[warcrow]

Looks like we still have about a year to wait (Feb).


- The Sith Lords is the next chapter to Knights of the Old Republic; winner of more than 35 "Game of The Year Awards" featuring an all-new and perilous storyline set approximately 4,000 years before Star Wars Episode I.
- All-new Force powers, weapons, locations, characters and classes add to the richness of this next epic installment.
- Choose from three different classes of Jedi to start the game with access to specific Jedi abilities.
- Choose the light or the dark side of the Force based on your characters actions as you progress through the story. The choices you make not only affect your character, but also those in your party, and those who may join you in your quest.
- Cameo appearances from memorable characters of the first game enhance the continuity and story flow through this unique time period.
- Additional content will be available for The Sith Lords via Xbox Live.
- Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the development house founded by members of the Fallout, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Dark Alliance, and Planescape: Torment teams

After hearing about this a week or so ago, I started replaying the game to see the Dark Side ending. Almost done and its just as good, if not better, the second time around. Can't wait for the 2nd

(On the downside, it's still using the same engine which means the graphics won't be any better. Oh well, hopefully they can fix some of the framerate issues.)

 

[Joemonkey]

how long after release will they port to pc?

EDIT: nevermind, saw it on the site, Feb 2005!

Xbox, why not pick up the PC version? They're scheduled to come out in Feb

I'd suggest picking up this month's Electronic Gaming Monthly and Computer Gaming World. I have subscriptions to both, and both magazines offer in-depth previews to both the XBOX and PC versions, with supposed exclusive screenshots (I say supposed because you just never know these days). It's a good read in both magazines.

Yea, I found the Sith side to be more entertaining.

What I did, on my second go through as Sith was only level up twice on the first planet (Taris) and after that keep playing through saving all level points until you become a Jedi. I was leveling up the atributes points though, into wisdom (so i could be more points per level up). Once that happens, you will be able to drop points into several abilities and really unleash hell. It was a blast.

How did the game look? GFX seem any different?
