Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2- The Sith Lords - 4 stars (No Title(still)) - Knights of the O
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords review:4 stars (No Title(still)) - Knights of the Old Republic is the infamous 2003 game of the year. But the sequal is anything but game of the year material. I think that the one thing people liked about the first game was the detail, characters, and the plot twists.
Okay, lets start in the detail. Once agian, the Bioware team knock my socks off with their insanly detailed character models, mabey not Halo or Metroid pixals, but it checks out in my book.
Number dos, the characters. You once agian get thrown in with the oddest asortment of torture droids, jedi masters, and hot redhead bounty hunters. Thought some of your party members do reveal Revan's secrets -cough Keria- you can't find any party members famaly like you did with almost your whole party in the last game, although you do need some backround influnce to turn them into jedis'. The cameo aperences are extreme cameos, you see 10 seconds of Admiral Carth Onasi other than that, you have your two favorite droids in your posse (not C3-PO & R2), and HK-47 has some nice opions and voice recitings of Carth and the nice kissing scene with you and Bastaila, yep, HK heard it.
The plot was intresting enough, but I think their should be better voice overs and less talking on Telos. I don't want to go too far into the plot, but heres a qustion before I leave. People and magazines hyped Darth Nithilus way too much and gave him a micro sized part in the game, why?
Peace Out Shorties1 stars (a disaterous hole in gaming) - WARNING:THIS GAME IS INCOMPLETE AND WILL LEAVE GAMERS FRUSTRATED AND BORED OUT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE WITS! That would be a good warning that Lucasarts could have slapped on the back of KOTOR2. This half-baked yet full priced game is a complete catastophe! So here is a joke. What do you get when you add broken gameplay, imcomplete storyline, confusing controls, and horrible graphics? KOTOR2 of course! Now you may think I am just being mean, but I don't particularly enjoy bashing games. I much rather enjoy praising them, but in cases like this, there is just no praise to be found. Ok I would not be so mad if Lucasarts actually stuck with their promise of releasing a patch to solve this horrendous mess. But I regret to say that they have so far released no such thing. And unless they do soon, I will tell you to STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME AT ALL COSTS!3 stars (Unforgiveable insult by indifferent company wastes superb potential) - The Sith Lords is a pig with makeup. She has the looks, lure and lust, but marital union reveals the sow she is.
And Vader's breath aside you'll still buy it knowing what KOTOR was like and the temptation is critical striking your saving throw to wisely avoid. So we'll get straight to the point. Obsidian's affront offers no backstory on the Darth villains, myriad game bugs, no twists or surprises or final movie, a companion-influence system that works against you, and fewer movies horridly fragmented into brief sequences best of all that a 2-gigabyte graphics patch still doesn't resolve.
KOTOR starts with a bang and Taris diversity to impress. Your bang here is a choppy intro movie, slaying foes with weak weapons in single hits half naked, your first vista of new face templates an afro-haired geek, unattractive ladies and a Lando clone. Hunters are coming, surrounded by volatile explosives, and the outcome is obvious. Kiss my Vadering breath, your dramatic movie/music of the heated escape is abruptly stop-started-stop-started with loading screens!
The transparent storyline as the last known wizard is ridiculous fraudulence, as though you won't greet and grit other Jedi. You're dreaming Bastila bums if you think the game offers plot or character conversation surprises like KOTOR, the stolen ending aside, of course. There's a darker feel, as unknown threats have decimated the wizards. The Darths aren't so terrifying when you easily corpse them, with only rudimentary info on Scion and absolutely none for Nilly. Why, you're not even told his damn name until you meet, this nightmare sucking worlds dry a delightful opposite of battle meditation, feeding, not nurturing, no background at all! Searching for Jedi Masters instead of starmaps, the old hag warns you the Darths you face are best faced without your Force.
Then why do you fight them with it??
Burping banthas, the Sith hardly use THEIR Force on you. I sabered them just fine. And they'd have you think Jedi-ing your companions is awesome, but it's too late in the short game, making their weak powers needless against your Incredible Hulk. Enemy strength isn't compensated when prestige classes overpower you. Force lightening/screaming 8 dead in a hit will either be fun or eventually boring. Sith Lords hardly even dark side you!
Your party conspiring behind you flavours TSL like a story, but it doesn't feel Star Wars at all. You don't find much sabers or fight saber foes until the very end, so what's the point in calling it SW? The legions of Sith Lord babies you swim through at the end are hardly worthy of the name.
The Kreia Kontradiction is transparent as to be blatant nudity. Supposedly neither light nor dark, then why does she reward you with darkside-influence? Was her ulterior design so opaque, that the developers thought that'd be a sneaky plot twist? She'll bonus your experience when with you, but lightside action loses influence. You want to level up faster, but a handy "close your eyes" game bug aboard ship allows you to influence her enough to access her movie story, fortunately.
Influence is this game's theme. Different behaviour can charisma different companions, which the developers would have you think is quiet cool. Truth is, you don't influence them right you won't access their precious backgrounds. While tying your influence into the storyline was a clever touch, the game lacks casual fun as you must constantly shift party slots to have the right human or droid present when meeting people.
Game duration's shorter than KOTOR, too short to access all your party stories under restrictive influence guidelines. Added annoyance as your shipmates is quite hilarious to hear. Lightsiders will only influence good companions, so you'll miss the darksiders. What, were you encouraged to replay this skeletal game?
Not only are you returned to Dantooine and Korriban, they're exceptionally short stays. The cave phantoms were fun, but there's almost nothing to do on Korriban and no influence opportunity at all. Cut material cheats you a third of the game. Complete Nar Shadda even second last and you'll have no chance to influence the weak but snappy Mira.
Every movie is fragmented. Like 3 clips to reach Telos' surface instead of one 15 sec one! Absolutely unacceptable! Music's a blaring riot of sounds without KOTOR's rhythmic intricacy. Battle tracks are mundane, though the atmosphere of Malachor is memorable.
Companions are better controlled and now automatically move out of your way, teleport in if lagging, unique talents with exceptional witty dialogue. Kreia's ire at your zoo collection of outlaws, misfits and Jedi sparks tension. Gender and light/dark alignment affects some party composition. This time your loyal T3 has a strong role, but bugged with rapid-speech lines. HK-47 is back and with a family. Damn the bumtarts for cutting the droid planet out! Loads of Star Wars trivia from all sources, and instant weapon swapping is what KOTOR really needed. Varied facial templates won't see the same few this time, and you might even meet your own from last game. Gone are the ubiquitous Twi'leks and Rodians for vaster alien and ethnic human variety.
Exotic new powers and skills make autolevelling again pointless. Without respawning foes I reached level 27. Attributes and skills now affect your conversation choices, enhancing game play. Item acquisition is random, tempting you to reload until enemies give you something better; excellent range of exotic accessories, weaponry and Force-usable caped armour. I mostly got only short and double sabers though.
The 35 problems the game boasts weren't invisible during pregnancy. Technical glitches like bugged journal quests, getting stuck in walls, companions not attacking, rapid alien speech, random desktop crashes, your saber permanently lit. No stage bosses, blasters and lightside powers still weak and defensive, and shorter mouse-targeting-distance are some design faults. It also looks ridiculous to block a blade unarmed.
It's not the sheer audacity of rushing a skeletal game for new year sales, but that LucasArts has forbidden Obsidian's request to restore missing content.
