![]() Even the vehicle and experimental levels-one has the player jumping from platform to platform, avoiding sand worms below the surface-are good this time around. One mission finds you escorting prisoners away from a raging rancor while another finds you escaping a prison yourself without your lightsaber. The main plot is forgettable and fans of the Kyle Katarn saga will be disappointed by him being demoted to side character, but all of this is made up for by the freedom it brings the game to explore different scenarios.Įach mission is like its own exciting slice of Star Wars fan fiction. The game is broken up between sequences that allow the player to choose five levels in any order (the fifth is optional), while required story-driven missions divide these sections. Along with a new layer of polish comes some of the most innovative levels and mission design in the series. Guns remain under-powered, but this is balanced by further improving lightsaber combat. ![]() Shooting feels fantastic now, for the most part. Subtle changes were made to the engine, fixing all the above listed complaints alongside visual upgrades. With Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy a layer of polish was applied that Jedi Outcast lacked, making the best 3D entry in the series and even better than the first Dark Forces depending on the day of the week. Overall, Jedi Academy is the best in the series, but it's not exactly a series I've enjoyed. Other times you can easily win by activating Force Speed, then easily chopping them down. Most of the time it seems to come down to luck, so you just randomly click the mouse and hope for the best. Even though I've played the previous games in the series I've never really understood the lightsaber combat. Towards the end of the game, you will be constantly fighting the Dark Jedi (there's an insane amount of them) which makes the end quite dull. When you enter the final third of the game, you get a choice whether to switch to Dual Sabres or the Darth Maul-like Sabre Staff, which is pretty cool You feel pretty powerful from the start, and it is great running around, dismembering Stormtroopers or pushing them off ledges. At certain points in the story, your core Force powers (including Push, Pull, Jump, Speed) are upgraded. The dark side powers are Life steal, Lightning, Grab, and Rage. The light side abilities are absorb, protection, heal, and Mind Trick. Additionally, you are given some Force powers, and can unlock a choice of powers as you complete the missions. You can use your lightsaber from the very start, so even though you are given the choice of a few guns and explosives, you will barely feel the need/desire to use them. This process repeats an additional two times. You are presented with five missions to choose from, but only need to complete four to proceed to the mandatory mission that follows which advances the story. Sometimes, you are ploughing through enemies, while others you are locating items or disarming bombs. The missions are set in a wide variety of locales, and have slightly different gameplay tweaks. There's barely any switches to press too! The poor/annoying level designs has always held the series back, but now the problem has finally been addressed. ![]() The levels are much shorter than what was seen in previous games, and it is a good thing, since it is much harder to get lost. Information is stolen from Luke, and so you are sent on missions to uncover information on the evil cult that committed the theft. so you can guess what is going to happen to him. Rosh comes across as a total brat, and not long into the game he begins to complain that the Jedi Masters are holding him back. You and another student, Rosh are assigned to be mentored by the previous protagonist Kyle Katarn. Jaden is a promising Jedi and is a new recruit to Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. This time, you play as Jaden who you can customise – choose their outfit and lightsaber, and choose between several combinations of races and gender. ![]() Jedi Academy is the 5th game in the franchise. ![]()
