Jan's staying in the ship this time thankfully, where she can shoot down TIE Fighters instead of getting shot by Stormtroopers. We at least have a good idea where they got the crystals from though, so now I'm going to blow up a mine. Worse, they didn't leave any completed lightsabers around for me to take so I'm still stuck using my crude and uncivilised sack full of blasters for now. I eventually learned that the Imperials were up to something involving lightsaber crystals, but I killed them all before they could tell me what. (Click images to expand them into bigger images.) Warning: This may contain spoilers for the earlier Jedi Knight games, including the fact that the hero becomes a Jedi Knight. Well, the single player experience anyway, I won't be showing multiplayer, and I won't be turning it off until I get to a proper Jedi duel. I want the pure, unedited, non-Special Edition Jedi Outcast experience.
The game has a 'mods' option right in the menu, which is cool, but I won't be touching any of them.
It seemed like Raven were getting around to all the big space sci-fi franchises in turn and giving them each a shooter, but instead they switched to making Marvel action RPGs weirdly, and now they make Call of Duty DLC. I mean you'd expect it have decent gunplay considering LucasArts passed the series on to FPS veterans Raven Software for this one, who were coming off Soldier of Fortune and Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force at the time. I've played this before, but it's been so long now that all I remember about it is that the lightsaber combat is a step up from the last game and it probably does the shooting better. Because it has 'Jedi' in it and every Star Wars fan wants to be a telekinetic space samurai. Poor Dark Forces: it was the one that started the games off in the first place but Jedi Knight was the name that stuck.
Today on Super Adventures I'm taking a look at Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, the third in the Jedi Knight series. Windows, Mac, Xbox, GameCube (but not PS2)
