Gamespy have a preview of KOTOR 2 up, an interesting little read for anyone awaiting the games release. Never played the original KOTOR myself, but I am certainly a fan of other work that Bioware have been involved in.

The preview concludes:-

It isn't often that a sequel to a quality title from a different developer carries through the enjoyment and strong gameplay of the original. But Obsidian has obviously done its homework and the team's familiarity with BioWare's work and style make this sequel one that, should the glitches get worked out, will stay on my PC desktop next to its predecessor long after other titles have worn out their welcome.
