KOTOR 2 was a pretty good game that would have been just as good as the first if it wasn't for all the bugs in the game.

- graphics were a bit improved from the last one but they aren't as improved as they could have been, hardly any slowdown even during big battles. the worlds were varied and all looked good: 8.5

- Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first, not much added besides Lightsaber techniques, more control over the computer controled people on your team and last but not least the influence on the party. which is the biggest addition and happens to be pretty fun trying to please 10 different teammates to further the story or see what you can get from them...there also seems to be more light/ dark choices but they tend to be imbalanced, i went the whole game doing jedi mind tricks to have people kill themselves, rob people, kill people and when i got this guy a job as a pilot, it gave me a huge light side boost when my motive were purely for the money 8.5

- sound...everything sounds like star wars...voice acting was good, nothing really outstanding but everything fit well: 9.0

- presentation...the cutscenes that happen because of your party seem misplaced and sometimes they make no sense, this holograph of a character stayed in the ship for most of the game and i couldn't do anything with it. dead npc's appeared again after they were dead and there was nothing you can do but highlight them. conversation choices that should have disappeared/appeared after certain ponts....just a bunch of annoying little code problems that should have been worked out which don't ruin the game, but make the game look pretty unpolished 8.0

- replay value.... with different endings depending on how dark/light you are, tons of weapons and equipment, different ways to do each quest, teammate influence reactions and 2 different characters if you're male or female, there's alot of thing to be missed by even the first few times around 8.5
overall 8.6
