Plenty of potential, but we have Lucas Arts to thank for it being rushed out to shelves unfinished. Play the PC version with a restoration patch and the game is actually better than its predecessor.

i love kotor 2 it is one of my favorite games. i played it before the restoration mad and after, at first it was okay but after the mod i became amazing. it had me question my action and the action of the character in the game. the combat was deeper, with different lightsaber stanse and new focre power. it has some trully great set pisec but the only problem is it is really long and does become boring and the end was shit, really really shit.
Awesome game with a great story, fun gameplay, and cool characters, but unfortunately it suffers from a few too many glitches that may corrupt your save files if you aren't careful and there's more than one section of thegame that I dread to play through, but other than that I love it.
KoToR1 is better just for the simple fact KoToR2 was buggy as hell. I detest games that have a lot of potential but are ruined by bad programmers and testers.
Is it just me, or did the RCM make the ending a lot more confused/confusing than it originally was? I can't help getting the impression that I got multiple different endings mashed together, where I both destroyed Malachor V and left Visas there to guide future arrivals.The Madman said:
But, yeah, overall I have to say that I prefer KotOR II after I recently played through both games. Despite its issues, I love all the improvements Obsidian made to what BioWare created for the first game, just like I do when I compare Obsidian's New Vegas to Bethesda's Fallout 3.
To be honest, I did not have anything aginst the ending. The first game was essentially "You saved the galaxy, congratulations!", I don't see how that was so much better. Looking at a list of what the restoration mod does, it seems that general ending is about the same, with some detail added, and if you hate the ending I don't think the mod would change that. Maybe peopel used blame the game being unfinished for something that they simply does not like.
loved the first game, So I was kinda hyped for the second....but it fell short in many places. probably due to the fact that the second was by obsidian.
I really didn't like it that much. For some reason, I just couldn't really connect with the game. I ended up not caring about the characters or the story that much. I can't really explain it.
I didn't hate the game, but to me it felt kind of meh. It was nothing spectacular, and wasn't all that impressive. Then I heard about the game being rushed out and it made a bit more sense to me.
Maybe I would like it a bit more if I tried to replay it again, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

It improved alot of things that needed improving in KOTOR and for the first half the story was great. But then it went horribly downhill and the bugs marred what could have been a worthy sequel.
Also, the lack of an ending was shameful.

Unless you were Dark Side, then the whole ending had a kind of Return of The King aspect to it, since you were reclaiming your empire. Which I liked.
Overall though, in spite of KoTOR 1 being a better put together game, there were too many sequences in KoTOR 2 that I remember distinctly as being awesome, so that one wins.

I've only tried it a little bit and that was few years back. Not enough to form a complete opinion, but I found it a little buggy, confusing and the battle system wasn't something I like that much. But that was, as said, a few years back and just tried it on a friend's computer.
I thought it was really hard when I was 10. Then a year ago I played it and thought it was really easy. I've never played the first, but certainly KOTOR2 wasn't spectacular or too generic, it was a good game, however I doubt it could be considered capable of making or breaking an entire genre.
Possible spoilers!
OVERALL I thought it was an improvement on KOTOR, the combat, the story, etc, but it was only a very small improvement compared to some glaring flaws, particularly at the end. The end... makes sense, sort of. Either good, or bad, and you leave for some other planet. However, there was some unresolved things, GOTO and the smaller droid, GOTO had some plan for the planet that never was explained. HK-47 was going to have some major part, and even the wookie was to have some part saving you if you had gotten him. They just rushed that ending, and really screwed it up.
However, I might have been able to forgive that, though, it they'd not taken out the side quest for my favorite character ever, HK-47. They completely threw out his side line with the HK-50s and the future HK-51s on the machine planet! I was infuriated! I found this unforgivable, HK-47 was my favorite character, and he gets shafted because of a release date. Thanks.

It was pretty good.
It's sad that it didn't have(proper/good) fan-made dlc like the first one(Brotherhood Of Shadow Solomon's Revenge)
