Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith

After playing Jedi Knight, I wanted more. And I got it. This expansion pack was a blessing. It not only featured Kyle Katarn and more of his adventures; it also featured Mara Jade of the Timothy Zahn Thrawn novels. And some of those exact same creatures and characters from those books. Of all the games featuring Mara Jade, this was the only one I got to play (and enjoyed).

The new weapons, Force powers, and tools in this game were similar to Duke Nukem 3D, especially the remote-trigger mines, the freeze gun, and the projection ability. But unlike Duke Nukem 3D, this was less Doom-styled graphics and more Jedi Knight. Plus, we get fourteen more levels to play in addition to the twenty-something from Jedi Knight. Oh, and the voice acting was pretty good too. We get Terrence McGovern (from the old Ducktales and Darkwing Duck) and Rino Romano (who would later star in Curious George and Godzilla: The Series).

My only beef with Mysteries of the Sith was that some of the puzzles were a little too hard and could be frustrating. Some of them I passed with a cheat code or two, though I prefer to save those for when I'm severely taxed. Anyway, that's not the point. Just try it if you liked Jedi Knight and want more of the same. It's worth your while, even with the dated graphics.
