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!

If you like Dark Forces or 1st person action this is an awesome game. 10 waepons including Lightsaber and rail gun
and both light and dark force powers. I liked that i could relate the game to the movie it has everything from stormtroopers to Tusken raiders. As I said an arsenal of fun!

After many years of play, here you go: "Dark forces II: Jedi Knight", brought in a new level of graphics and a whole bunch of new worlds to explore. Jedi force powers make dog meat out of the villains. A new darkness arises, and Kyle Katarn destroys one Dark Jedi at a time, until he finally bring's a new balance to the force. Also you learn the tragic and mystical nature of Kyle's past. The new sequal to this game "Outcast: Jedi Night II" comes out next Feb! Hope this review pumped you!

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.
