While in many ways The Sith Lords does not manage to surpass its predecessor's charm, it also is one of the best RPGs out there at the moment, offering massive replay value in virtue of its interesting 'influence' system. Sure, most of it is still scripted dialogue and events, but having those events and dialogues actually reflect and react to the player's actions is something that game players have been waiting for a long while. Even the mighty Deus Ex, for all the freedom it offered, had scripted scenes that could not be changed by the player's actions.

The force is strong in this one, and future developments of the franchise will definitely be something to watch out for. For now, it's a well thought-out package that offers endless lightsaber swinging fun in a lively and well reproduced universe, waiting to be explored and moulded in your own image, be it goody-goody Jedi, or twisted Sith. And it's got lightsabers. And that neat trick where you choke people in mid-air without touching them. What more do you need, in life?
