This was a well put together game and it did surpass the outcast version.
The only thing that it didn't have was those mini gun turrents when you go to play multiplayer.
I love the options the game gives you, you get to create your very own player and your color of your light saber(s), or staff.
The more options you have the better the game is.
Awesome game!

This game was SO much fun. The lightsaber choices: beyond awesome! The storyline was great, too. The sound was great, as well. It was difficult when it needed to be and the learning curve is very quick. I played through this game more times than I can count. Very fun!The only thing I didn't like was the AI of the characters during games like Capture the Flag, etc. The AI is terrible. It's VERY fun with human players, though.
Lightsaber-slashing fun

This is an entertaining game despite its advancing age. You play a new student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, running various missions on your way to becoming a Jedi Knight. You'll meet famous Star Wars faces and eventually uncover an evil that threatens the galaxy. All in a day's work.
The lightsaber combat is the game's strong point, and it's fun to run through the levels hacking enemies and demolishing them with your stable of force powers. The story is decent, but because you're undertaking individual missions at a time the narrative isn't as cohesive as it might be. The character building element (you create your own character) is surprisingly limited; there are only a few species to choose from, and with most you can only play as one gender (ex. you can be a female Twi'lek, but not a male one).
Not as strong as Jedi Outcast, but still a worthy Star Wars experience that'll satisfy your lightsaber urges until the eventual motion-controlled Wii game comes out.
Lots of fun!

I think that this is one of the better jedi action game that's out there. While the graphice are so-so, the jedi abilities and light saber action is perrrrrfect. Try the game if you haven't played it yet. You'll have a lot of fun.
Really Fun!!

When I first got this game for christmas I was thinking oh-no because I had played it before on PC and it wasn't that fun. Well when I played it on X-Box I had a really fun time playing it. From just joining the academy to killing your friend. This game is really fun.
Pros: The levals are cool. The lightsabers are cool.
Cons: You can't really make your person look like you want him to look like there are only three male human heads to choose from . The graphics aren't the greatest luke sometimes looks like a girl.
All in all this game is good and I recomend buying it.
Worthy Game In the Jedi Knight Series

The Jedi Knight series is one of the best in the Star Wars game universe. I have had this game for a while but decided to play it again and it was just as fun as it was the first time I played it. The controls maybe a little confusing at first, but in a matter of minutes, you completely know how it works and the fun begins. Being a student of the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 is a fanboy's wet dream and this game lets you live out this fantasy as you play Jaden, a young Padawan who built a lightsaber without the assistance of a Jedi or the know how to build on, the force is with this one.
I, for one, think the story is very interesting. You see the return of JK hero Kyle Katarn, but you don't play him this time in the game, but he does assist you in some missions. The graphics could be a little better, but I don't consider them horrible or bad at all. The acting is great and the gameplay is real fun, you get to fight a lot of Sith with a lightsaber in this game.
This game also has a high replay value, I've played this game all the way through at least three times and I'm ready to play it again. This game is worthy of the title Jedi Knight, it is just as good as it's predecessors
Not so good

I recently bought this game and was thoroughly disappointed. Even though it's an XBox game, I've seen as good, if not better graphics on the N64. The controls are a bit awkward also. There is also no way to save unless you are in a level. I'd say it's worth the $9 I paid for it though.

this game doesnt live up to the hype set by the previous installment in the series. the best part of this game is the lightsaber battles, but even those aren't as good as they used to be. the new deuce lightsabers and double bladed sabers may sound intriguing but you can hardly tell whats going on you are so busy constantly pressing the 'swing' button. the story line is awful compared to the last game and there simply isnt enough controls to efficiently use all of your force powers. although this review sounds negative it is still a very entertaining game and the multi player, yet very hectic, is also very addicting. this game gets pushed over the hump if you are a star wars fan but if your just an average joe looking for a good action game then you should stear clear of this title and wait for something with a little more substance to come out.
a great arcade starwars game!
