Star
Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Platform: PC, Xbox
Publisher: Lucas Arts
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Release Date: 02/15/2005
Genre: Role-Playing
They
say: Five years after the events from the award winning
Knights of the Old Republic, the Sith Lords have hunted
the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge
of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin,
the Republic's only hope is a Jedi Knight struggling to
reconnect with the Force and is faced with the galaxies
most dire decision: To follow the light or succumb to the
dark side…
All-new
Force powers, weapons, locations, characters and classes
add to the richness of this next epic installment. Choose
from three different classes of Jedi to start the game with
access to specific Jedi abilities. Choose the light or the
dark side of the Force based on your characters actions
as you progress through the story. The choices you make
not only affect your character, but also those in your party,
and those who may join you in your quest. Cameo appearances
from memorable characters of the first game enhance the
continuity and story flow through this unique time period.
Additional content will be available for The Sith Lords
via Xbox Live.
We
say: Why do games based on Star Wars have cooler names
than the Star Wars movies? Damn you, Lucas!
If
this game is half as good as the original, then it's going
to be a sure fire hit. I myslef am drinking my weight in
Mountain Dew right this moment in an effort to win an Xbox.
It will be mine!

We
say: Despite the fact that they stole our philosophy,
we really want to get our hands on this game...all over
this game...deep inside this game...thrusting it into our
computer...
