Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love STAR WARS games and couldn't wait for this one.It's a cool game but not without some drawbacks.
NOTE: The game starts off as an FPS.Not until around the 7th level do you get the lightsaber and the Force.When you ignite the saber, you go into 3rd person mode.
DIFFICULTY:I'm starting with this, because this stands out the most.This game is TOUGH!I defy anyone to play through this game without consulting someone for help.I knew I was in trouble when I got stuck on the first stage!And I played the original DARK FORCES.JEDI OUTCAST consists of complicated map areas, hard puzzles, things you might not think to do, and enemies that can drain your energy quickly.
GRAPHICS:I thought they were quite good.Familiar planets is a nice touch.Has a realistic SW feel.The frame-rate is good.
SOUND:A little disappointing, particularly with regard to the lightsaber sound effect.It doesn't have half the punch that it did in OBI-WAN.The music editing is very choppy and is not done very well.Blasters sound good.
CONTROL:The default control is awful, but you can customize it to make it a lot better.Using R for the saber leads to not quite as precise lightsaber movements, but you can get used to that.You can deflect blasts with the lightsaber (and it looks awesome) but they never go back and hit the enemy!The Force is awkward to use.
MULTIPLAYER:Lots of cool places to fight (Death Star, Bespin, etc.) and you can even be a stormtrooper and have a lightsaber!
If Lucasarts took the difficulty, Force usability, lightsaber controls, sound effects, and enjoyability of OBI-WAN, with the graphics and animation of JEDI OUTCAST, we'd get one truly amazing XBOX game.
I have to say this one more time: This is game is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!It takes the fun out of it since it is so frustrating.Still, it's worth checking out.
