Better than KOTOR but still not great
You still have the option to choose your own destiney. (light side, or dark side.) as well as what your main chacter will look like. You also get to custimize your own lightsaber (single hilt or double hilt) and color (some new colors in this game). There is also many more force powers you can have your chacter learn.
There is also the return of the speed circut, but yyou still can't customize your bike, or even upgrade it.
Instead of four playable jedis in KOTOR (you, jolee, the tiger lady, Balista) there are seven (you, kreia, vicess, mira, aton, the Handmaidan 'playing as guy', or the arceologist 'playing as girl'.) (Mira wont be playable if your in tune to the dark side when you reach the smuggular moon, you will get the Wookie instead.)
The game starts off as you walking up in Peragus space station dazed and confused. you then find another character, Kreia, and begin emarking on your journey trying to be a jedi or sith again. (sound familiar.) After preagus you are on Taris where you find out your true mission, unite the remaining jedi after the jedi civil war. (four in all, max can save three). These jedi eventually want to kill you where Kreia steps in and saves you, final show her true intention of rising in the dark side again. Final scence at Malacoar, planet where you lost your powers during the Jedi Civil War, where you kill Scion and Kreia. Choice of teaching adcamy or looking for Revan. No matter choice it shows you flying off into nknown space to find Revan. Setting the series up for a KOTOR 3.
