Star Wars: KotOR II Reviews

To say KotOR 2 is entirely imitative of the first game will probably determine straight away whether you'll like it or not. It is still a great game, with a well-developed and interesting plot, a great balance of action, exploration and character development and a great representation of the Star Wars universe, but I feel it's incessant similarities to the first game don't do it any favours and technically it could be a lot tighter. It's still a damn sight better than anything George Lucas has come up with in over twenty years, so if you're craving for something Star Wars and haven't given KotOR 2 a spin yet, it's well worth a try.
While the PC review was posted this week with an identical score of 7/10:
While Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords has more than its fair share of problems, it still has a lot in its favor. After helping a random innocent person instead of killing him, that memorable Star Wars music begins to swell, and it's hard not to thing think that Obi Wan Kenobi, bless his soul, would approve. The interesting decisions and the gripping characters still manage to hook their addictive claws into the player and almost make it easy forget about the game's many shortcomings. In this case, (almost) is good enough.
