Star Wars: KOTOR 2 for XBox out Dec. 7-Who else is waiting for this?

Is anyone else excited about the Dec. 7 release of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2-The Sith Lords for XBox? KOTOR was my favourite game and I'm really hoping this one is as good. Has anyone read the reviews? I'm going to wait til the release date to buy as I haven't seen a better deal than $59.99 (using a $5 coupon) at Amazon.

No reviews yet on Metacritic as of this writing, but they will be at this link when they arrive:

i have never been so excited/anticipating a game as much as i am this one! all it has to do is match its predecessor and i will be satisfied

ign has a pretty good preview of it, but i can't wait until i can play the real thing

I'm still waiting for them to fix the "crash on area load" bug on the PC. LucasArts can bite me.

So many great games this year! I also can't wait until this one.

Yeah, this is the one I am waiting for too. Have to free up some HD space on the xbox.

what exactly is that about? I beat KOTOR on the xbox, the only complain I have is it takes way too long to load between areas. It's ridicoules long, even when loading off HDD directly.

i had it for pc, but i never had a single problem with it

I really don't like RPG games, I never play them. BUT when I played KOTOR for the xbox, I was blown away. True I am a huge geek and I love star wars, but the game was so much fun, and the story was just amazing.

I beat it once on the light side first, then once on the dark side. I think I will have to do the same with this one, but the second time through I will do a lot more of the side-quests that they have.

I will be getting this the day it comes out!

Which version is better? Xbox vs PC? I may pick it up now seeing it is around $30... my 'game' price sweetspot

The PC version should have better graphics but the Xbox one will have better sound (5.1 DD) and it's more comfortable sitting on your couch in front of a big TV than on a chair in front of your monitor.

Good point! I beleive PC has some pretty cool mods as well... just like Morrowind.

When is it being released for PC? This is definately a game that I'm going to get and play the hell out of..

release date for PC, Feb 2005. hope it's as good as KOTOR.

I haven't run into any major bugs on the XBox version. I personally prefer console games, I stare at a computer screen all day already.

I have seen the XBox version for under $15 (used) at the Cash Converters at Victoria Park and Lawrence (beside Toys R Us.) This was a month or two ago but they had a few copies.

It's well worth it, it will keep you busy for at least 40 hours if you get into it. It's the best RPG I've played because it appeals to both newbies and the hardcore types as well. Damn addictive game.

I thought Morrowind was one of the worst RPG's I've played. Sure it had a really cool world you could explore. But man did the fighting ever suck.

I never did get into KOTOR. I just didn't have the patience for it. I found the micro-managing too tiresome to deal with after a long day of work.

I prefer mindlessly blowing stuff up.
