Summary: Fun game, too easy
Review: Dont get me wrong, this was a pretty fun game and the story was decent. Graphics were good and enjoyable...The game would deem a challenge if it weren't for force powers. I mean, the game was more of a challenge pre-lighsaber. Granted it was just the first few levels so it couldn't be anything too hardcore. If the game was restricted like the first few levels, it would have deems difficult, but it isn't now is it? The game becomes tedious and boring right about then. Force Speed + Lightsaber = Everyone Dies....At the offset of an engagement, activate force speed and you whip around too fast for anyone to kill you. So every bad guy you come across, you activate that and run at them causing their demise. Not to mention the force choke off high place ;-) overall the game was fun, but it loses a lot of points because it gets too easy with the force speed followed by lightsaber attack...

Summary: Jedi Knight is worth the price
Review: I have been a fan of this series since the first Dark Forces came out. When I heard about the sequal to it I was excited and then extatic when i found out you turn into a jedi through the game. Now the third one came out. I picked it up as a b-day present to myself and was thoroughly impressed. The graphics are phenomenal. I love the fighting with the lightsaber in this one better than the second one. The flipping off walls and using force powers is a lot easier than in the the first Jedi Knight. Now for the gripes. The computer tends to make the bad guys move to fast. I found myself cursing the stormtroopers because i would take aim and then they'd be behind me. My biggest gripe of the whole game is the storyline. The first jedi knight had a really involved storyline involving many main villians. This one really has only one villian and boss who is faced at the end. Also many things were brought up and then never explained. I have beaten the game and i thought the overall ending was kind of anti-climatic. You go through this whole ordeal and the ending is just kinda of blah. But overall definately worth picking up if your looking for a new game.

Summary: Game of the year
Review: I own all of the Dark Forces games (yes, Jedi Knight is a spur off of Dark Forces) and this game is incredible. I have not yet stopped playing it. I am a complete geek when it comes to Star Wars and it is usually hard to please me with Star Wars games, but Lucas Arts did a fine job with this one. Definately a must buy!

Summary: This is a great game; not a waste of your time at all.
Review: I too, am a fan of Star Wars and more specificly the Dark Forces games. I have all the previous games myself, but bought the Collector's Edition just for the purpose of collecting it. Jedi Outcast or Jedi Knight 2 or Dark Forces III or whatever you want to call it, is a great game. I haven't beaten it yet, but I am having a blast playing it. Sure, it's no Half-Life, but it is most definitely fun and not a waste of time. So, regardless of which case you buy this game in, I strongly recommend getting it. If you don't get the Collector's Edition, be sure to at least get Dark Forces and Jedi Knight because those are fun as well.

Summary: JKII Rules All!!!!
Review: I've been waiting for this game for a long, long time. And thankfully, it was well worth the wait. For the single player, the gameplay is excellent, the cinematics are of the expected stunning quality, and the plot is very well laid out too. The multiplayer is beyond awesome. It features Duels in tournament style, Free for alls, Team FFA, you name it. Hours of endless entertainment. Well worth the price and well worth the wait. If you liked the other Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, this one will blow you away. Guaranteed.

