Summary: yhea....... about that....
Review: ok first off, best 1 player action ever. you can choose the powers you want and the storyline's pretty interesting, but you need to be into starwars to love it.Now, about the multiplayer. its one of the best parts of Jedi knight 2, and i still play it even after a year of owning it. But this one, wasnt even close. The graphics were much better, MUCH, but there were so few people on, it became boring. And there were only 5 maps, opposed to the 15 in Jedi Knight 2. And the names of the maps were ffa1, ff2, ffa3, etc. But like i said before, the grafics are cool.......

Summary: r_dynamicglow 0
Review: I have to say straight off I have only played the demo, but I thought this might help those with framerate issues. If you open a console (Shift-tilde) and type: r_dynamicglow 0 It turns off an extra 'halo' effect around sabers, lava, &c. It does _not_ turn off dynamic lighting. Your framerates will probably double or triple. On my computer with it on at 1600x1200, I can get around 17-25fps, with it off, around 55-75fps or higher. That said, I left it on and play at lower resolution, but I have to admit its effects are very subtle compared to the framerate hit. Try toggling it (r_dynamicglow 0 for off and r_dynamicglow 1 for on) with your saber(s) out and decide if it is worth it for you.

Review: This game is okay. There are some cool things and some things that suck. The story is that you're a new republic mercenary and you and your girlfriend are going to investigate this imperial outpost that appears to be abandoned. From here the plot develops. Now, down to the game. Pros OK Graphics
Some hilarious physics (you can open some airlocks and set 20 stormtroopers flying out into space hehehehe)
Cool force powers
A nice amount of weapons
Cool multiplayer mode with tons of maps and bots
Nice cutscenes
Stormtroopers and officers talk casually about really funny things
Low system requirements
Medium size levels (plenty of them too, there are 25 in all) Cons The shadows are crappy
Some really confusing puzzles
Unrealistic payload
Useless texturing
You are way to strong
First level is hard even on easy mode
When you have 17 players playing on multiplayer it can get pretty jerky
Many missions where you have keep other goodguys alive (AARGH!)
Mushy scenes with your girlfriend Verdict All in all this is a pretty good game. The levels are fun and big. The enemies are plenty (the more the merrier). LucasArts could have down a better job with the graphics and the puzzles are to hard the first time. However, multiplayer is a hugely reedeeming quality. Also, here at amazon, the price is great. You are getting a lot of bang for your buck.

Summary: mistake corrected
Review: This started out a game with no real action. sure, bang bang, punch, bang. it bgins an uphill journey, which makes it impossible to find all of the secret areas. i wish, one of these days, Lucasarts would make a game that actually has the character start out with a lightsaber, but noooooooooo, you have to work for it. the aspect of the game in the sense that you finally get to choose whether you actually are a light or dark jedi is fun. you got to hand it to the weapons, though. a tip to readers, the 13th level may seem unbeatable, but when you get into the colloseum-like area, DO NOT FIGHT, by any means, because thay just come back. instead, jump on the boxes, then onto the ledge where there is one troop. kill him, pull the lever that opens the door and RUN into it. kil hte couple of troops inside then close the door and hop on the elavator for the ride of your life, or death. In the last level, against Jerec, do not let him into the tube that goes up!!!!! he automaticly heals when he reaches the top. I found it useful to block the entrance with my body. Pros:
FINALLY, A LIGHTSABER!!!!
weapons reallistic
voice and cutscenes are awesome. Cons:
graphics are not as hot as they should be
blaster are weak
rifles are too strong. in conclusion, this game has its ups and downs, which is a good thing for hard-core starwars fans. for starwars and rpg fans: get
for shoot em' up gamers: be careful
for gamers who like to sneak, as in splinter cell: stay away at all costs!

Summary: Pleasing. And strangely lacking.
Review: At first , i am dumbfounded by the lack of proper collision handling with the graphics engine. There are literally times when i am standing on nothing, but do not fall. Or, i am standing in front of someone and my saber is going through him, causing a trail of smoke and a slicing sound, but that person is not being affected by it. Also, in the training levels, you will even notice that the storm-troopers are not standing directly on the ground. Somehow they are standing 1/4 of an inch above the soil. I began to worry during the training levels. Then there was the blah textures as well. I was flat out scared that they were dumping a mediocre follow-up on a bunch of unsuspecting gamers. Then, like magic, the game actaully started. I went through the horrible training levels, and into a very well crafted game. I am not sure why they allowed such mediocrity in the training levels. But, the game itself is sweet. A meaty design, with lots of options on creating your own personal identity as the character. Bringing back our old favorites from jedi knight 2 and adding a great lineup of new/classic players. My favorite, chewbacca. It's nice to be reminded of the 'whole' star wars universe, instead of just the Luke Skywalker character. You should be pleasantly surprised overall that this game is immersive and challenging. If only the textures were as advanced as they should be, this would be a 5 star. In any case, this took an hour to grow on me. Now, i think i'm in love. VIVA STAR WARS!

Summary: Pretty cool
Review: It's a great game and all. You can also play the bonus games when you beat the missions. The problom is certain levels are realy hard to beat so after that there's nothing really to do. I mean you could still try and beat the game except those particular levels take miracles to pass. It is a very cool role playing game for several reasons. It has good graphics and a wide variety of enemies and weapons. On one of the last levels you even command a walker and kick some stormtrooper ... ! It's a hard call on buying it. If you buy it, oh sure you may enjoy it for weeks or even months. But once you get stuck and get bored with the bonus stuff (which you may not get bored with)that's like fifty bucks down the drain. Or you might get the game down early or you just played the other games and get past the tough levals. It totally depends on your skills as a gamer and whether or not you will get bored with it. It's your decision. My advice is be wise in your purchase and be absolutely sure you want it. P.S. if you become a crazed fan of this game for some far off reason look for the two other Star Wars games.

Summary: not to be confused with a game with good graphics
Review: This game is great. I will start out with that. However, notice that this is the FIRST Jedi Knight game. It is the SECOND 'Dark Forces' game. The first of which was a Doom engine like Hexen. Its graphics engine is Doom2 era and grainy as hell. I believe it has support for 1 video accelerator though I am not sure. The other pitfall of playing a classic like this is that you can not use the mouse to aim. The mouse movements are limited to left and right, still have to use keyboard for aiming. If you are okay with that then have at it. I know I have reloaded this game on my spanking system just so replay it....twice. The gameplay was great, the story was great, overall a good packe. I believe it won at leat one Game of the Year accolade when it was out.

Summary: Play it for the speeder mission...
Review: This latest Jedi offering has more good points than bad: The Good:
- The ability to customize your character.
- More Force power options.
- More light saber moves/styles.
- Double-Bladed light saber or double-single sabre option.
- *Mission where you get to ride and fight in a speeder, kind of like a futuristic demolition derby, great fun!
- Riding Tauntauns.
- Very few stupid puzzles.
- Tons of light saber fighting opportunites!
- Raven Software (Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2) co-built the game.
- Force Grip power more fun than ever! (Build up your Grip power then use it to grab stormtroopers and drop them from cliffs, use them as shields, etc..) The bad:
- A few boring, stupid missions, like picking up ship parts in the desert.
- Force Sense power = only good for stupid puzzle-centric missions. This game is worth the money.
