shooter

I recevied this game for Christmas, and let me tell you it is one of the best games i have ever played. You are Kyle Katarn a Republic mercenary and former Jedi. you start off doing missions for the Republic until a dark Jedi named Dessen captures your partner Jan, and sends you on a quest to find her, which leads you back to Luke Skywalker to ask for your lightsaber back, which he handed over when he left the academy. You watch as Kyle regains all of his force powers, with a little help from the valley of the jedi, which plays a pivotal role in the storyline of the game. Without giving too much away, i can tell you that this game has awesome graphics, excellent AI, and the best lightstaber battles of any star wars game ever. period. I highly recommend this to people who love star wars, and follow the story of the "Expanded Universe" which is played out in this game.

This game starts out as a first person shooter until you get your lightsaber. It really takes some skill at first, cause you're not sure which direction to go. It's like a big puzzle but you use your force powers to get around. Great part of this game is your force powers, when was the last time that Star Wars fans got to play around with Dark Jedi Powers?? It's always a little force push or pull, throw your light saber. This game includes, grip, lightning, dark rage, drain, plus a bunch more regular powers like force heal, that comes in really handy. your powers progress as the game moves along. The controls are a bit tough at first but you get used to it. You can save anywhere in the game. For people that have played Obi-wan, the light saber mode doesn't allow as much freedom but blocking laser shots doesnt drain all your force powers. The computer automatically blocks shots fired at you. Many cameos by luke, lando, and others. It's a sweet game, multiplayer is INSANELY fun. And to refute an earlier review, made by someone whom hasn't played the game yet, THERE IS DISMEMBERMENT OF APPENDAGES when you cut people with lightsabers. And lightsaber battle is Greatly more realistic in this game than Obi-Wan. Go Rent it and play for yourself, I rented it and now I want to buy it.

This is a great game for any skilled star wars game freak. The graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is very fun and challenging don't listen to the negative reviews claiming the game is to hard, the people who claim it's to hard are just weak at video games granted the game can frustrate but it never get's to the point where you want to throw the game out the window. This is a good game and I highly recomend it to and star wars fan. p.s. don't buy jedi academy that game is horrible! what a shame to ruin the series like that!
