Frustrating experience
I wanted to work all my way through the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games and just can't get myself to finish this one. My biggest gripes are the ridiculously unfair level design (often arenas where you have no cover and enemies spawn all around you, and SO MANY elevator traps), the shoddy controls (there is a half a second lag between pressing the move key and actually moving, making fights even harder and unfair; oh yeah, and you can't quick swap weapons), and the annoying maze like levels that just take it to a new ridiculous level. The weapons are shit, the lightsaber does not deflect consistently and you'll get damaged every so often, which is a death sentence on hard. The other weapons are slow, inacurate and unsatisfying to shoot, and since you can't shoulder peek due to the controls, it's really unplayable. Did I mention you can't quick swap? When you reload a save. you'll fire your weapon once, if you happen to have a grenade equipped and are facing a wall you are now in a death loop. The graphics have aged horribly. Just awful blocky polygons with awful textures. At least Dark forces had decent textures and a cute pixel charm to it. Only redeeming quality about this game is the nice original music and the story and acting are pretty good (so far at least), although the actors look nothing like the models which is just a bizarre choice.
Is this helpful to you?
