Amazon.com Product Description
In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Star Wars: Jedi Knight, Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Outcast features rebel agent Kyle Katarn in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the dark side, Kyle entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future. LucasArts is developing Jedi Outcast in partnership with Activision's critically acclaimed Raven Software. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers, and the lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes. Jedi Outcast features expanded and enhanced use of the lightsaber, with new attack and defense moves. Tap into the powers of the Force, including jump, push, Jedi mind tricks, and more. Employ combat or stealth, depending on the situation. When a fight is necessary, be at the ready with an arsenal of weapons: stun baton, Bryar blast pistol, and blaster rifle to name but a few. Explore breathtaking Star Wars locales such as Cloud City, the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Nar Shaddaa, the smugglers' moon--plus some never-before-seen locations. Multiplayer options include deathmatch, saber-only deathmatch, and team capture the flag.

Great multuiplayer game. I play with my grandkids in Indiana and my daughter in California, we have a blast. Server is so easy to setup, my 10 year old grandson did it on his own. The single player game is great too and challenging.
 Choke, turn, drop. No more stormtrooper! January 13, 2007

That about sums up the fun of the game. You can do a lot with it, more so than other Star Wars games, or like genre games. Like the title says, my favorite thing to do is to choke the enemy, turn, and drop him from a high place, and there are plenty of those. Or you can just raise him 30 feet in the air on flat ground and drop him. Or use force lightning to zap a group. Or throw your lightsaber. Or hit speed boost, throw your lightsaber, run through a group of baddies and wait for the saber to catch up to you and take out all the baddies. Get the idea?
There are upteen ways to slash, jump, force pull weapons, push droids around, trick that idiot trooper, and be an all-around Imperial stomping machine. You don't start out with force powers, but you pick them up fairly quickly.
The bad side, if you don't like jumping around or spending a lot of time to figure out where the road is supposed to turn, you are going to become quite frustrated. Jumping puzzles over bottomless pits and finding cracks in the walls that lead to the next area are all too common. I spent half my time in the game on those two areas alone. There are walkthroughs out there that help, yet for some reason, I couldn't alt-tab my game. Not sure if that is user error or not, yet most other graphics-intensive games I play can.
Storyline is good, yet the cinema scenes are limited to ships and ok short videos. The interaction between the characters in these sequences are limited to the world of the game (i.e. no cinema, just polygons and sharp movements)
Overall, if you want a hack-and-slash game that has plenty of puzzles to figure out, this is the game for you.
It's good if moded December 13, 2006

The game is so bad lucasarts should of stop the game from being sold. But when you mod the game it the best game in the world. The game needed 2 stars for how fun it is and for its overall but when moded the game is fun . So don't get the game for gc,xb and ps2 version's just get it for pc because that's the only one that you can mod.

You know what? I absolutely hate it when people say that this game was hard. I beat it on normal in one week! And this was when it first came out, when I was about twelve years old our around there maybe thirteen. But, anyway this game was so fun! I got it the week it came out and that Christmas vacation, me and my brothers were glued to the computer playing that game, or at least watching me play it. I have beaten that game five times now and it never gets old!
 This game is pretty pour March 16, 2006

I guess the first thing i'll say is that I got Jedi Academy BEFORE I got this game. I was HUGELY dissaponted. I really liked Jedi Academy but this game is not that great. I have cheat codes so I can have all wepons and all amo and I can be undying. There are partes in this game that are INSAINLY tought. There are way to many puzzles - I don't mind puzzles but there are simply way to many. And some on them are insainly hard. I would recomend you to get Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - way better the puzzles aren't insain and you get to choose what you look like and....well I could go on but i'll leave it there. If you aredy have Jedi Academy and you want another star wars game that is $20 then you sould get Battlefront thats anoter great game. Just don't get this game.

3 CHEERS FOR SHAAK Ti
Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
