    State of the art graphics, stereo sound, and excellent gameplay.

    A step down from the PC's version, due to the fact that you just can't scroll through the Force Powers fast enough. [Jan 2003, p.101]

    It provides a good solid story, heaps of weapons to choose from and a good challenge.

    Like people, this game has its share of problems, but once you get to know it, you'll likely find that it's a game worth spending time with.

    Otherworldly technology and techno-eerie sounds are among the touches that elevate this FPS above many others. [Jan 2003, p.173]

    While the PC version of Jedi Outcast blows the GameCube version out of the water, this is still a very good shooter with a lot to offer Nintendophiles, despite the disappointments.

    Take note, game developers: Loading and re-loading does not a fun play experience make. Give us quick-saving or give us death.

    The controls & camera are clunky & awkward to use everywhere. The graphics are good. The Arena & it's options (awesome choices & maps) The controls & camera are clunky & awkward to use everywhere. The graphics are good. The Arena & it's options (awesome choices & maps) and being able to play lightsaber only are why I bought it for my grandson (nearly 6) - he had seen & played an Xbox version of Obi Wan at a store which he loved but he only has a Game Cube. This satisfies his desire to be a Jedi with a lightsaber. He enjoys the lightsaber dueling very much even though the controls/camera frustrate him.… Expand

    The only good part about this game was the multiplayer. It was amusing to be a stormtrooper or an overweight rebel captain running around The only good part about this game was the multiplayer. It was amusing to be a stormtrooper or an overweight rebel captain running around with a lightsaber and force powers. But one player STUNK! The camera cortrol was horrible and the story was boring. You could die too easily also. It was also too dark and i couldn't adjust the brightness. The graphics were the only good part of single-player. If you want a good Jedi game get Jedi Academy. Way better!… Expand
