if anyone should see this in a store iand wonder if they should get it or not my advice is:GET IT!!!! this is the best game since Dues Ex (which by the way the second dues ex is coming out soon) i play it for such a long time until im kicked off the xbox... sure the controls are a bit hard at 1st but then it feels like youre in the game the only problem is probably that you dont start with the light saber and when you do get it and all your force powers you have to go through all these tests and o yeh u should save very often it is really hard game (hope you have enough room on your xbox harddrive!!!) the force powers are: push, pull, speed, jump/mindtrick,heal(which is a bit cheap but for one level you have to use it other wise it is impossible), choke and lightning and have in mind you will upgrade or get a new power after every level. my favorite force power is probably choke especially when you get up to the part with all the bad Jedi dudes and you just choke them and throw your lightsaber at them while they are choking themselves and for heavily armed storm troopers i suggest force pull to get the gun out of their hands and then just push them or do it the old/new way; slash him with the old lil light saber!i am absoluely serious, i have played over five hundred games (much much much more)and this is my second to favorite of all of those games i cant wait for nites of the old republic... these kind of games are the best puzzle action and adventure nothing beats these games!!!!!NOTHING! it is pretty hard tho the first part your very likely to get stuck on is probably... it depends how used to it you are but if a person who isnt very used to this kinda game probably the part where you have to blast open the door people who are very used to it will probably get stuck at the part where you have to customize the codes to exactly match but for people who are extremely experienced will probably get stuck in the sub 0 chamber. i have to admit that this is the best of all the series of the star wars games! o yh one concern abt the graphics, in cut scenes when you c the guys talking their lips move but they dont open thier mouth and it looks to much like he used braces. but all in all it is an amazing game( i just hope that Nights of the Old Republic is better than this game and will be the best game ive ever played!)i havent beaten this game yet because of its amazing dificulty level and all the puzzles but im still awsome at it! when i was begining it the site that i used for a walkthru was [website] if you really need that site use it but im warning you it may make the game all that much less fun.this game is definitely worth your [money] ...

Mesmerization for an hour

I expected this game to be so much more fun, because of the lightsabers and different worlds. Little did i know, it wouldn't be so hysterically fun. It's not THAT creative. Also, sometimes it's so hard it takes months to get to a different world. You get tired and will give up TOO easily.
The upside: You don't have to just play a mission. Jedi arena allows you to play with others in your household, Jedi against Jedi.
Graphics are great on this video game, but other things just make you think, "And i bought this because?"

THIS IS A AWESOME GAME

This is a very cool game Kyle Katarn is a famous person who defeated the dark lord Jarik. Kyle quits the jedi order after this. He comes back too a jedi after Dasann a failed jedi "kills" Jan.

Okay for XBOX, Outstanding for PC.

Beaten the PC version, In cloud city for xbox. First, the controls for the PC version blow the XBox controller out of the water. There are also some features on the PC that are sorely missed on the Xbox.(3rd person viewing with the guns for one.) Other than that there both the same game in a way. If you have the choice between playing it on either system. Play the PC version.

cast out this outcast!

OK....in short this game is frustrating. I am a huge star wars fan and thought the obi wan game was great, but this one totally lacks something--direction! The makers of this game have the graphics very artfully done and the levels are enormous and complicated....stress complicated. What they no doubt missed was balancing the complicated mazes and jumps with more satisying scenes that would give the player some sense of progress. In most of the levels you are expected to figure out which button to push or secret tunnel to squat through, or which door to pick to go through, and to analyze everything that you have seen so that you can finally figure out which action will take you to the next level. This at first is quite a challenge and I have managed to struggle to the 7th level and to get my light saber....but then it just continues to frustrate with tedious jumps from platforms here and there and dodging unseen bomb droppers. I have to give credit for the ability of the game to seem like you really are in the environment, but this environment isn't one that I totally enjoyed being in or would recommend others to visit. I am so frustrated by the 7th level that I am thinking about taking my game to a dealer to sell used.

Good game could be better

This is a great idea and decent story line. It will test your abilities of detection and at times, patience. The fighting and use of the force, at later levels, makes most of the frustration
go away. A few comments, levels can be hard to figure out...but there is help and it is not impossible, the sound is decent, the storyline and animation scenes are respectible, the graphics at times are good but most of the time average, and for the most part...it has non destructable environments. You have a lot of weapons, force powers, and items at your disposal, hence sometimes you can't use all of them at once easily. Only twice can you man and operate a vehicle/machinery, a gun pod and a small imperial walker. Suggestions, I would have liked to have seen more vehicles etc to break up the game, when inside the walker it is next to impossible to see what is right in front of you...don't make this 3rd person, the white and black buttons can be customized which is a good idea, but how about chaining 2-3 force powers with one touch. All in all a game well worth the 19.99 that it is now. It could be so much more with just a few modifications.

Spectacular Goodness

This game starts out as a first person shooter until you get your lightsaber. It really takes some skill at first, cause you're not sure which direction to go. It's like a big puzzle but you use your force powers to get around. Great part of this game is your force powers, when was the last time that Star Wars fans got to play around with Dark Jedi Powers?? It's always a little force push or pull, throw your light saber. This game includes, grip, lightning, dark rage, drain, plus a bunch more regular powers like force heal, that comes in really handy. your powers progress as the game moves along. The controls are a bit tough at first but you get used to it. You can save anywhere in the game. For people that have played Obi-wan, the light saber mode doesn't allow as much freedom but blocking laser shots doesnt drain all your force powers. The computer automatically blocks shots fired at you. Many cameos by luke, lando, and others. It's a sweet game, multiplayer is INSANELY fun. And to refute an earlier review, made by someone whom hasn't played the game yet, THERE IS DISMEMBERMENT OF APPENDAGES when you cut people with lightsabers. And lightsaber battle is Greatly more realistic in this game than Obi-Wan. Go Rent it and play for yourself, I rented it and now I want to buy it.

GREAT GAME!!!

For a real Star Wars fan this is a good game to get.It has you playing as Kyle Katarn,a rebel jedi.The game has great graphics and sound.The game switches from first to third person(depending on if you have the lightsaber or not).The multiplay is just plain...AWESOME!!!...Lightsaber on blaster fights on cool locations,this multiplayer is action packed.Overall its a great action packed game .
