Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

THE GOOD:
Good action, a lot of fun, many cool weapons to own your enemies with.

THE BAD:
Horrible cutscenes, so-so graphics, mediocre sound, a few glitches.

SUMMARY:
I acquired this game from my friend after I let him borrow KOTOR. This game looked pretty good so I figured that I would give it a try. However, Immediateley I was dissapointed by the bad graphics and horrible cutscenes. They just are not good. At all. Also, the lip synching is some of the worst I have ever seen. While this game suffers from some flaws, it also has some good points. One of them is the weapons. There are ton of weapons that you know and love from the SW universe such as the Imperial Blaster Rifle, Wookie Bowcaster and Thermal Detonators. There are also some other cool weapons that make killing those storm troopers a lot of fun.

THE GOOD:
Some nice graphics, Imperial soldiers can die in some funny ways

THE BAD:
Everything else

SUMMARY:
This game is by far the worst thing I have ever seen come out of LucasArts. As a matter of fact, it's probably the worst game I've played in a long time. I won't bother with story details, I'll just let you know why I think this is terrible.

First off, I found the wobbly motion of movement to be confusing and irritating as hell. I realize running isn't a smooth action, but this exagerates it to an annoying degree. I also found the puzzles irritating while the enemy easy. Granted, I didn't even bother to play past the first mission because of the stupid puzzles.

The game runs like this (so far) - Find way to open door, kill some guys, find way to open another door, kill some more guys, die a cheap death (like being killed by the fireball near the beginning), restart level and do it again knowing you now have to...

THE GOOD:
The graphics are smooth and crisp. The gameplay is original and extremely fun. There are plenty of missions and tons of vehicles and enemies.

THE BAD:
Only one thing is really a let-down in this game. As Adam Sessler said: "WE HATE ESCORT MISSIONS". And unfortunately many of the missions turn into it.

SUMMARY:
Overall an excellent game, graphics, and gameplay. Excellnt variety of missions, enemies and the vehicles. Thats what makes the game, the vehicles. The awesome vehicles. The ongoing saga of Star Wars continues, and if you're only going to buy one Star Wars game, buy this one. There are land speeders, experimental walkers, tanks, and such. Also a great multiplayer and Xbox LIVE support make this game awesome. Buy it. There is like a MechAssault Grinder-type mission, where you rack up the kills on increasingly large amounts of enemies.

THE GOOD:
graphics, good story, the mutiplayer modes, and the force powers

THE BAD:
the control is a little tricky, and the a.i. is a little dumb

SUMMARY:
~graphics are crisp. when you pull out your lightsaber, you can walk against a wall or any object and it will put a scratch in it. The force is sweet to, you and throw your saber, put someone in a choke hold from a distance, or just snatch a soldiers gun right from his hands.

~Sound is on point, from turning on the lightsaber, shooting your gun, and hearing a soldier scream to death while you throw him from a hight ledge. Music fits the game well, it slows down when nothing happens then speeds up during intense combat.

~control is really tricky, becuase of how you switch weapons and pick other itemss. Sometimes its annoying especailly during close saber fights but it doesn't ruin the fun.

~Overall its worth the $50
