Star Wars KotOR 2: Review @ Worthplaying
   

Worthplaying has kicked up a <a href="http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=23637" target="_blank">review</a> of Star Wars KotOR II: The Sith Lords. The score is a huge 9.5/10 along with an award - here's the intro:<blockquote><em>Q: Why is Duct Tape like The Force? <br>A: It has a light side and a dark side and it binds the universe together. <br> <br>A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… <br> <br>(Cue standard Lucasarts theme music) <br> <br>Actually, this is the second in a (hopefully) long series of games that takes place thousands of years before the name Luke Skywalker was ever uttered. The first (Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic) was rightfully crowned 2003’s "Game of the Year," and frankly, I feel that this sequel is more than a worthy follower. Those of you who have read my reviews of sequels will often hear me say, "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.: In this case, it wasn’t broke, but it was fixed in so many ways, it could almost be a separate game unto itself.</em></blockquote>

" Graphically, the game is beautiful! Even at a low detail setting, the areas and characters practically jump off the screen. Light sourcing is at a premium, and the textures are amazingly realistic."

Im not sure what the correct word is here, maybe "Misleading" whether intentional or not I do not know.


At the beginning of the review, the reviwer gets confused about the Backstory, by saying the Exile was marginal in the Jedi Civil war between Reven and Malak, which the Exile had NOTHING to do with other than NOT being involed with the whole Jedi Civil War

Obviously the reviewer is excited about the game, thou I am starting to wondering if Lucas Arts if paying reviewers like Epic is suspected to have done, to cover up Rushed Out the Door too Quick Virus currently going around.

Maybe with a patch TSL will be a great game it could have/would have been if Obsidian wasnt forced to complete the game in 12 - 18 months.
