Great Game! You actually need skill to play, not like the Battlefront games. Mr. Lucas why have you abandoned the game genre that started it all?
Please continue the story, especially for us who are still using a PC.
Keeps the kids busy for a long time

My sons, 11 & 14 adore this game! They continue to beat it and go back in with different scenarios. Very compelling ( I chose not to say addictive in the same sentence as kids)
Star Wars Full on FUN!

Jedi Academy---
don't get caught up too much on the plot, storyline, or roleplaying depth of this title. the game is pure, full on FUN. it's like the designers of this game saw star wars when they were 8 years old and then came along here and put every single thrill-ride of the 3 (original) movies in this game.
you got lightsabers -- of course. you got force powers -- of course. you get to ride a tauntaun charging down snowtroopers with your lightsaber, you get to go on a wild speederbike level (i played rocket jockey, those saps didn't have a CHANCE!), you get to hop in an AT-ST and rampage around. the controls aren't so complicated that you keep crashing into walls and have trouble surviving due to that.
i have a save game for the prison mission. it is TOO fun. you get captured and tossed in jail, and lose your lightsabre. the sadistic boss hogg warden is bored -- he wants to let you lose, and you're supposed to run to your ship to escape.
i say, 'oh you THINK that's how it's gonna go, do you?' forget lightsabre, i have force lightning level 3! i walk out of there with bare hands, two guards see me, and BOOM! i nail them good! bodies are flying, men are screaming, things are blowing up.... too fun!
This game rocks!

I first started playing this game when I was little. And a few months ago, I said, "I can't remember anything about Jedi Academy, so I think I'll play it." To make a long story short, this game is awesome. But I think you would probably rather hear my entire opinion about this game, so here we go.
This game had an enjoyable (if not unpredictable) storyline with fairly realistic characters. The levels were cool, and the creators of the game did an excellent job in making the planets and objectives different each time. The boss levels were really cool as well, and I thought that they did an especially good job with Vjun. I thought it was neat how the character creation was made. You can choose a main outfit color, a hairstyle, and the torso and legs of your character's outfit.
However, I'm not crazy about the fact that you can't choose your own name. I understand that this is for good dialogue in the cinematic parts, but I like making up crazy new names. The battles are a bit repetitive, with the mercenaries and stormtroopers the easiest. Although I have to admit that it was a nice change when they introduced the big stormtroopers. I found that there were two extremely difficult levels (the one with the sandworms and the one with the mutated rancor), but other than that, the levels were fairly easy. I especially enjoyed the level with the swoop bikes.
In short, I loved this game! I love to replay it over and over again. Plus, I found that it was cool that it works on Windows Vista. You see, my dad switched my computer over to Vista when I had just finished the game for the first time. I highly recommend this game. I also think it was good that there was no blood in the fight scenes.
Great game

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the third game in the Jedi Knight series. I haven't played the first two, but I probably will after playing this game. The models in this game are very well detailed, and the graphics aren't too bad. The gameplay overall is very fun. The only downside to this game is that it is relatively short... maybe around 5 hours. However, I would recommend picking up this game.
Decent

The best thing about the game is the multi-player option where you get to run around and lightsaber people in a free for all like counter strike.
Sweet Game!!!

You should totally buy this game. It will keep you going with hours and hours of fun. From capture the flag, and free for all battles and other game types,
slice your way thorough with a lightsaber and many other available weapons. You can even design your own lightsaber, have one in each hand or a double sided one. Overall, this game is great. The only thing I didn't like was the Graphics, but other than that, The combat is great fun, you can play online with your friends, and capture the flag is a really fun thing to play on this
game. When I first played this game at a friends house, he told me it was only ten dollars, and I couldn't believe it!
The Force is with you all night

I cannot get engough of this game. One the most fun First and third person shooters. The lightsaber fights are excellent plus the use of all the force powers make it more intersting. The game is smooth, fast paced, clean with enough Jedi power to please the most uptight star wars fan. The graphics are great as well. You even get Mark Hamil playing Luke!! Buy this now for true game enjoyment.
Multi-player is still alive in this game

There are 120 other reviews at the moment that tell you how the game is so I will tell you a few things I would find usefull. Also this is a review aimed toward Moms =]
There are tons of servers on multi everywere and there are plenty of servers that have good rules such as being respectful and no cussing an such.
I am in a clan that is Christian as well and it is awesome. There is no blood because it is sabers, in fact in multi-player there is no body part dismemberment unless you download a mod to make them fall apart =P in single acassionaly a storm trooper will lose an arm or hand or something but never are they chopped in half or beheaded. Anyway this is a really fun game I have been playing it for 3 years and I am still playing it every day =].
