This is a great game you can play for hours if you simply love light sabres. I passed on the sp part and went right for multiplayer and was happily slicing and slashing in free for all deathmatch servers. Use one lightsabre or two, customize your character and saber all you want and spend hours figuring out new moves and combos. I never bothered learning the game but it was by far the best non-restrictive free for all fps game I had played in a long time.… Expand

Jedi Academy feels more like an add-on to Jedi Outcast. The saber duels are frequent (MUCH more than in Outcast) and customized sabers are great. But this alone can't advocate a full-priced game. I also completely agree with PC Gamer's statement about the generic enemies. I didn't feel like I was fighting evil Jedi. It was more like fighting "Guy-With-Red-Saber #259". You'll essentially be paying 50 dollars for a new saber style.… Expand

I think this is a great game,but not as good as jedi knight Outcast. The way the story is pesented is a little disjointed.

Acceptable if you want more of the same, but simply lacking in everything if you are looking for a modern and engaging SW experience. Fancy Lightsabers? Stick with KotOR Like the air-battles? Get Rogue Leader.

It is a great game, but still it's quite too easy and too short.

It's funny, but I actually liked this game much, much more than Jedi Outcast, namely because the level design isn't so mind-numbingly frustrating. This game isn't perfect and could use a few more levels, but for the most part it's a blast.

Its a fun game with action packed hours of gameplay and its a awsome game if your a star wars fan. The only problem I thought was that it was very repetitive from the game Star Wars : Jedi Outcast. Other than that it was flawlessly a good game worth your money!

This game is awesome. I'm a Star Wars fan and anyone who has ever dreamed of being a Jedi and using a lightsaber and force powers to slice and dice your enemies this game is for you. It is very fun to play and the interface is perfect. Although technically it is a first person shooter game, you really can forget your guns and just go through the game with your lightsaber and force powers (as any real Jedi should). Since this is the only game in the Jedi Knight/Dark Forces series that I have played I can't comment on how it relates to those games; however, this game really stands well on its own. Some also might comment on the fact that it is based on the somewhat dated Quake III engine, but I still think it looks and plays great and come on in the middle of the all that action who really has time to closely examine his surroundings. Plus, since I have an older machine (a PIII 1.2 Ghz and a Geforce 2 MX) I appreciate that there are games that can still run on it. The only negative that I can think of, is that I wish it were longer. A few more missions would be nice. Highly recommended!… Expand

This is one of my favourite games for multyplaying.

This was a really good game, I haven't played Single Player yet, as I am currently playing other games, but the MP was awesome on this game! You can create your own character in Multilayer (MP) or choose from one of the default ones, or if you don't like those, you can download more for you game. An awesome game I love playing anytime I get the chance!

It's simply perfect!

This is a great Game.

Very good! I actually didn't care for Jedi Outcast, mostly because of the level design. This game is more polished and fun, and the majority of levels aren't a chore. Great game!

It's a very good game!

I think it's better than JK2.

Florian K is right, this is more of the same game as JK2, with a few gimmicks (Dual, Double Lighstabers) added to get your attention. I suppose if you are a fan of the series you might enjoy it, but for the most part it's just more of the same.

This game is one of the best I've played in a long time, it's twice as good if your a star wars fan.

Not quite as great as Jedi Outcast beacause well on Jedi Master the final confrontation with Tavion was one of the simplist things i have done. The thing that saves this game is the awesome multiplayer gameplay.

jedi outcast gets an 89 but this gets an 81? thats a joke jedi academy was so much better for a number of reasons. 1: complete customization of your character make your lightsaber how you want it pick what force powers you want and choose how you want to look. 2: you got different endings depending on your choices 3: you have battles with tons of jedi at a time where in outcast you would at most have 2-3 enemies i had at one point 6 jedi coming to kill me 4: More multiplayer modes this game was overall much better then jedi outcast buy it play it and then decide if u want to go back and play a game that wasnt as good… Expand

Great Game! What else is there to say.

My favorite game of all time (And I've tried a hell of a lot of them) Siege gametype in multiplayer is one of the most unique gameplay experiences I have ever had (mostly due to the inclusion of lightsaber combat)

Great game, has great RPG elements with a kick-ass lightsaber fight mechanics. Multiplayer was incredibly fun too, only criticism is that it lacked special features say for example if you beat the game in hard mode etc...

This is probably one of my favorite PC games. I like the customizable sabers and the pulse gun is hilarious. If you haven't already done this trick, read on! The pulse gun is the one with the really wide barrel. Alright. So, when you go in a mission, find an enemy that doesn't see you. Take your pulse gun and tap the right mouse button to activate the zoom mode. Zoom in on your enemy (preferably the head) hold down the left mouse button until your gun is fully charged. Then let go and watch as your helpless opponent disintegrates right in front of you. (But don't do it to much unless you have extra ammo on hand)… Expand

Awesome game, singleplayer is cool and multiplayer is even better. Even tho they might get boring after hours of gameplay there's also a mod called Moviebattles II for more realistic battles and hooking gameplay. I still play it to this day.
