There are also a few new things, such as prestige classes or lightsaber forms, which are reasonable. The progression of the game, exploration of environments, interaction, mini-games, and real-time turn-based combat all make a comeback. Gameplay: In most ways, gameplay is very similar to the first KotOR. However, I still strongly recommend it to RPG fans and virtually any Xbox owner. KotOR II is a must for Star Wars fans (like me). Despite a few bugs and painfully long loading times, the game boasts spectacular visuals, incredible sound, sprawling gameplay, and an extraordinary storyline. Obsidian Entertainment has developed a masterpiece that is, in fact, among my favorite Xbox games. The game plays extremely well and, while it is very similar to the first KotOR, maintains originality throughout.

The entire story, dialogue, and events have been beautifully written, plus the game provides constant reference to the previous KotOR, as well as to other parts of the ?Star Wars universe?. You can either turn to the Dark Side and help the Sith dominate the galaxy - or you can turn to the Light Side and help restore the Jedi Order, as well as peace in the galaxy. Set five years later, the story revolves around you being one of the last of the Jedi - hunted by the Sith.

Though unlike the first game, you start off as a Jedi in KotOR II. Like its predecessor, KotOR II is an amazing RPG with an ingenious storyline. Both make up one of the most successful and brilliant Star Wars (and Xbox) game franchises to date.

Overall: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is the sequel to BioWare?s acclaimed 2003 RPG Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
