I know it's been out for awhile, but this is still one of the best RPGs on the Xbox. I was a huge fan of the original KOTOR, playing it several times through. But this is an awesome sequel, expanding the concepts put forth in the original and working to make a larger, more complex world that take you from the war ravaged Dxun moon to the seedy underworld of Nar Shadda and back to the old stomping grounds of Dantooine and Korriban. There is alot more to the game as well and the level cap has been raised from 20 to 50, allowing you to develop your little Jedi into a well-defined character. All of your companions have unique abilities that help throughout the game and you can unlock secrets from them if you gain enough influence over them, something new from the original. Also great is the ability to specialize your class, so you could become a Jedi Master or Sith Lord if you so choose. The long load screens and pseudo-turn-based combat system may discourage some from picking this up, but these issues do little to detract from the overall game. The ending might seem confusing, but the ride you take to get there more than makes up for it. A great piece of video gaming.
