Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
145 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I loved the story, even with the ending being sequel-bait for 1) a game that never happened, and 2) something now rendered non-canon by Kathleen Kennedy.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Yes, it's turn-based, but unlike KotoR 1 having a really up-and-down progression, KotoR 2 allows you to spec into your desired build early and the payoffs are huge.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not to mention the variety of choice in both story and character customization, if you get hooked you can have practically endless ways to play through.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals have aged really well for 2004, and probably has my favourite art direction of the franchise.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is filled with music from both the movies and what seems to be original tracks, and is easily one of the best portions of the game, as it immerses you immensely into the world.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love Force Storm and Force Crush-ing my way through dozens of enemies who barely leave a scratch on me even on the harder difficulty.
