GREAT LIGHTSABER ACTION THAT'S NOT THE FORCE UNLEASHED!

Bottom line this is the next best thing to The Force Unleashed! Controls and camera are not the best, but if your are a hugs Star Wars gamer like me, then this is a must for the collection!

This is a great game.

This was a well put together game and it did surpass the outcast version.
The only thing that it didn't have was those mini gun turrents when you go to play multiplayer.
I love the options the game gives you, you get to create your very own player and your color of your light saber(s), or staff.

The more options you have the better the game is.

Awesome game!

This game was SO much fun. The lightsaber choices: beyond awesome! The storyline was great, too. The sound was great, as well. It was difficult when it needed to be and the learning curve is very quick. I played through this game more times than I can count. Very fun!The only thing I didn't like was the AI of the characters during games like Capture the Flag, etc. The AI is terrible. It's VERY fun with human players, though.

Lightsaber-slashing fun

This is an entertaining game despite its advancing age. You play a new student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, running various missions on your way to becoming a Jedi Knight. You'll meet famous Star Wars faces and eventually uncover an evil that threatens the galaxy. All in a day's work.

The lightsaber combat is the game's strong point, and it's fun to run through the levels hacking enemies and demolishing them with your stable of force powers. The story is decent, but because you're undertaking individual missions at a time the narrative isn't as cohesive as it might be. The character building element (you create your own character) is surprisingly limited; there are only a few species to choose from, and with most you can only play as one gender (ex. you can be a female Twi'lek, but not a male one).

Not as strong as Jedi Outcast, but still a worthy Star Wars experience that'll satisfy your lightsaber urges until the eventual motion-controlled Wii game comes out.

Lots of fun!

I think that this is one of the better jedi action game that's out there. While the graphice are so-so, the jedi abilities and light saber action is perrrrrfect. Try the game if you haven't played it yet. You'll have a lot of fun.
