![]() ![]() The cut-scenes in-between levels are marvelously done. The story is well-written and interesting, and it develops nicely throughout. or a mix of the three?) the playing to be a worthwhile and memorable experience. The freedom in the game, though not absolute, is impressive and helps(do you want to saber through the next room of enemies, use your Force Powers to either confuse or even destroy them, use your main arsenal. and they're certainly also cool(Rail Detonator, anyone? And you get to use Chewie's Bowcaster, as well as the Stormtrooper Rifle). There are regular FPS weapons, as well.the basic types of such are all there. the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. do you make special efforts to keep them safe, or do you downright strike them down?) will ultimately decide your fate in the game. At first, as they gradually become available to you, you will be able to choose powers from either side of the Force, as your path has yet to be completely decided(you're always able to choose Neutral Powers, and they are also the first ones you can get), but your actions(for example towards bystanders. throw debris at your opponents(it could perhaps be argued that the debris could be more subtly integrated) and Force Grip("I find your lack of faith. They include the Neutral Powers of Force Jump, Force Pull(steal the Stormtroopers' rifles right from their hands, telekinetically!), the Light Side Powers of Force Heal, Force Persuasion(think the Mind Tricks of the movies), and, last but not least, the Dark Side powers of Force Throw(a more aggressive telekinetic ability. what can I say? It's like the people behind the game managed to somehow extract all the cool-ness of the Force use in the films, and injected so much into this that everyone playing gets a generous portion(without it taking over, or removing challenge from the game). As if that, alone, wasn't enough(and didn't do enough by itself to place this at a level above and beyond the standard FPS, with respect to such). you can not only use it as an offensive weapon, but you can also use it to deflect enemy laser fire(and block enemy sabers. As the Trivia page truthfully puts forth, this features, and was the first game to feature, a *fully* functioning Lightsaber. However, you will acquire a Lightsaber, and as you become more and more experienced in the ways of the Force, Force Powers will become available to you, making for what I can assure you is a *really* fun time. you do, indeed, start out in a fashion similar to such. Jedi Knight can essentially be played as a First Person Shooter set in the Star Wars universe. The game has you taking on the role of Kyle Katarn, known from the first Dark Forces game(which I, unfortunately, have yet to be able to play more than the demo of, and due to it being made for older systems, it's not as easily accessible, partially due to compatibility), a mercenary who finds himself the only real threat to the plans of a band of Dark Jedi, who seek the mystical and mythical Valley of the Jedi, a place of immense power. It's addictive, fun, and what it introduced when it came out is commendable. which is not to say that the sequel isn't good, but this is the better of the two), and, quite honestly, it can be downright *criminally* entertaining. It has aged quite well(searching for Star Wars on this very site, this came up before its sequel. I just wish a sequel would come out with an updated game engine. Overall, the game is excellent and I highly recommend this title to any Star Wars fan. At the time the game was made, however, video game cut-scenes were still fairly new and not perfected yet, so I let some of these faults slide. The soundtrack seems to be a second or two off with the lips of the actors and the acting in general is very amateur. The only other problem I have is that the cut-scene videos in the single player game could have been made better. While that is fun for a while, it quickly gets dull. ![]() The only kind of multi-player game seems to be a deathmatch where players try to kill each other the most number of times. One of the biggest complaints about the game is the limited multi-player options. Numerous add-ons and skin packs greatly enhance the fun of gameplay. While the engine is a little dated, most people will find the graphics still look good (in 1024X768 mode) and the gameplay is very well done. Nothing else has captured the feel of being a lightsaber-wielding Jedi in the Star Wars universe as well as this game has. Even 3 years after it's release, this is still my favorite first person game and my favorite Star Wars game. ![]()
