There's a <A href="http://www.nvnews.net/articles/kotor2/">new review</a> of <A href="http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swkotor_sithlords/">KotOR2</a> at <A href="http://www.nvnews.net">nV News</a>. It's pretty much a mixed bag, offering a bit of praise and niggles along with panty shots. Here's the standard clip:
<br>
<blockquotE>The party system works in much the same way as KOTOR 1. You potentially have a lot of people to choose from, but only 3 can be in your party outside of the ship. This is quite fun when you have characters you like. Sometimes, when your main character is off doing something else, you get stuck controlling one or more of the other characters. At times those characters might not be equipped with items you would choose, and this essentially makes the sequence not a whole lot of fun. Actually, I didn't like this feature any time it occurred (regardless of what characters were equipped with), although it did provide more plot information through cut scenes.</blockquote>

Yup, gotta say I hated this stuff as well. I really hated it when I sent all blaster guys versus Dark Jedi. Whoops!

I stopped playing KotOR 2 when I got to the mission on Dxun when I had to kill all the stupid animals in order to get the electorinics thingie. It sucked.

Yeah..but that still wasn't fun ...tho you get the parts easy if you explore...

And you weren't forced to do it(it was a subquest afterall :roll: )there are other ways to gain prestige..

And I agree it was better than K1 mainly due to the fact I find K1 boring :P

The simple fact that there was a quest that stupid in there pissed me off enough to stop playing.

I haven't played KOTOR2, and only about 20 minutes of KOTOR1. What I played felt very vanilla flavoured to me. I certainly was not hooked or intrigued.
Has anyone got any reasons why I should go back and have another go?

No, K1 sucks...
More boring than NWN OC :P

I wouldn't go that far. If you like PC RPGs, and really want to play a PC RPG you haven't played yet, its a good pick. It is very munchkin friendly however, and basically dual weilding melee characters can sleep through the combat. Yeah, the character sheet is like a dumbed down NWN, combat is a better animated with direct henchman control NWN. The story does pick up after Pegasus, but its still pretty slow paced, and 80%, my estimate, of the game will be spent in combat or combat zones, with another 15% spent in dialogue. If you are a SW-phile, however, you may find the premise much more interesting than I did.