Summary: Three of the best shooters ever made
Review: If you haven't played Dark Forces or Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, then get this collector's edition, as they contain both these excellent titles as well as Jedi Outcast. If you already have these games, get the normal version... .Now, on to the game. Be warned- if you aren't good at shooters, Jedi Outcast will be a very hard game. It was possible to beat DF I and II with minimal skill at other shooters like Half-life or Unreal, but it isn't any longer. This is largely due to the absence of auto-aiming, which made mowing down a roomful of stormtroopers with the blaster rifle a simple task in the previous games. Now you'd either have to land a head shot every time, or have something that makes a very large explosion. Kyle seems to have lost his knack for firing while moving, and he doesn't move as fast or jump as high as he used to. Must be getting old and tired, but who can blame the guy? Enemies are also tougher across the board, and move a lot faster and smarter than they did in previous games. They also back each other up, retreat if wounded, and make effective use of cover. Jedi Knight II uses the Quake III engine, and really pushes it to the limit. This is good and bad. On one hand, the graphics are incredible. On the other, if you don't have a reasonably powerful PC and graphics card, you probably won't be able to run the game with any of the incredible graphics. It's pretty important you are able to see the new effects, because when it comes down to it, the gameplay isn't a whole lot more different than Jedi Knight I. On that note, this sequel pretty much adheres to the premise of the series. Many of the weapons will be quite familiar, and the enemies you encounter even more so. There is, however, much more interaction in this game- you can hear enemies chatting, view security camera feeds, and generally play with the environment more. Many objects in the environment are fully destructible, some spectacularly so. One of my favorite parts was driving one of the mouse robots by remote control. After shooting about a million of them in the last two games, it was kinda cool to see things from their perspective :-) Overall, the game is an improvement over DF 2, though you might notice a lack of greater depth in the levels since the Q3 engine doesn't do those well. The puzzles in the missions are still there, but be warned that some of them are quite counterintuitive and obscure. I've already been stuck several times, and when I finally learned how to get out (usually from consulting with other players) it was always something I would never have imagined to do- I won't be a spoiler here and blow anything for you, in case you want a shot. At any rate, I've found myself wishing they'd included the strategy guide in this edition. If you haven't played any of the old Dark Forces games, now's a great time to start! They're awesome, and you'll probably want to play Outcast after finishing them. As for Outcast itself, it's tough but in a good way. If anything, it's worth getting just to see an incredibly detailed rendition of the Star Wars universe.

Summary: lightsaber saves the gameplay
Review: Jedi Knight 2 overall is a very fun game, but if the lightsaber wasn't in the game, then it wouldn't be anything near what it is now. It starts out pretty slow on the story side and the action side. The initial weapons aren't very much fun to use and so I was playing pretty much just to get the lightsaber. Then I got it... and the force powers... Now, the combination of these makes this game VERY FUN! As soon as you get the saber, the action picks up. The ability to push your enemies and then use your saber on them while they are trying to get up is really fun. The story is satisfying but not brilliant. It can't compare to the story of Baldur's Gate II, but this is an action game so the story is not the strongest part, which is usual. At least, it gives you enough reason to slice through your enemies. The best part of the gameplay is the saber duels. They are challenging, but really fun!! They are some of the best action sequences since Half-Life. The accompanying graphics are great. The models of the enemies and their animations are very well done. The shining helmets of the imperial forces and their death animations are brilliant, including the saber animations. The sounds are also really well done. The saber sounds are especially wonderful; it really immerses you into the Kyle Katarn character, and you feel like you are actually using the saber. Finally a word on the collector's edition: It is a very good deal. The previous jedi knight games were known for their story-driven gameplay with great action sequences. Especially dark forces II is still engaging, and even though it looks dated, it is worth the 10 extra bucks. There is also a key chain in the shape of a saber, which is soooo big that I don't think I'll use it as a 'key-chain' at all. Looks nice on my table though... Final verdict? This game is great. It might not be the best action game of the year, but it still is a lot of fun. Come on now, how many games give you a saber to play with accompanied with great graphics and sound? Buy this game, you won't be sorry!

Summary: Totally Awesome!
Review: Jedi Outcast is a great game! I am not even a big Star Wars fan and I love it! The single player has a tolerable plot and loads of shoot-em-up action with a selection of weapons that can't be beat! Of course, you get to use the force in it too. Some force powers available in the game are push, pull, grip, and lightning. Also, no Star Wars game would be complete without the all-famous lightsaber. There are several things you can do with the lightsaber: three different swing stances, block throw...etc. Jedi Outcast also comes with a complete Multiplayer for all you Internet fans out there. The Multiplayer garantees several hours of fun with a selection of games to choose from such as Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Lightsaber Dueling, and many more. Jedi Outcast is full of action-packed explosive fun with great graphics and unimaginable weapons, creatures and landscapes which will leave u clicking your mouse in excitement long into the night!
