Review beto7100 4/5 · Dec 22, 2024
Way better than the first Dark Forces and way more playable. The boss battles are hard because you don't even know when you actually hit the target and the lightsaber is useless because you don't know when you are going to block. But for the age is a really good game

Playing it today is bizarre, because it's obviously quite aged but you can still see why back then it was so amazing. How it uses those musics.

Read morePlaying it today is bizarre, because it's obviously quite aged but you can still see why back then it was so amazing. How it uses those musics. How it recreates the settings, in such a precise way, with so much personality. The level and mission design, from a moment stuck between the labyrinthine FPS of the Nineties and the more linear, set piece based FPS that came later, ends up being paradoxically fresh. The FMVs are incredibly cheesy but so much fun. And across the whole game there's so many great ideas, such a fun vibe. I loved it. I loved it today. And if you think it was the first FPS that let you use lightsabers and jedi powers, how smartly they are implemented, what a great rhythm is born from those numerous short missions, how many surprises contribute to making it constantly fresh, until the end... You realize how great this game is and was.

I have a lot of fond memories of Jedi Knight. But I have to admit that it can be difficult to replay now. Obviously the graphics are not going to be up to par by modern standards & 3D games tend to not hold up as well as pixel graphics. But I can get past that. But a certain clunkiness …
Read moreI have a lot of fond memories of Jedi Knight. But I have to admit that it can be difficult to replay now. Obviously the graphics are not going to be up to par by modern standards & 3D games tend to not hold up as well as pixel graphics. But I can get past that. But a certain clunkiness to the gameplay can make a replay a bit more frustrating than it needs to be. In first person shooter mode it is fine and holds up as well as any of it's contemporaries. The 3rd person lightsaber combat is clunky but can still be fun with a bit of practice. However, there is a lot of platforming in this game as well & very little of it is fun. If you have never played it & have the tolerance for the graphics and the quirks of older 3D action games, it is worth a playthrough. But if you played it back in its heyday like I did, you may find that its gameplay has a hard time keeping up with the fun you remember having with it.

Review anarchistica 2/5 · Oct 17, 2019
Look at this!
It is a beautiful relic of a bygone age!
The actual game itself is terrible, of course. Though i'm impressed it runs without problems in Win10, although hardware acceleration doesn't work. But yeah, walk around and shoot stuff. This may have been the first game in which you use a lightsabre and force powers but i didn't …

The actual game itself is terrible, of course. Though i'm impressed it runs without problems in Win10, although hardware acceleration doesn't work. But yeah, walk around and shoot stuff. This may have been the first game in which you use a lightsabre and force powers but i didn't have the patience to play this for more than 10 minutes so i don't know what they're like.
So one star for the game and one star for the FMVs.
