Knights of the Old Republic II!

[Kassiopeia]

They didn't have to create the engine from scratch, for one thing.

I've just played it for a few hours. Has the same addictive quality as the first one. I just stopped because I should have gone to bed a half-hour ago!! It's got the same great gameplay as the 1st. Which is good, because it is very much like the 1st one . I haven't found out much of the story yet (I'm still early) though the voice acting is still top notch.

Where are you currently at, Imran?

I just hit the dormitory level after the docking of the Republic ship.

*diss grumbles about inferior consoles*

You mean SUPERIOR consoles... after all, I get the game first . And the graphics are much better than my PC can handle. Pretty good control scheme with the controller as well.

Its looking very, very good. However, you're playing, yet again, an amnesiac character

I prefer it. That way they can tell you the whole story instead of pretending your character has a story before and is too stupid to know the basic things that happened .

It's ok, if you are amnesiac you can't remember the first game.

sigh......even the console owners in the uk have to wait for it right?

Not that i finished the first one mind you.......so that might become my new task

[DrSpike]

How could you leave it unfinished?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, the end of the first one was pretty cool .

[Kuciwalker]

Though the place before the final level was really surreal.

i er......became bored with it once i knew what was going on
And i'd started to lose my affection for the sayings of the cool robot dude.......
And i was starting to not enjoy my lack of real freedom.......in say comparison to Morrowind which i was also playing at the time..........but i did enjoy it for a few weeks
Still KOTOR2 may well be my next Xbox purchase, unless Jade Empire gets into my local shop first

(I'm jaded ok - so give me a break - i've been gaming since 1981)

The planet you mean? Yeah, it felt strangely out of place. All the while there I felt that I was in the wrong game, or maybe not in the wrong game, but you obviously know what I mean.

[Tassadar500]

What I did think was neat about that planet was, the continuous mentions of the "old" Revan.

[Kassiopeia]

Perhaps I and Kuciwalker had a subconscious feeling of déjà vu evoked by the suppressed memory of our player characters.

Maybe not.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Oh, I liked the planet. That was fun. I don't think that was in any of the books (at least I never heard of it before), so it was a very interesting interpretation on the beginnings of the Force.

[Dis]

the unknown planet was cool. And had a pretty extensive story assoicated with it if you talked to the one dude who retains their history. I liked the bright landscape as well. It looked pleasing to the eye.

[Kuciwalker]

I'd never heard of Manaan either.

[Kassiopeia]

I think Manaan was created for the game too. I loved Manaan
