STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

DF2 is still great, MotS is still awful

Recently gave this a replay with the OpenJKDF2 engine and the base game still has all its charm and great level design that I remember from when I was a kid. I never played MotS beyond a demo disc back in the day and always regretted it. Well, having it included in this bundle has been great because it has helped confirm that I was missing absolutely nothing ever since. By the second level of MotS, it's abundantly apparent the original developers had moved on to bigger and better things. The amount of level design contrivance is simply appallingly bad. I know it wasn't ever going to be as grandiose as the original, full budget game, but I think even the poorly done in-engine cutscenes were an early warning sign that MotS was basically just a cash grab. At least the original DF2 is well worth the price of admission!
