Too many switches

This game is a great game to play, especially because it has a low price tag at most stores. The only problem I had was that there were too many switches. Most of the game was made up of pushing switches to unlock a plethora of locked places. Other than that, this game is a must have for any computer gamer.

Not necessarily the best FPS at first, but stick with it and it'll pay off

now, of course, Star Wars games all sound completely awesome, especially when they have the word "Jedi" in their name twice. Just the thought of wielding a lightsaber and dueling with evil jedi has been known to give heart attacks to many a nerd. And with good reason. When you first get this game, you may become discouraged or disappointed that you don't start with a lightsaber. Thats alright, that's what cheats are for. JK2 is a great game, but the single player can be lacking at times. Cheats can indeed make the game better (particularly the map-switching cheats). But buy this game not for the single-player, but rather for the simply stunning multiplayer game. It's made off of the Quake 2 engine, so thats sayin somethin good already. Most servers play "Saber-Only" style (which is pretty self-explanitory). Possibly the best part of the multiplayer game is the ability to fully customize your player's force powers. You can choose from the basic "push" and "pull", but there is also a power that renders you invisible to enemies, and yes, they have that awesome lightning attack that the emperor used in RETURN OF THE JEDI. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a good connection and picking up this game.

For once i actually agree with someone. THIS GAME ROCKS!

Jedi knight 2 is.....unbelivable. Using force grip to choke a pathetic newb online as someone comes up beside u and sabres the crud outa the newb....is exilerating if anything. hehehehe. Any gamer anywhere who plays anything....and has a PC, i really think it is a great awesome fantastic idea to get this game. Also playing on single player against the storm troopers and siths really helps you on online play. Some day u may be the jedi master. Ya stinkin newbs.

Best Starwars game of all time!!!

This game is what every star wars fan has ever wanted. Being a Jedi and acually using a jedi's powers and lightsaber is so cool. The best part is of the game is acually playing tons of people online in huge lightsaber battles. This game is a must buy!

awesome game, definitely!

I love this game! I bought it the day after it came out, and I was very impressed. The best part of this game has to be the lightsaber. I don't think there's anything cooler in this game besides the Force powers. Well Done, LucasArts.

Jedi Knight II, the best yet?

Yes, probably THE BEST Star Wars game out to date. It has amazing 3D- Graphics that will continue to amaze you. Music is classic, I mean come on it's Star Wars. The gameplay is spectacular. You can go into a massive Free For All with guns and sabers with up to 16 people or even go 1 on 1, saber to saber. Also you can create maps! So you can have an endless amount of places to play. But please keep in mind it takes LOTS and LOTS of work to make a map. JediMod3.3, a great add on to this which give you even more gameplay! It allows you duel sabers, double bladed, the yoda model, pretty much everything! This mod is great and expands the SW universe even further. Single Player, it's only flaw. You don't start out with your lightsaber, but that's ok, you get it later. Towards the end of the game it gets very, very good. Then, on the last level you have been waiting forever, and somehow feel disappointed by the ending. Great game though, recommend buying it if your PC can handle it.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Sequel

JKII is one of the best Star Wars games of all time this game is a complete masterpiece after you get past the uninspired first three levels. You take on the role of Kyle Katarn with his sidekick JanOrs. The story begins seven years after the previous events of Jedi Knight. As some of you may know Kyle swore to never use his lightsaber again. After he is manipulated into a game of cat and mouse with an evil Jedi Lord, Kyle must relearn the ways of the force. Unlike the orginal games you do not have the choice of the light and dark side of the force. Instead you will learn your powers as you progress through the game. The higher your rank the better you are in the ways of the force. In my opinion the multiplayer battles are the real fruit here. You can battle your friend or polish your skills of the lightsaber against enemy bots. Their skill level is determined by how high of a rank you put yourself in at the create a game screen. You can choose from a variety of characters and blades including gold, yellow, blue green, orange, magneta, and red. There are a variety of levels and settings including duel where you can choose to fight at the bespin carbon chambers. All in all this is a great game all around I strongly suggest it and would love to battle one of you over the gamepro server sometime. May the force be with you.

An excellent sequel.

The Star Wars universe has had many bad games enter recently. From the GBA Attack of the Clones, to Obi-Wan on the X-Box, Star Wars games have been terrible, with few exceptions. However, Jedi Outcast may just break the mold. JO is the sequel to the ground breaking Jedi Knight. JK's inclusion of Force powers and Lightsaber combat to a FPS was simply groundbreaking. JO was developed by Raven Software, the developers of Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, so rest assured that this is a good game. The sounds are (As always) great, with Billy Dee Williams reprising his role as Lando Calrission. And, as before, the multiplayer version is great. Ever wanted to lightsaber duel your brother? Now you can. Go buy this game. And may the Force be with you.

GOD is the word of the day

To bad gamepro only goes up 5.0 cuz this deserves a 10.99999999999 It is so awesome. Throwing guys over cliffs while they are screaming like little girls and you laughing like a madman(not in game but thinking of it.) You also get other specials like mind control where you use on a guy, hes right infront of you saying "Whos there?!" Dont you whish you can just punch, that would be much embrassing to him then killing him with a lightsabre or a gun. So in other words this game can be packed up in two words, FUN GAME!
