Star Wars: KotOR II Magazine Preview Goes Online

Electronic Gaming Monthly has released an online version of their Star Wars: KotOR II: The Sith Lords preview that was originally released in their magazine a couple of months ago. Check it out:

Structurally, the game is similar to the first KOTOR. The Sith Lords is mostly linear but with a lot of freedom to choose what specifically you do next. In all, you’ll visit seven worlds (most of which have lots of separate game areas within), including Dantooine from the first game. But don’t expect Dantooine to look like the peaceful grasslands where you killed kath hounds of yore. Remember, the planet was ravaged by Malak’s army and the Jedi Academy was destroyed, so this Dantooine looks a lot different. “We don’t want KOTOR 1 players to think we’re re-using stuff,” says Gallo (a veteran of the original KOTOR team). “We want to hearken back to the first game…but we want it to be a different experience for them.” The other worlds will be totally new; the team, however, is keeping the identities of these worlds under wraps for now. We do know, though, that you’ll visit Telos, home planet to the first KOTOR’s Carth character.
