Jedi outcast is an awesome game. the single player sumtimes (mind sumtimes) gets repetative but is still awesome. But the thing that makes this game so good is its multiplayer aspect, multiplayer gaming is awesome with many force powers and many types of play. The quake 3 engine dazzles in this game.

Increddible-- Lucasarts at it's GREATEST!

When I went on to [a website] and looked up this game i already was totally crazy about it, the way you can manipulate the force (run on walls lift people off the ground flips, rolls etc.) i just though "wow did it blow Jedi Knight 1 out of the water... which i thought was impossible. I got the game and have been going crazy with it.
Even the easiest setting was a challenge. The levels are extremely elaborate and very much like you are actually in the star wars universe it's self, more than any other game they've come out with. Onec you aquire your light saber there's no use in using any other weapon but it, it's powerful, elegant, and deadly, just the was George Lucas wanted it. Some levels are very puzzling, but to tell you the truth, puzzles take longer to do, rather than being impossible, the harder part is finding your way around. Level walthroughs off the internet should do you well. ...

Jedi Night Ï:
Jedi Outcast

Is The Force Strong Enough To Keep This Game On Top???

Rating: Teen (violence)
Platforms: Nintendo Gamecube
PC (Windows; Mac), Microsoft Xbox
Developers: LucasArts,
Raven Software, Activision Software, and Vicarious Visions

Imagine... You are walking down a long corridor. There are huge bulkheads all around you, and a window in every other one. Outside, you see countless stars speeding by, and the hum of the hyperdrive engines grows louder as you walk. Out of the darkness ahead of you, a wall with a solitary door appears. The hum, now slightly louder, abruptly stops. "Not again." You think, as you reach into a small pouch on your belt. You pull out a long metallic stick, and push a button on it. A large narrow blue beam of pure energy arcs out. Suddenly a red beam, identical to yours erupts
out of nowhere, followed by a man in black armor. Before you have time to react, he leaps to an amazingly high altitude, and an invisible force knocks you to the ground as the mysterious figure is about to land on you... Are you dreaming? Probably not, you are probably playing LucasArt's Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

You have might have seen this game in stores, and the title didn't seem very convincing, and there isn't much else on the back, so you chose another game. As you read on, I'll tell you why you made a bad choice by putting it down, and why you may have made a good one.
Probably the best things about it are the characters. They are thoroughly described through how they act (with a little help from the bios in the manual and in the game).
Unlike LucasArt's The Clone Wars and Rouge Leader: Rouge Squadron II, Outcast is centered on one person: Kyle Katarn. A former Jedi, Kyle gave up his force powers in fear of going to the dark side. He joined the imperial army, but resigned before the fall of the empire. Now he helps to uncover remnant imperial forces for the New Republic. With his pilot Jan Ors, he encounters storm troopers, the terrifying Reborns and Shadowtroopers, and the dark Jedi Desann.

Don't think that the bad guys are easy to beat, because they are not. However you only need one factor on you're side to `search and destroy' in a matter of speaking: guns and bombs. The weapons- well, to put simply: Rock. You have a choice of 13 controllable weapons, and two that you cannot have if you already have the other one (The stun Baton and the Lightsaber). The overall vote of best weapon (out of five anonymous people), was the lightsaber, which you can perform combo attacks, and block/reflect other enemies' shots. Second best (out of the same people, including myself) was the Imperial Heavy Repeater, which shoots out a wide range of metallic bolts, or (for secondary ammo) deploys a large grenade, which explodes on impact. There are many others, such as The Golan Arms FC-1, the Tenloss Disruptor Rifle, the infamous Thermal Detonators, and the well known E11 Imperial Blaster Rifle. Each weapon has two modes of attacks, and they all come in handy some time or another... One more thing, the view is first person, so your weapon is on the bottom right corner, except when you use the lightsaber.

One thing that you need to even use the weapons is the in-game graphics. Not to be confused with the cut-scenes (the movies). The in-game graphics are awesome, no doubt. If you pay close attention, you can even see the groves on the blaster of your enemy! The textures, even the ones you don't pay more than a second of attention to such as the lights on the walls, are practically flawless.

Now, the cut-scene graphics are horribly bad. As you play, notice that the movie scenes are very scratchy, and the characters move like they are stuck to the ground. This is explainable, because the game itself takes up a lot of disk space, so something has to be bad.
There are many scenes, where with the characters, they just turn without moving their feet. In other games, such as Bounty Hunter, the characters actually move their feet to turn but if you don't pay too much attention to this, they look okay. Don't skip them because you don't want to look at them, because they really help your game play.

In conclusion, I would give this game 4 ½, out of 5 stars. Also, I recommend it to any Star Wars fan, or anyone who like action role-play games.
Even if you are not convinced, try renting it and maybe you'll change your mind...
I really must tell you a vital tip: cheat codes are available, and are helpful, but remember, when you are in a long- dark corridor, look behind you...

Excellent Star Wars game

LucasArts and Raven have done an excellent job bringing back good old lightsaber action to the PC. The storyline brings back the ex-Jedi Kyle Katarn to the field, and players get to control him through multiple levels. The lightsaber and force developement is a lot of fun, and become even more enjoyable as players discover new moves with their blades. Worth every penny if you ask me, because once you finish the single player mode, there's a well-balanced multiplayer game and a myriad of mods to continue playing on.

BUY NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This fps is very immersive compared to many of the shooters out on the market right now. The storyline was very involving and kept things interestin. The best aspect about the battles were the saber battles. Being able to control how you swing made things 10 times better than the battles in jedi knight dark forces. I found the puzzles frustrating at times but if your patient it's not too bad. I feel the puzzles helped slow down the pace and break the came up a little compared to the regular run and gun products out there. The graphics were very good probably ranked 3rd to wolfenstein and max payne. The star wars universe was well created in much detail. The sound and music was great, identical to the movies. I've had no problems running the program. I have a celeron 466, 192 ram, gforce 2 mx and I can run the game at full with about 40% stuttering in heated battle. Turning 2 options down to medium made the game very smooth in all areas. Anyways it's a great game and it's gotten all high scores on all the review sites.

Buy this now.

Best game I've played all year. This game beats MOHAA, RTCW, SoF2, etc. When you start choking people with the force, and then cutting their arm off with a light saber, you'll understand.

Good Game, many problems however

I bought this game a few months ago and it was fun, and it still is. However, I think it requires more RAM than the box says as I have 256 megs of RAM and a 1.4 Gig Athlon $ processor and it jams up quite frequently.
