Ups and Downs of KOTOR I and II (2 blogs for 1)
Once again lets cut right to the chase of today's entry, which is part V in the 20-somewhat part blog.

Both KOTOR I and II Ups:

1. One of the greatest storyline of any Star Wars game
2. Good graphics
3. Great Gameplay
4. Very long, which makes for much more fun.
5. So much stuff to do like upgrade weapons, explore planets, talk/interact with people, and much more.
6. So much information about the time period in the Star Wars Universe that's very intriguing to read- one of my favorite parts of the game.
7. Very dramatic (HINT: PLAY KOTOR I BAD AND KOTOR II GOOD TO GET THE MOST DRAMA OUT OF BOTH GAMES)- [SPOILER ALERT!] In KOTOR I when you get to kill your teammates and friends when bad is the best as well as in KOTOR II when you see Kreia kill the remaining members of the Jedi Council. [SPOILER ALERT ENDS HERE!]
8. Overall a fun game that will keep you occupied and educate you in the history of Star Wars for a long time.


KOTOR I DOWNS:

1. I didn't like the part about the Star Forge, but I guess they needed something to put in there so I don't really have too much to complain about.

KOTOR II DOWNS:

1. Horrible ending... unless they make a third one this might be one of the most confusing and worst ending of any Star Wars game.
2. [SPOILER ALERT!]I did not like how they made Malachor V look...[SPOILER ALERT ENDS HERE!]


THINGS BETTER IN KOTOR I:

1. Much better ending for both good and bad.

THINGS BETTER IN KOTOR II:

1. More weapons/powers/customizable items.
2. Better storyline (until the end)


KOTOR I and II:

Graphics: 9.25
Storyline: 10
Gameplay: 9.7
Music/Sound: 9.25
Dialogue: 10
Multiplayer: n/a
Replayability: n/a (you can play it as many times as you want either good or bad, but that's up to the player so I won't give a ranking here)


Overall: 9.64 out of 10. Both games are amazing. You learn so much about the history of Star Wars and get to explore so much. The dialogue is great and so is the gameplay (once you get used to it). If you like games where you get to choose things for yourself, like to explore, or want to relive and learn the history of Star Wars during this time period, this is the game for you. I would also strongly recommend playing the first game good and the second game bad to get the most interesting and dramatic results.

Comments are welcome, but please no bashing. MTFBWY.
