY Obsidian for KOTOR2,,,,New Vegas,,, & Jade EMpire… **The Fallout New Vegas DLC is still to this day the GREATEST DLC ive ever purchased... It was soooo advanced & was easy to run circle after circle of loot farming... *My 1st SingleP[alyer game(non MMO) to break the 500 hour mark..... In Obsidian I trust!

Le talent d'Obsidian a éclaté au grand jour avec cette suite du mythique KOTOR. Obsidian est aussi doué pour les suites qu'il est affligeant de nullité sur les jeux entièrement de son crû (cf le calamiteux Alpha Protocol élu Bouse de l'Année). Il est aussi assez doué pour démouler des jeux particulièrement buggués... coucou Fallout New Vegas... Cependant, ici sur la version Xbox de KOTOR 2, il n'y a pas lieu de se plaindre outre-mesure. Si le scénario n'est pas aussi brillant que son ainé, c'est bourré de bonnes idées tout au long de l'aventure avec notamment le meilleur début que j'ai jamais vu dans un JDR ! c'est assez rare pour être signalé. Un peu moins bon que le premier KOTOR donc mais toujours excellent.

It's an honorable sequel to the Greatest star wars game of all time. Adds in more combat options, more characters and a new protagonist. A lot of the aspects in the game are like the first but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Tier 2 + Excellent continuation of the story from the previous installment that goes in a lot of exciting direction + Interesting cast of companions with a great development system between them and the player + Explores the moral ambiguity and potential depth of the Star Wars mythos in amazing ways ? Pacing feels odd, and conclusion is not fully fleshed out ? Game feels emotionally hollow/cold despite the admirable storytelling, though for the most part this fits thematically - Like the previous installment, combat gets boring quickly, though it does offer some fun new mechanics

this game is a perfect addition to those hardcore star wars Fans.... Pros: the lightsaber combat is exhilerating....., The easter eggs hidden throughout the game are awesome.... the character interactions are very inclusive and it makes you feel like your actually involved.... Cons: unfortunatly the game was rushed through development.... so its missing massive parts of the storyline.... they deleted a whole planet from the game.... and forgot to fix some of the in game interactions which hint at the planet...... the ending leaves it wide open for a third game.... but we have yet to see a new game.... SWTOR is not even close to being called a continuation of Star wars KOTOR 2... its a stand alone game and i speak for myself but personally i WANT TO SEE A THIRD GAME.... revitalize this game series guys, we can get our game back guys... they did this for star wars battlefront 3 for the xbox 1... so it stands to reason they can do a new one for XBOX 1.... unfortunatly the issue will be getting disney to allow it from Canon perspective.... they dont have a bloody clue

Personally, this was the First KotOR game I played. I fell in love, even though this is the sequel, it just goes to show how good this series is at immersing the player. I didn't know or care who Revan or the Exile was when I started, but as I played through, it was clear this game, is, just, Perfect. To me, this is this is the definitive Star Wars RPG, so is the game it is a sequel to. It makes you feel like it is an actual Star Wars movie, made by those little geniuses at Bio-ware, you are the main character, whether or not you choose to fall to the dark-side or follow the path of the light is entirely up to YOU. The tutorial planets can get boring, but that's just like the beginning of ANYTHING, just stick around and you will see, the tutorial planets are just the gates to what this game holds. And combat is just scratching the surface, the characters both in this game and the first, have so much detail, and development. They actually have personalities and quirks, you need to get to know them if you are going to use them helpfully. In KotOR II, there are turns between fighters, there is an initiative roll, virtual dice rolls to do damage, see if you missed or just unlocked a door successfully, like any classic game of D&D. All virtual of course, at the players convenience. Just try this game, and the first one too for that matter, if you like Star Wars, and (maybe) are over 10 you will love, or at least, like it. I would just love to spoil the ending, BUT. I. WON'T.

If you haven't played any of the KOTOR games, I recommend you get KOTOR 1 and this game, it's sequel. When I first started playing II it seemed weak. And you could quickly tell it was made by a different company than the original. Some things seem forced on you. But in the end those weak beginnings have great story potential. Depending on which path you choose to follow. . But as the game unfolded I found in some ways II was a much better game. And this from a person who loves the original KOTOR. I especially love how they made the neutral path have it's own special properties and have it's own unique plot results. But mostly how it affected powers differently. Story is still a big thing. The game still has huge replayablitiy potential. It still has great mini games. The companion stories are great. But the best part is you can do what you want, and be your own Jedi. And the game and story feels like it belongs in the Star Wars universe This game is what made people so happy about the potential for a Star Wars MMO. Sadly SWTOR failed to deliver on even half of what the KOTOR series was. Remember many actions have repercussions, that affect story. This game even can have you form romantic relationships with the companions. And depending on how you interact can have some very unforeseen types of interactions. Which can be quite disturbing. But if your looking for a Star Wars RPG this game and it's predecessor is a must have.

