But then the game open up and you see a lot of qualities unseen in the previous title. And gosh how this game start bad, you are thrown in a repetitive and bland dungeon, doing meaningless quests. At first you'll think this is only a sad and buggy re-rash of the previous title because of similar characters (like HK-47) and similar stories (the amnesiac jedi aboard a ship).

This one is definitely worth a play through simply to see all of the greatness in it, even if it didn't ultimately quite reach the heights it seemed capable of.

There was also a great deal of material cut from the game that really should have been kept but had to be jettisoned to get the game out on a deadline. Unfortunately, KOTOR II was a classic Obsidian game in that it reached for the stars in many ways but was let down by some irritating technical bugs and a rushed timeline that led to a compressed and clipped ending to the game. In many ways, I liked the game even more than the original KOTR, which is saying a great deal because I loved that game. The story is deep and engaging and a good deal of fun.
