Knights of the old republic 1 was one of the greatest games and stories every in videogames.  That's just my opinion but any rpg fan,  Star Wars geek or just any gamer that enjoys a deep story will agree. I think I've beaten the first game six or seven times. I was really excited for knights of the old republic 2 Sith Lords. I remember  the day I got it. I installed that bad boy and with wide eyes and a smile I created my future Jedi guardian. My wide eyes and smile turned into shooting daggers and grinding teeth and me saying "wait....what", "huh, who this guy talking about", "wait, why am I here?", "what was the point of that", "this can't be the only dialog choices they give me", "that cut scene makes no sense", "what kind of garbage ending was that?" , I've beaten kotor 2 three times now, and it's obvious this game is completely and painfully unfinished.
  So lets talk about this poop shoot game first. It's 100% playable and combat is an exact clone of the original. So if your a fan of combat from the first game you'll be happy but like a double edge sword this is a freakin sequel, it should be enhanced but they didn't change anything at all and I mean anything,including skills.
  The main problem with this game is the most important thing with a game like this, the story.
Now first let me explain something. Bioware is the company that made the first knights of the republic. Bioware is also responsible for making other great games like baulders gate 1&2, neverwinter nights 1, jade empire, and most notably the mass effect saga. Now, after bioware made kotor 1 they immediately began work on jade empire for Xbox. Lucustarts wanted them to make the sequel to kotor, unfortunately their developers were tied up with jade empire. So lucustarts turned to obsidian, a well known company that made such hits as icewind dale, neverwinter nights 2 and fallout new Vegas. Sounds confusing doesn't it. Obsidian is well known for picking up sequels that bioware and Bethesda don't have time for. But they're still a great company. Unfortunately when they took on a sequel for knights of the old republic it's obvious that they struggled with it and lucustarts really rushed them on the project. I think....no...I know that obsidian couldn't have done better than bioware. The story was to much for them to take on. Unless they could've gotten into the minds of bioware and gotten more time to work on the project I think fans like me would've been much more satisfied.
  Just like in kotor 1 you wake up on a a ship with no memory and you have to relearn your powers....gee...off the bat this game sucks. Are you serious ?! The further you get in this game feels like a cheap rip off of the first. Except your an exiled Jedi they call "the exile".....wow the cheese is strong in this one. You have to go around the galaxy looking for the rest of the Jedi which are almost driven to extinction by the Sith. Hmmm that's funny,  in the first game I destroyed the Sith armada. It doesn't matter. Kotor 2 didn't follow the plot to first (which it should've) but it does desperately try to name drop from it. Kotor fails to follow its own plot. Each story quest is a struggle to get momentum going and the events that happen within move the arc of the plot further away. The boring characters who join you all have lack luster and generic personas. You won't want to befriend any of them or romance them. Each character in the first game all had a story to tell and a quest to boot. In kotor 2 the characters leave you scratching your head and going "mmmmkkkk, I guess since I have no more dialog options ill go see what the droids are up too". It's really frustrating when this happens. Once I noticed I was headed towards the endgame, I knew it was almost over. I had more questions than answers and strange cut scenes started playing. A boss fight later and credits rolled. My jaw dropped and curses flared out. I immediately started another game....same thing....third game...same. This games plot is just a wreck.
  Some people agree with me and some people say I'm to hard on it.  We should be hard on sequels to great games. It's one thing if the sequel isn't "as good as the first" but it's an insult to just give up and send an unfinished product to the consumer. Obsidian pulled a fast one on us. Many well known magazines praised this game as "good". How this happens? I don't know but I do know that knights of the old republic 2 Sith Lords is an unfinished game. And unfinished games do not deserve praise no matter what the title of the game is. If you never played knights of the old republic 1, you can get it on steam for cheap and even on iPad. If you want to play the sequel, find a box, write " this has lightsabers" on it, dump in used kitty litter with a glow stick and that's about as good as knights of the old republic 2 Sith Lords is.
