Editorial Reviews :
In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Star Wars: Jedi Knight, Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Outcast features rebel agent Kyle Katarn in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the dark side, Kyle entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future.
LucasArts is developing Jedi Outcast in partnership with Activision's critically acclaimed Raven Software. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers, and the lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes. Jedi Outcast features expanded and enhanced use of the lightsaber, with new attack and defense moves. Tap into the powers of the Force, including jump, push, Jedi mind tricks, and more. Employ combat or stealth, depending on the situation. When a fight is necessary, be at the ready with an arsenal of weapons: stun baton, Bryar blast pistol, and blaster rifle to name but a few.
Explore breathtaking Star Wars locales such as Cloud City, the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Nar Shaddaa, the smugglers' moon--plus some never-before-seen locations. Multiplayer options include deathmatch, saber-only deathmatch, and team capture the flag.
Buyer Reviews :
I won't lie, this game is complex, tough, and after awhile, not very fun.
But you can't stop.
Its complex and difficult for exactly the reasons you love in a game: There's so much you can do!
Combat-wise that is. Especially with a lightsaber. Between three fighting styles and various moves there, Force powers, high and low attacks, lightsaber dueling couldn't be more realistic. Even with just normal weapons, the complexity remains. This is not a game where you simply grab the big gun and run screaming through the levels like a madman killing everything in sight. Do that, you'll last around maybe the first corner. The enemy AI is intense. You'll find yourself flanked, outmaneuvered, and so on. I'm in the Marine reserves, I was surprised to see Stortroopers advancing in squad rushes against me.
Simply put, the game requires something I don't think any other FPS out there requires: finesse. Especially in multiplayer. In a lot of ways, that takes the fun out of it, especially starting out. You can't expect the computer to just huddle all the bad guys together like in other games, or simply stand blindly by while you snipe everyone. Head shots don't always kill, the troopers have armor after all.
All in all, an amazing game, one that takes a great amount of skill and time to master.
And you get a lightsaber.
