The worlds are nicely detailed and the alien species look pretty realistic. The graphics are pretty similar to the quality of the last game, though perhaps slightly better, as there seem to be more polygons etc.
KOTOR 2 FOR MAC REVIEW PATCH
The game only crashed a couple of times on me, and it has an error-reporting feature that will hopefully help with the patch development. There was an instance where I was talking with Atton and the voice over did not match the subtitle at all. There are subtitles for all the conversations that have voice acting. On the other hand, the AI is pretty good in battle, as they will use their force powers and heal if needed. Often they can get stuck or stay behind or even run away from you for no apparent reason. There are even glitches so bad that can make the game unbeatable! To be safe, make a new save on every planet. There have been several times where I was stuck and had to re-load because a sequence didn?t trigger. Most of the time they work fine but many times they don?t. Many levels have triggers or sequences that must be done in the right place or at the right time. Like many games rushed out the door, this game has several bugs worth mentioning. Many items in this game can be created or broken down using workstations or lab stations. There are lab stations too where you can turn chemicals into healing kits. Light sabers are not easy to come by in fact you will have to build your own by collecting the necessary parts and using the workbench. They all have their advantages and disadvantages but in all honesty I kept the default one on at all times. There are even different light saber fighting styles that you learn throughout the game. There are a lot of new feats and force powers you can train. Whatever path you take you can take them down the same path too.
You can train certain members to use the force. Depending on your influence level you can get them to unlock other conversation topics. You can gain and influence your party members by talking with them, or performing certain acts in their presence. I miss the interaction between party members while traveling on planets, but there are many cut-scenes on the Ebon Hawk when you are traveling to various places. You can now have up to ten party members available, but are limited to taking two with you at a time. There are a couple of turret sequences but they are not as common as they were in KotOR.
Paazak is also much faster paced and there are new cards that negate the selected numbers this is handy if you go over the 20 limit. Swoop racing is much harder now as there are more obstacles. The mini games such as pazaak and swoop racing have changed a bit. The game play is pretty much the same, but there are many additions that are worth noting. As always you can choose to be light or dark side - and this time your choices affect your party around you. You must find out why the Jedi are being hunted and gather together any remaining Jedi Masters. The Sith believe you are the last of the Jedi and are hunting you down. You are a Jedi exile, outcast by the Jedi counsel for following Revan in the Mandalorian wars. The republic is in shambles and is close to extinction. The Jedi have been hunted and nearly eliminated by the Sith. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2:The Sith Lords (KotOR2) takes place 5 years after the previous game.
