Classic

This game is a classic. It provides a great Jedi Knight experience. You get to slash enemies with a lightsaber and use various Force abilities. Besides that, it's also a decent shooter. You can play as a Force empowered gunslinger. However, you will probably stick to a lightsaber because of many dark force users. That is a good thing, because lightsaber duels are a lot of fun. Missions are varied. You're tracking down a gangster on Coruscant, saving prisoners from a rancor, investigating a planet inhabited by sandworms... Maps offer different environments and high degree of verticality. They are fun to explore. After succesful completing of a stage you level up a chosen force ability. You can choose between light side and dark side abilities. "Neutral" powers will level up automatically after certain story missions. The game can be little iffy to work to on modern systems. However, both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy run pretty ok with OpenJK. Despite its age, this game is still fun to play even today. And thanks to modders, you can make it work on modern systems and with better resolution.

It is old, but it is probably still ok

It is old and you will notice it. For the price you will likely pay, it is probably still worth it. One thing that some prople might not like is the individual missions are not a linear story. Jedi Outcast had better stroy progression. you will need to look on the internet to find out how to modify the config file so a modern monitor can be used. It is simple to do though.

Best Jedi Game Ever

Off all the action star wars games, this one my favorite. The Lightsaber combat in this game is so good and also very fun to use the Jedi/Sith powers, this game has too much replayibility

Best Jedi sim available

Since it's release in 2003, It's been one of my favourite titles both as a Star Wars game, and as a game in general. The customisation options are terrific for its time, and the hands-off mentality behind decisions, force use, sabre use and leveling path gives us one of the most immersive option for those who truly want to feel like a Jedi (or Sith for that matter). :)

Solid game of its time.

In its time, this was a fantastic game of lightsaber and blaster gameplay. There are better games after this but this was peak for a hot minute. JK2 is better however.
