Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic Ii: The Sith Lords (2004)

The first KOTOR game, produced by BioWare, was one of the best in the Star Wars franchise. The second title uses the same great engine but is by a different developer, and with that comes a significant shift in tone. While the first game presents themes from the iconic themes, KOTOR II takes on a much more broody, dark atmosphere. It's in this that you can find one of its main strengths. There isn't a simple line between good and evil, but human characters who have to make hard decisions. Once more, you inhabit the world 4,000 years before the films, but this time it's after the Jedi civil war, with their presence waning and with looking to kill as many as possible. It's your job to stop them, but don't expect any recognition. Jedi's aren't too popular in this world, and the story is more of a personal one than a large-scale galactic war. Though it doesn't quite reach the epic nature of the first game, its narrower focus results in a long-lasting impact.