The first KOTOR game is cosidered by many to be the best Star Wars game, and one of the best RPGs of all time. Truly Bioware did a fantastic job with that game, but this sequel wasn't made by Bioware but by Obsidian, so you may be concerned that this sequel might not live up to the standards set by it's predecessor. Worry not this sequel is actually better than the first in every way. The story is darker and the characters deeper. The combat is tighter and less frustrating. The voice acting and score are amazing. The graphics are also something I have to give praise to, they're absolutely gorgeous at times, no they aren't as good as todays games and there are some rough areas, but when you remember that this is an Xbox title and not an Xbox 360 title you'll find some truly jaw droppingly gorgeous moments. The only thing I can find that the first game did better is the fact that it was less glitchy, that's right glitches and slowdown are a regular occurrence, but they don't detract from the experience much at all. This one of the best games I'be ever played, and it's the best Star Wars game I've ever played. Here's hoping they make KOTOR 3.

An amazingly fun game with some of the best characters in the entire Star Wars franchise. However, everything feels a little too familiar, and the story just doesn't feel as satisfying as the original. The game also feels rushed and uncompleted, as there were many opportunities to extend the plot which were not fulfilled. Nevertheless, the game is an entertaining sequel and a must play for any fans of Star Wars, Bioware, or generally RPGs.

One of my favorite RPG games I have ever played. The story and character customization was fantastic! I absolutely loved picking my party members for specific parts, and ultimately creating my own story line dependent on my choices. This is a game which has helped shaped, along with its predecessor, RPG's today.

Though incomplete, the game brings with it a unique storyline, fantastic characters and awesome game-play. The storyline is what amazes me in this game as it brings with it a view on the Star Wars galaxy that no movie or book could give. An exiled jedi trying to find his/her way in the galaxy, unaware of a war that occurred in his/her travels, later to find out that he/she is a target for the sith, and on his/her journey to connect back to the force he/she is faced with options that will change the face of the galaxy. The characters' personalities are amazing, each carrying a history that the jedi can unveil. The in-completion of the story is a let down but prays for a sequel. Sadly there is none but I give KOTOR TSL a ten for story, characterization and gameplay.

A masterpiece that I played back in 2004 and a year ago again , pure Dark side this time. Story is great and I just love the characters, especially HK-47, he should had been awarded an Oscar that year! Really a must have for RPG and SW fans.

People are going to hate me for this, but I think this game was better than the original (Flame shield: ON). The story is that you're quite literally, the last Jedi. The game is then progressing around that. But because of this, people are trying to kill and/or imprison you left to right, and the characters, no matter what side you're on, follow. This game had more feats, awesome force powers, more upgrades, and VERY likeable and unlikable characters. Atton being my favorite, and Kreia being my least favorite. The game had new music which I actually uploaded to my mp3, and a big plot twist toward the end. Even though we kinda saw it coming, but it was a blurry line. It may start off pretty slow, but you'll definitely get into it. It has about 30 hours of gameplay including the sidequests! Ever played dungeons and dragons? The board game? The combat is exactly like that, but it does the rolling and arithmetic for you in less than a quarter of a second! The game can also be quite funny too. When you walk in on the Handmaiden, she says she's training as a way not to be bored. Then you can say "Well you can always play pazaak with Atton" Then all of a sudden you hear Atton yell at the droid "What do you mean pazaak? What, AGAIN?!" The game, I am proud to say, shall always be on my game shelf.

Not as good as it's predecessor, the tutorial section (first two planets) of this game are only worth doing once, but everything else I could do a lot (I've beat the game twice). Once again, It's purely strategic and it shines as an actual RPG (see my review of the first game for details).

This game was an extremely fun game. The mechanics, customizations, and improvement really made a great game. The story however disappointed me, it did not live up to the potential it had on it and i truly wish more time was put into this. This is a good game don't get me wrong but it could have and should have been so much more!! The first Knight of the Old Republic is much much better.
