I liked Peragus (the whole "wake up and everything's deserted except a creepy old woman, a pervert and some homicidal droids" thing was cool) but Nar Shaddaa was stupid...too many side-quests...and you have to deal with the Exchange telling you that you'd be stupid to attack them then pwn them all when you do attack them.
I think one of the problems with K2 was that in K1 you were fighting the same enemy the whole game: the Sith Empire. In K2 you're supposed to be fighting the Sith Triumvirate, but on each level you barely fight any Sith. Your enemies are always a band of mercenaries or insurgents (Dantooine: Mercenaries Onderon: Separatists Nar Shaddaa: Exchange Telos: Czerka) There's never a common enemy, although it's supposed to be the Sith.
Plus the goal in K1 was clear: Find the Star Forge, kill Malak, destroy it. End of Sith. But in K2 the goal is never that clear: Spend like 50 hours of gameplay reuniting 3 Jedi Masters only to have Kreia kill them all with a single Force Drain once you finally get them back together. Then you kill Nihilus (who I thought was going to be the "big bad boss" like Malak was in K1) not at the end of the game but still a planet away, then go to Malachor where you fight a bunch of storm beasts, switch to Mira and kill Hanharr (or at least leave him there), switch to the Remote and activate the MSG, then have GO-TO arrive and try to kill you, then the screeen cuts back to the Exile. Then the Exile runs around slaughtering Sith Assassins, walking through the maze of tunnels that lead nowhere in the Trayus Academy, then kill Sion, then walk into something that resembles the Kraken's mouth from Pirates of the Caribbean and kill an old woman who floats around lightsabers. Not a good ending.
Although I agree with you Ivalice, Rakata Prime was pretty cool. Except the Rakata's language always makes them sound like they're angry at you.
