I played KOTOR years ago and loved it, but it didn't have nearly effect on me as KOTOR II. It is flat out fun, combining great battle sequences with wonderful characters, plot twists, emotional story lines. Honestly, getting through the game unscathed is pretty easy, but the game developers did a clever thing -- they force you to use weak characters at time to solve story lines. They are weak, yes, but have special skills that make getting through tough spots possible. That means you can't always troupe in with three Jedis, blasting away with lightsabers and force powers. When you do have three Jedis, you are pretty unstoppable.
I played as a light-side weapon master the first time through (female) and am eager to go with a dark-side Sith master the second time. The game will be completely different, I am sure.
The gameplay was totally engrossing. When you dream the game at night, you know it is good. And I did.
