the games story line is great...exciting and full of action but the game has its pros and cons...first off the graphics pretty much suck...for the time it was made the graphics were awesome but now they are funny...second off the force powers get stupid sometimes...the AI sucks and its too easy to fool them by just using mind trick, its easier just to use mind trick over and over again to finish the levels. But like i said for the time it was made in...its a good game and fun to play but once again...the graphics...SUCK
Ok but the levels stink.And the weapons are very bad.

I love the star wars games from x-wing to the phantom menace. I have them all. But there is one game that is not worth it,and that is jedi knight dark forces 2. The story is not exciting. (But it would make a good movie) This game should have been a movie. Not a game. The weapons are very bad. Very bad detailed weapons, bombs,explosions. The explosions suck! Very Very bad! Mysteries of the sith should have been the first part of the game, and jedi knight should have been the add-on. And multiplayer is ok not very good. This is what I don't like in multiplayer. Some players join and mess up the fun in it. Lucas arts allows hacks in games (or cogs) which is bad. The skins are not good and detailed. And thats what I think about this game. I do not like this game. Buy it and be disappionted.

This game was good in it's time, but by today's standards is lacking in terms of graphics and gameplay. I would wish for a better mapping system that is easy to comprehend. The levels are mazes, and I got lost so often I had to use a cheat to complete most levels. The shooting was easy, while navigating the game map was hard. If not for the cheats, I would have found it unplayable. In addition, Mysteries of the Sith cutscenes would play at a speed too fast to see or hear. Perhaps my system is too modern for this ancient software.
I suppose for the diehard SW fan, any game is good, but if I want to see Mara Jade, I am better off with a book or comic. The MOT renditions of Mara left much to be desired graphically.
I wish that you were not stuck playing Kyle Katarn most of the time. He is just a minor character, and not very interesting.

The Dark Forces may be the best first-person action video game, but it gets Marred by MOS. It was too easy to kill myself in MOS simply by force jumping. I died a hundred times because there was something overhead when I jumped. Once I died because I jumped straight up, but took damage from the fall. Another time I was on this ledge and couldn't get back up--every time I jumped, I would bounce off the wall and die. When I went to several web sites to get help on how to get off that ledge, the best that I could find was 'it is tricky' to get off the ledge. After dying several hundred times I got bored and quit. I've never gone back.
Old game but STILL WORTH PLAYING !!!

I just got a system good enough to play Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy, but I must say, Dark Forces 2 and Mysteries of the Sith are STILL brilliant Star Wars games. In the newer games, lightsaber combat is much more advanced and the multiplayer is much more fun.
However, in the matter of plot, Dark Forces and MOTS are still EXCELLENT. Force powers are just as good as the newer games (for the most part).
I have extremely fond memories of playing the MOTS demo over and over when it first came out and then years later, actually finding the full game on Amazon at a time when it was deucedly difficult to find.
Try this game; you won't be disappointed, especially if you're a diehard Star Wars fan and want any action/fps/adventure game you can lay your hands on.

The game dark forces 2 is my favorite game. I just beat it about two months ago. It was an extremely long and hard game. I've read some reviews for this game where the gamer had to go find cheats for it. I did not use any cheats of any kind. I defeated the game on the dark side and i'm replaying it on the light. This game has wonderful force powers. My favorite is force electricity. The lightsaber battles are fun but they could have been a little better. The graphics are really bad on my computer but once I get used to them it's not so bad. The levels are made up of loads of rooms, secret places, giant pools of water with sea monsters, huge air vents, and other great challenges. This game is a great buy. I would be a little concerned about the graphics. The mysteries of the sith game is really cool. I haven't beaten it yet but then again I haven't been working on it. The first level is great. The graphics are way better and the stormtroopers skill with a blaster a lot better. There are harder enemies with a lot more intellegence. In dark forces 2 the stormtroopers and every other enemy you encountered couldn't shoot or think straight. The best thing about mysteries of the sith is, you don't have to be kyle katarn throughout the whole game! You get to be mara jade. She isn't more powerful than kyle or anything but a change is nice once in a while. I would highly recommend these games they are the best!
Not bad at all!!

Not bad at all.Really cool graphics I must say.This game looks and feels like any of the newer games coming out.It even looks better than Phantom Menace.
The game play is pretty cool too.You get to put your hands on a lot of weapons including(yes!)a lightsaber.You get to use some force powers too(you`re a freakin` jedi for god`s sake!).
Bare in mind that the only reason I`m giving this game a 4 stars rating is because I`m still playing it,so get it and start kicking some imperial tail!
