This game could have, should have been a classic. The first one certainly was. The second one though was so obviously incomplete that it detracted from what would have been a very interesting and engaging story. Sort of like a movie with a great script, but didn't come across too well because they didn't have time to film some crucial scenes. The developers were so hell bent on getting it out in time for the Christmas sales rush that the final game had big chunks removed from the story and it shows (especially playing the sith storyline), not to mention the game being chock full of bugs. In some parts of the game, there are discussions and other references to parts of the story that didn't make the final cut. It's hard to enjoy the storyline when you're having to trawl through mountains of discussions about bugs in online forums, just to find the awkward solution to a problem that's preventing you from playing a certain level properly. Overall as a game its 'not quite finished' status is painfully obvious and what should have been a great game became a chore.
