IGN KOTOR II Review
- Thread starter Odysseus
- Start date
8.5 Presentation
The load times are pretty frequent and pretty long, but no other franchise does Star Wars as well as KOTOR.
8.5 Graphics
The Force powers look prettier and the snow areas are quite nice, but it's essentially last year's game. The framerate issues don't hurt the turn-based gameplay, but they do hurt the eyes.
9.5 Sound
An hour of original music is mixed in with some pieces from the first KOTOR to create one of the best Star Wars scores to date. Most of the voice acting is top-notch.
9.5 Gameplay
The combat engine remains brilliant and the morality choices are everywhere. Good story, smart dialogue options, and better interactions with NPCs make for an improvement over the original.
10.0 Lasting Appeal
It's 40 hours long and you get different results being Light or Dark, male or female. Plenty of replay value and lots of incentive to go through a second time just to see what you might have missed.
9.3 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

I agree. Getting Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos in the same year sure was nice.
Some guy has the game already;

With what? Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2 and KOTOR2?
PS2 has GTA SA, MGS3, R&C3, SMTIII, etc, etc... JUST GIVE UP MAN!

"FFX-2 scored better than KOTOR2 ;P"
Is this trying to tell us all that reviewers gave FFX-2 higher ratings because of the name on the box? I think so.

BUT LUKE WINS AT THE END!

Does he. From what I can see, Vader fucks Natalie Portman....goes on cool Jedi killing sprees....controls the galaxy in his iron grip and then turns back into Hayden Christenson while poor Yoda and Ben are collecting their etheral Jedi pensions. A winner is Vader!

Yeah, but he can't breath for 30 years. Dark Side = LOSE.
