Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: Great Game, Just Not As Good As The Original

Knights of the Old Republic was the best game I have ever played and I thought the sequel would be even better, but I found out I was wrong.
I preferred the storyline of the original, which had some of the best plot twists I have ever seen; not just in video games, but in film as well. KOTOR II had better game play (or at least there were more combat features and enemies on the screen), but I felt it was done at the expense of both the storyline and the size of the worlds.
Even though KOTOR had some content cut (i.e. the upgrades for the swoop bikes that I noticed), The Sith Lords alluded to an entire planet that was not seen in the game and its ending left much to be desired. The reason behind the cut content was due to rushing the game two months early to correspond with the 2004 Holiday Season. I would rather have waited the additional two months to have a more complete game.
I still award it with a high ranking, but it does not deserve the coveted 5/5.
