Star Wars: KotOR II Preview

GameSpy has put together a two-page preview of Star Wars: KotOR II, based upon their initial time with the final build of the game. It sounds like they were quite pleased with what they saw:
I have to admit that I was more than a bit apprehensive going into Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (KOTOR2). BioWare did a masterful job at creating the best Xbox RPG, the best Star Wars game, and, by most accounts, the best game of 2003. When the franchise was handed over to Obsidian, I was a bit worried. After playing the game for five hours it appears that all my worrying was for naught. From my short time with the game, it seems KOTOR2 will be, at the very least, a most worthy successor to BioWare's masterpiece. There's even a good chance that it will outdo its predecessor. Whether BioWare and Obsidian are Jedi or Sith, it's clear that the padawan is up to the task of wielding its master's lightsaber.
