DESCRIPTION
Star Wars: Jedi Knight — Jedi Academy continues many of the features introduced in 2002's Jedi Outcast with a storyline taking place after the events chronicled in its predecessor. Players begin the game in the prestigious Jedi Academy led by Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn. As Skywalker's apprentice, players must learn the ways of the Force and embark on an adventure spanning more than twice the locales featured in 2002's game. The biggest addition to the franchise is the ability to create a character by choosing its species, gender, hair, facial features, and clothing. Players can also customize their lightsaber by selecting its blade color and hilt type, with more lightsabers (such as the double-bladed version wielded by Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I) becoming available as players become more adept in their training.
Like Jedi Outcast before it, Jedi Academy blends third-person lightsaber battles with first-person exploration and shooting. In addition to honing their skills with the weapon of the Jedi, players can fight enemies using a blaster, blaster rifle, Wookiee bowcaster, Imperial repeater, and more. Players will use these weapons as well as their Force skills in order to investigate and neutralize a new organization threatening to upset the order maintained throughout the galaxy. Rather than follow a linear story throughout the game, players are free to select which path of levels they wish to experience while learning their craft. Also featured are a number of new multiplayer modes on top of those included in 2002's Jedi Outcast. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I liked JK2 but this is a huge improvement for me, the same kind of general gameplay, BUT, you can customize your character, choose your ending, and even customize your lightsaber. I wish, however, that there more choices to be made, more customability, and that the player had more control over the story. While there is control and customability, it is extremely limited.”

“From the moment I started playing Star Wars: Jedi Knight -- Jedi Academy, I knew it would be good. You play as Jaden Korr, a Jedi student who built his own lightsaber without any formal training. You get to create your character by choosing a species, a gender, and a style. You build your own lightsaber at the beginning by choosing from different hilts and colors. Once you start, you are immediately thrust into a gripping story. You start out in a shuttle crash on Yavin IV, and go through the game until you reach the final battle on Korriban. At one point, you even get to choose the path you take: Dark or Light. There is no one path through the missions. You can do them in any order you want. This is an amazing, fun, cool game which is definitely worth buying. Star Wars: Jedi Knight -- Jedi Academy gets a well deserved 5 out of 5.”

“Its one of the few games out there that really lets you get into fighting with a light saber the way you always imagined fighting with one could be. Slashing and flipping and occasionallt lopping of a limb, clashing, saber locking etc.... Combined with a solid Star Wars story and epic Multiplayer battles its one of my all time favorite games. ”
