It is "meh." While the plot is ok and the game itself is somewhat
interesting...Obsidian didn't really explore the game as they should have.
There are also bugs. I'd wait to see if they ever release a patch (IMHO
they aren't going to) and then buy it.
Total worth = $25 max

It's very very good. It's easy to look at a complex game such as this
and see ways in which it can be improved -- KOTOR2 just as any other
game has ways in which it could have been better -- but don't let
people's comments on how to improve the game detract from how good the
game is.

Thusly Ann Onymous <no@way.com> Spake Unto All:
Rushed. It's got issues with ATI cards, and the ending is truncated.
Graphics are exactly like KOTOR1, story is highly reminiscent of
KOTOR1, while the actual game is considerably easier than KOTOR1.
Over all, a good game but not as good as KOTOR1, partly because it's
nothing new.

It was a pretty generic copy of the original with very little thought
put into the plot! It had plot holes, missing content, bugs, and best
of all no support from the publisher or creators!!!
Play KOTOR 1, but wait for the bargain bin for KOTOR 2.

KOTOR was more difficult than KOTOR2. The level 20 cap made
things hard in the end. In KOTOR2 the lack of level cap made
things a bit easier because you eventually had so many force
points you could just spam your favourite uber force power and
kick butt. There was only one creature in the game that was
immune to a lot of your Force powers and it was hard to take it
down.
Admittedly though, the lack of level cap and the level you
eventually achieved is accounted for with the plot. In fact your
ability to become more powerful as you killed things was also
accounted for. Conflict in KOTOR2 is central to advancement. This
is lost on a lot of people who randomly click on dialogue options
and ignore the plot. More to the point, it pays to make Kreia
like you because what she has to say answers a lot of questions.

I don't know about you but Force Potency was a stance I really
needed on Onderon when I'm being overwhelmed by hordes of
soldiers. Force Wave or Force Lightning was extremely useful.

Yes, and those moments were extremely challenging. Let's keep
things in perspective though. Your companions began weak until
you trained them. Your character wasn't some run of the mill
Jedi.
Those "in the meantime..." scenes were meant to amplify this.

Curse of the Azure Bonds, Baldurs Gate2, and Planescape Torment spring

And KOTOR1. But you wouldn't know that, because you've not played the

But you've not played KOTOR1, because you didn't want to buy any game
by Bioware, so you wouldn't know that.

Played KOTOR1 yet, thrash?
Come to think of it, have you played Gothic2 yet?
If you wont play the good games, you've got no right to bitch about
there being a lack of good games, now do you.

Well, at least that moment was, as I'd trained her as support, using
ranged weapons. It pissed me off to no end that the devs had pulled a
cheap scripted stunt like that to provide 'challenge'.
However, I applaud the devs for giving me the opportunity to finish
off the rug later on. Most rewarding.
If only they'd given me the opportunity to kick out or kill or get
killed the team-members I *knew* from the start were rotten apples
too... but then there'd have been no game.

Whereas Revan was?
If it was really intentional I should go through the game like I was
in godmode, then couldn't they at least have thrown bigger crowds of
enemies at me? Tons of weak enemies can be fun (Serious Sam style) and
provide challenge, and the PC is still über.

It wasn't a cheap stunt. The thing with Mira was foreshadowed
rather bluntly. You do read the dialogue?
> Whereas Revan was?
I'd quote Kreia's description of Revan and the Exile but I'll
give away spoilers. Try talking to Kreia and gaining more
influence. She tells you the difference between the two
characters and why the Exile is practically a god whereas Revan
is simply very strong in the Force.

What do you think Onderon was? At least when I played through I
remember some 10 enemies at once charging me through the streets
wave after wave. I can think, off the top of my head, at least
two other "horde" style battles.
I think you just don't want to be content with the game. Issues
aside, you seem to be conveniently forgetting things.

Very good with some problems that have been explained by others. Its

Kotor1 and slightly better game mechanics. If the restoration project

That seems to be the main complaint about KOTOR2: it's not as good as
KOTOR1 was. And while that's undoubtedly true, there aren't really
all that many CRPGs that are better than KOTOR1. Planescape Torment
mostly, and perhaps a handful of others. KOTOR2 isn't bad, it's just
not as good as we'd hoped. It's not living up to our very high
expectations.

I liked Kotor 2, and I kinda expected it not being as good (in my mind)
as Kotor 1, but these are my complaints:
- Too easy. Maybe because jedi/non jedi ratio in your party is much
higher in Kotor 2, and we all know jedi >> anything else.
- The story started good, was good at the middle of the game, but it
started going down towards the end, and the ending is probably the
worse one I've seen since TSRs Buck Rogers game.
Other than that I enjoyed it. I would give it some 77-80% rating
(Kotor 1: 95%, BG1: 91% BG2: 95% PST: 97%)

It did? I don't think I ever reached a cap, but the end wasn't really all
that difficult. A bit challenging, perhaps, but I think I had more trouble
in the Lower City on Taris (or whatever that planet was called).

That's what I did in KOTOR. I used Kill or Force Lightning to solve
most combats. Choosing the Dark Side may have helped, though.
But I don't play KOTOR for its combat challenge, but for the story.
