I couldn't resist going dark the first time through (still not that far into it, only just left Dantooine). My chick is so far into the dark side, she craps black holes, man. Evil is good...

I'm just really impressed with all the content and detail, and all the conversations and interactions that happen depending on who you currently have in your party.

BioWhere?
Rock it.

Waiting until A) I finish (or even start) the first one, and B) for it to come out on PC.

Grabbing it from the ng, post your impressions/thoughts. Does it live up to the first(and if so, its going to be amazing)?
Hey, Defiant - if the game is going to be amazing, just like the first one, here's a thought: BUY IT and support the developers.
Rock it.

I thank you Reverend for your words of enlightenment.

I always download my games and preview them since you cant return a buggy, POS mess. If something is worth my money, I buy it. Dont presume to judge anyone but yourself.

Ordered it for $54 plus tax during the Futureshop F and F sale on Sunday night.

My copy still hasn't shipped. Expecting another solid, long game though.

What I'm going to do with this one is the same thing as the first one - First time through, light side quest doing all the side quests, which turns into a massive, long game. Then a quick run through the dark side.

I just started a new KOTOR game and I'm playing through it dark side style, skipping the side quests.

i started playing it this morning, and i am so impressed!

i love that you have to work for your influence over the other characters, and there are so many new dialogue options! i am over 8 hours in, and i still am barely anywhere and i don't even have my lightsabre yet, although i like it this way much better than getting everything right away in the beginning

i also like the new upgrade/build feature at the workbench and lab stations

See below for reviews:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platfor ... republic2/

In summary the reviews are generally strong but key criticisms are of the graphics and that the formula of the first game is changed little. The latter point is probably both good and bad. 1UP was particularly hard on the game and suggested the game should be considered an expansion pack rather than a sequel.

I'm still excited to play it as I loved the first game, and graphics in an RPG aren't that important to me.

IGN gives it a 9.3... guess I'll have to pick it up since I loved the original KOTOR so much!!!

Damn there are too many good cames that came out this year. I don't have time to play all of them! First Halo 2, then WoW, and now KOTOR 2... and I'm still waiting on LOTR: Battle of Middle Earth!

there is only one thing that i don't like about this game so far (besides the ridiculous loading times):

after you fight and then kill someone, the xbox kind of freezes for a sec, then switches to the next enemy, and when you have killed everyone around, you can't control your player for at least one second after that
