"One of the best Star Wars games of recent years. 8/10."

Manufacturer's Description
In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Jedi Knight, rebel agent Kyle Katarn returns in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the dark side, Kyle entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers and the lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - A masterpeice
Now id like to say that allthough I did give this game five stars and called it a master peice, i do have a few arguments...
1. The gameplay doesnt really pick up until you get your lightsaber, which is an imediate and noticable improvement.
2. The cutscens are, in a nutshell... crud... sorry guys, but theres always gotta be something wrong....
3. Too many Puzzles, allthough its EXTREMLY fun if you find a good Walfthrough, to shed light on otherwise long and boring paths... but remember, you should always see if YOU can finish the level before turning to a walkthrough.
Well, those are the bad points, heres a good pointor two...
1.The lightsaber makes this great game an AWESOME game, now, i used to have this on computer (till one of my ex-freinds decided to steal it and run off to britan), and i was amazed at the coolness of lighsaber and force powers in this game,(my trademark move, infact is chokeing an enemy then throwing a lightsaber at him while hes still in mid-air - v. cool)and i must say that this game continues on in that spirit, im impressed at how easy to use the controlls are on this game, Gamecube usually isnt the Best console for shooters (except for Metroid prime, duh!) but these ones tsake the cake.
3. Graphics (allthough, addmitably not excellent) are v. good, and the worlds are xcellent.... Allthough the game drops a frame or two in H U G E fights, the game useually hold together.
4. A HUGE variaty of different moves (too rival the collosal 3,000 of Enter the matrix), for instance, if there is an enemy behide you, snap back on the control stick and press attack at the same time and Kyle will stab backwards... The moves vary (once again as in ETM) with the position of you, your enemies, or your controll stick.
5. THE FORCE... Ahh, is there anything better that killing a whole room of storm troopersin one HUGE force move? Or in sending a rocket back at its originator with a flick of a wrist? pppprobably not! The Jedi fights are wonderfull to play, slowing down time to attack dark jedi with a huge jump finishing in a downward swing to cleave them in two... ahh, pinnicall gameing.
6.Authenticity. Allthough Luke and Lando havent seemed to have aged in nine years, we can overlook that, because E-V-E-R-Y Single model in this game... ahem... ROCKS!!! storm troopers rock, swamp troopers rock... to name a few...
hope you liked my review, cya!

A decent Star Wars title
When i first started this agme i thought, what have i done, but then with more playing and fianlly getting my Jedi powers the game opened up.

It is brillent fun to have a lightsaber out fightning one person while death gripping another or fighting a proper lightsaber battle with another jedi, or even in two player.

The stroyline is good and follows on well from the one previous. The graphics are good and show the world of star wars wells, if not that the cut scenes are a bit shakey and sometimes annoying.

If you like star wars then i would buy this if not concider it but it is not a must have for all gamecube owners.

Forget poor prequels, this is how it should be done
Right, anyone who saw the Epsiode 1 and 2 and thought, Hmmm, appears to be quite linear and boring. This game isnt. You dont need to have played the other 3 titles in the series (I know, it says Jedi Knight 2, but there are others, trust me). The force powers arent as good as before, but you get shed loads more in multiplayer. The plot is intersting, not like in Episode 2 - which was boring. Characters have depth, graphics and sound is amazing. The quality of the stormtroopers especially. Also, you will LOVE lightsabre dualling, as you attack you pull off mad combos with out any stupid button combinations, you get to cut off limbs and you sabre leaves burn mark on things like walls. As you get more powerful as a Jedi, you can do matrix style stuff like running up walls and metal flips too
