Great value for money. As the majority of gaming is still a single player experience, I can say this game is better than "Quake," its nearest rival, and therefore has to be one of the best games on the PC.
With innovative levels, a sparkling soundtrack, enhanced graphics, and near-perfect control, this is one game you won't want to pass up. Jedi Knight is easily the best game of its kind available.

I think it has a GREAT star wars atmosphere... it is pretty simple made but the imperial architecture, the sound, and the raw feeling... Makes it one of best Star Wars games for me. I hope this one time get a remake with better controls, better AI and better graphics, maybe extended levels and stuff. Anyway, with the Mod Remastered 3.0 its even better.

It will seduce you, beguile you and turn you into an unproductive but satisfied mess. Those that can break away from its grasp and lead a life away from the computer screen are to be saluted.
Jedi Knight combines all the good aspects that a game should have: good graphics, interesting story, innovative game-play and superb multiplayer support. Anyone who has a good system (fast w/ a 3D accelerator) will definitely be pleased with Jedi Knight.
Extra marks to LucasArts for giving the game an impossibly large number of options... Ignore the story and immerse yourself in the incredible environments - you may never want to come back.
What Jedi Knight lacks in spark, it compensates for with the oodles of money that a giant like LucasArts can throw into the development process. Add to that good environments, great music, tons of options, solid gameplay, and smooooooth net connections and I can certainly say that fans of the genre won't be disappointed.
In the end, I just couldn't get into Jedi Knight. Maybe it was because I'm not a big Star Wars fanatic that I found it quite boring and uninspired, but there was nothing here that grasped my interest.
The multiplayer on MSN gaming zone is what made this game for me. There were so many fun mods for it.

Amazing immersive Star Wars environment especially considering the state of game at that time. I was **** into the game from start to finish maximizing the freedom of exploring every bit of the world. The game had everything a Star Wars fan would love (cut scenes, Star Wars themed sound track, massive world, etc.)

In 1998 this was the game to play. It was the first FPS I played, it remains one of the best memories of gaming I have. The score for this game is contemporaneous as today it would struggle to score 1. The graphics are abominable by today's standards. However the innovation and range of enemies and weapons is something modern game designers could take ideas from. The cutscenes and plot and both excellent and you can end up playing for 6-8 hours without a break. However despite this game being available for next to nothing on GOG or Steam please do not buy this game. It had a fantastic run but let it rest in peace... unless Disney want to do a remastered edition... please?
