Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: the Sith Lords


This is one game i can describe in one sentence, Addicting and Fun. While this game isn't the cream of the crop in all of the star war games out there, it is the top on my honorable mentions list.
CHARACTER CREATION: When you start a new game, you make a character. Now, before you think," Oh boy, character Creation!" i must tell you it isn't that great. You choose what class you want to be, a jedi gaurdian (tank), a jedi consular (force master), or a sentinel who is a little bit of both, and decide if you want your character male or female. Then you choose a hairstyle and get onto...
GAMEPLAY: This game has a simple concept. Kill as many monsters as you can and gain as many levels as possible while planet hopping in attempts to evade the sith force that is hard on your heels. This may sound like it can get VERY repetitive the editors kept it fresh by adding litterally HUNDREDS of side missions and interesting little villages and citys on every planet you visit. Now, you're probably thinking," but wouldn't it be lonely to do this on your own?" Don't fret, LucasArts was thinking about this when they put people in the game that would be more than happy to join your...
PARTY: your party can have up to ten people in it, but you can only take 2 out on the field at the same time, so choose wisely. My favorite party for the first few planets consists of 1 up close fighter, like the handmaiden, or kreia. A blaster, like Bao Dur, Mandalore, or Atton. And Myself.
Another added perk for party members is that you can teach ceartain members ways of the force, such as Bao Dur, Atton, and Handmaiden. but the only way you'll get enough trust from your party members to let them teach you is by increasing your influence over them. and the only way you increase your influence is by being "nice" to them in your conversations. For example. if you are having a conversation with Kreia and Atton, and you are mean and wicked to Kreia but somewhat hospitable to Atton, You will lose influence with Kreia, but gain influence over Atton because you were mean to kreia (Atton doesn't like Kreia) and nice to him. though you wouldn't want your party members to be low classes like the gaurdian, consular, or Sentinel so you would upgrade them to a...
ADVANCED CLASS: The advanced classes are Jedi Weapon Master and Sith Marauder who specialize in damage dealing. then there is the Sith Assassin or Jedi Watchman who enjoy sneaking up from behind and dealing the fatal blow. Then again there is the Sith Lord or Jedi Master who like to cast force upon there opponents from afar. as an added bonus if your a sith lords or jedi master you urge your party members to follow your alignment.
This is an amazing game and i strongly reccommend it to star wars fans and rpg fans.
5 out of 5
