9/10
Doesn't compare

I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as i have been able to watch movies. Once I got a new PC, I was thrilled to begin the Knights of the old Republic. Not soon after, I was playing through the second game when I realized just how good the first one was.

The Sith Lords is by no means bad, if you are willing to overlook a few bugs and minor plot holes, but it doesn't even come close to the complexity and detail of the first one, story-wise. Combat was a little more engaging with new moves and force powers, but these can only sustain a gamer for so long. I was particularly thankful for the ability to open up new conversations with your companions throughout the game, and eventually teaching them to use the force.

Throughout the game there are several bugs. This is probably due to the fact that Obsidian was rushed to put the game on to store shelves for the holiday season. This resulted in parts of the games storyline being cut altogether or shortened and a somewhat disappointing ending. If you are PC version owner of KOTOR II there is always the ability to place mods in the game for added gameplay value once the game is finished.

Some Final Words: -Good free roam game with lots of side-quests. -Massively detailed environments. -Great new Star Wars soundtrack -If I had to rate it: 7/10
