Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast

Star Wars Jedi Outcast follows the ex-Jedi Kyle Katarn and the never ending battle between good and evil. I picked up this game a couple of months ago because I had played Dark Forces and Academy. As you can probably expect I had high expectations.

In terms of game play it wasn't that bad but some of the characters can get on your nerves. There isn't the freedom as there was in academy as you don't get to choose which force powers you want and don't. In true Star Wars fashion however there are loads of cheats and hints available on the internet. Some missions can be somewhat repetitive at times but you can be sure than many of them will have you tearing at the gums because you can't find your way. The graphics in the game aren't that bad but not as good as some i'm currently playing.

I highly recommend this game if you like star wars then you will like this game. Good graphics good detail the light saber animations are awesome if you have a high speed processor and videocard like I do the yavin level is visually stunning especially with all resources maxed out you can see the rain fizzle out on the light saber. Definatly a must.

I was crazy for this game in 2002, when it came out. I enjoyed with my friends playing the multiplayer. Than I got the game and I tried singleplayer. And I was blown away. It's an excellent story, good characters, very nice plot, very well written. For 2002, graphics were pleasurable, the sound effects also cool, good old from the films. You are Kyle Katarn, a former jedi who becomes jedi again in order to save his partner Jan Ors and stop the plans of evil sith Desann. If you never had a chance to play this game, it's never too late. If you are a Star Wars fan, and you still haven't play this game, do it. You won't regret it.

It's like you're in the movie, and I am just waiting for Hollywood to make a movie adaption. Because story goes somewhere after "Return of the Jedi". Don't take me too seriously, the movie adaption would be dumb, but, who knows.

When i first saw this game being played i fell in love with it. Nearly everything about it was so perfect but the thing i loved about the most was the lightsabre moves. There were so many and they were all good. It was the way you could walk along the walls, used force push to push a stormtrooper off a cliff etc. You can lock lightsabres in a lightsabre battle and so forth. You can do roles and flips lightsabre throw etc... The multiplayer is also excellent not only do the bots fight quite realistclly but they also talk to the other bots and you. All in all ide give this a 9.9/10

I pre-ordered this game in January this year and got my copy 2 days before the official release date, and i wasn't disappointed.

I can't credit John Williams and CO enough for the superb sound and music, you really feel like you're in the middle of a Star Wars film, blasting Stormtoopers or Saber Fighting a Sith Lord.

The story is a bit predicable, but if you're a Star Wars fan, you won't care!

The saber fighting is superb in single player mode, fast paced and very Episode I and II like! The force powers are well done, divided into 3 levels, level 1 a basic version of that force power and level 3 the most powerful version of that force power.

You can also live your Darth Vader dream and grip an opponent and throw him off an edge or just crush'em!

The movie cut scenes are a bit blocky but they're well enough done to get jist of it.

Multiplayer Saber physics are changed in the multiplayer mode, the saber fights are slowed down considerably due to the lag factor, you'll find out what I mean when you play it.

But all in all a fantastic game, one which any Star Wars fan should have! It should also appeal to Star Trek Elite Force fans too, with the same game engine and the nice guns you get in the game.

Rating 9 out of 10
