Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords - XBox

I have to admit that I had very high hopes for this game when I got it. I was a little disappointed with some technical glitches and I stopped playing it for about 6 months. I became interested in it again a few weeks ago and decided to go ahead and finish it. I am glad it did.

They developer is not Bioware this time, but they built on the world Bioware helped flesh out. I am annoyed with the some interface problems, like a long delay when you are opening a container, and the inability to scroll though the remains of you kills without backing up. There are some points that just don't feel like they went thought QA. A few points where the plot leaves you with some problems and no clear way to proceed, but the developers manager to just let you kill or destroy enough to get through it.

All the bad things out of the way you might think that I would say pass on this title. I am going to say just the opposite. Don't let this glitchy gem slip past your fingers. The story is worth playing. The ending is interesting and not a kill every thing in the room then kill the boss ending that one expects from a Bioware property.

The interaction that is required for getting the other NPCs to talk to you to advance the story is interesting. I think the developers too the time to develop a great script rather than develop some new and massive interface.

If you are a Star Wars fan, own and XBox, then you should have this game. I have not played the PC version so I do not know if the technical glitches are there as well, but even so, I would still recommend it for a fan.

Now where is the 3rd?
