This is hands down the best Star Wars game of any type I have ever played! The graphics are awesome, and the lightsaber duels are incredible. I've been playing it nonstop for four days now and I can't get enough. The new weapons in the game are cool, but I find myself playing almost exclusively with the saber. As the game progresses, you are simply unstopable as you knock roomfulls of enemies around with the Force and chop them into bits. Raven's attention to detail is amazing, and I have yet to encounter a bug of any kind. What are you waiting for? Get it NOW!
Best FPS I've ever played

I can easily say that SW: JKII is the best first-person shooter I've ever played. Lucasarts and Raven both collaborated to make a gaming masterpiece. With graphics that take your breath away and gameplay that consumes hours upon hours of your time, I have not been disappointed one second of playing. Another great aspect of this game is the challenge. Some first person shooters are just arcade-esque where you just run around killing things, (Don't get me wrong, I like those games as well.) Jedi Knight 2 has such great depth and puzzles involved. So to George Lucas and all those involved with creating this game, I salute you.
ATTENTION ALL STAR WARS FANS: GO OUT AND BUY STAR WARS JEDI!

Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is by far the best Star Wars Computer Game out there. I knew this was going to be a good one when LucasArts team up with Raven Software to make this game. Raven Software is one of the best Computer Game Developers out there right now. The graphics, the music, and the sound are unbelievable. I've only played the first level in the Single Player game so far, but from what I've seen and heard so far I was impressed. When I was playing this game, I thought I was in a Stars War movie. It was so much fun getting into blaster gun battles with my blaster rifle against the evil Galactic Empire Stormtroopers. The Stormtroopers don't just come at you when they're fighting you. They actually team up against you and when the Stormtroopers can see they are losing a battle with you, the ones that are left still alive will actually run away from you and hide somewhere to try to ambush you. It reminded me of the blaster gun battles fought in the Star Wars movies. I can't wait to go through more levels in the game. I hope LucaArts teams up with Raven Software to make more Star Wars Computer Games in the future.

Nice Game. Good game to pass the time. More involved than the last one. One thing wrong: LOAD TIME! I have never in my life had a game that took this long to load. When I start this game, I can wash and wax my car, only to come back and wait for it to finish loading. It is not like I have an old system.
1.7 GH, 256mb RDRam, Nvidia G-Force 2 GTS, & 48x cdrom.
You have to have the patience of Job to wait on this one. Younger less patient people will throw something or pitch a fit.

I bought this game after months of hype only to discover that you dont have the light saber from the start and there arnt as many wild turkeys(or ugnoughts) to dice up as in the Jedi Knight 2. For many avid fans (and demented sickos) this isnt a problem but for others (such as me...)but anyway....
The missions involve taxing and (occasionally useless) illogical puzzles which usually involve mad jumpy puzzles or crazy 'find the grate' puzzles. And with such large missions such as the Artus Mine mission it can take hours just to find one bloody grate!
The game features REALLY sweet weapons but theres no blood! You should be able to througly chop up your attackers instead of this kiddy [stuff]. My guess is that lucasarts toned down the violence purposly as not to wreck their reputation. Raven would have done the opposote if they had total control.
Lots of starwars fans will really enjoy finally going to places such as Yavin and meeting luke skywalker but others may not so make sure you dont go and waste [you're money]!
Very good game

I am an avide player of JK1 (Dark Forces 2) and I am also in a clan on the zone which we have spread to JO (Jedi Outcast) and the saber movements on JO are astounding I love them, also the force powers are great.
Cool but has been done before

My brother and I recently bought this game and beat within only a matter of days. It's cool side is that you have greater sabre ability (Ex: throwing), the force powers are much more useful. I'm sure that most game fans will love this one. On the other hand though, I'm just becoming tired of first-person shooter games. Also I think that some of the designs and the story line for this game are really weak. Desan is a geek. His minions are geeks. The character designs as well as the story line look like they were concieved with in a day or two. Instead of a fresh idea, they just regurgatate the Valley of the Jedi plot from the last game. Then again, maybe I'm just completely gamed out...

When I went over to my friends house I saw the demo they were playing. This is game is awesome. It's like being a jedi. You have jedi powers like pull, mind tricks, push throwing lightsabers & more! When I came home I used my money I was saving up on a PS2 & bought it. I don't even want a PS2 anymore. It is that good! These are the Audiences I recommend it for: Dark Forces fans, first person shooter gamers, Star Wars fans, kids 10 & up, & espiecially teens... Oh yeah, the graphics are as good as on a PS2 (amazing).

The powers are really cool and the lightsaber moves are sweet. You can cut peoples arms off and stuff. In decapataion mode you can slice thier heads off. The graphics for computer are O-K but once it comes out for X-Box they will be better. But of course there are going to be some new sweet games like Brute Force out.
