Long title, long game. It stands up to its predeccesor KotOR quite well. You once again start as a character with memory loss, waking up already in the thick of things. The only difference is instead of having absolutely no idea that you have Jedi powers, you have *some* idea of what the hell is going on.

From what I have played so far it is a fairly detailed game. They have thankfully added in abilities and item creation that actually make use of those skills that you forgoed in the previous to become a combat god. Skills and stats now definately make a difference. They will determine what you can make, what you can use, and what you can wear. The only drawback to this is that you will have to become commited to your choices. Once you start down a particular path there will be many things you will miss along the way had you played a different character. Granted this makes for great replayability but for someone like myself who has a "Gotta-catch-em-all" mentality, it can be quite frustrating.

I have yet to play much of this game even though I have had it in my hot little hands since the very day it hit the shelves. At the moment it sits idly installed in my computer waiting for an update. Why? Well various bugs. On 3 seperate occasions the game has crashed resulting in loss of gametime (having to reload back to a distant location). This was *extremely* frustrating. Also there are minor graphical glitches, and a couple of gameplay glitches (ie when you walk outside in a spacesuit your graphic is insanely accellerated so you appear to be like the roadrunner with your legs a-blur).

All in all however this seems to be a good game, and I will be sure I will enjoy playing it ONCE they release a patch.
