Ok, so I basically love the star wars movies and I don't feel I've experienced all of them or maybe even close...

I've only played Star Wars Obi Wan and the rogue squaudron games..what have I missed out on?

Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith are good if you're into much older games (I also recommend Dark Forces, the first game in the series, but it's just guns, no force powers or lightsabers), and Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy are unmatched by any Star Wars game of all time at lightsaber-wielding, force-using jedi combat.

You should definitely try the Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 by Bioware. They are set several thousand years before the movies but do a very good job of capturing the star wars feel. The stories focuses on the conflict between Jedi and Sith.

The Knights of the Old Republic is a must play for both Star Wars fans and RPG junkies.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Knights of the Old Republic are pretty much the two best games available that depict the Jedi and Sith in the best way possible.

i think we can all agree that KOTOR is top of the list. Dark Forces is up there too.

KoTOR 1 and 2, and LEGO Star Wars, their take on "Luke, I am your father" is hilarious.:D

KOTOR 1-2

the Dark Dorces/Jedi Knight series (Dark Forces, Jedi knight, Jedi outcast, Jedi Academy)

TIE Fighter

X-Wing Alliance

If you ask anyone on here they'll tell you what I have listed above are probably the best Star Wars games of all time

Well if you want the best experience of being a JEDI, and not just Star Wars in general, that's the Jedi Knight series hands down. Jedi Knight II and Jedi Knight Academy are great. Some prefer JK II over Academy, but I liked both.

Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith are good if you're into much older games (I also recommend Dark Forces, the first game in the series, but it's just guns, no force powers or lightsabers), and Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy are unmatched by any Star Wars game of all time at lightsaber-wielding, force-using jedi combat.JP_Russell

I do not recommend KOTOR (knights of the old republic). I know it is somehow really popular for some reason i don't know why though. I guess the story's good but if you want to fight like a jedi do not play this. The fighting is really lame its like turn based or w/e I do not recommend this in the slightest unless your only looking for a good story and don't care about the fighting then giv eit a go but if you are looking for a game where you can fight like a jedi or anything like that then don't. Yes I do expect to get flamed for my post :)

From what I've seen of TFU, it pales greatly in comparison to Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy for real-time jedi action in every way. It's more formulaic; the latter two games are more free-form and make you feel like you're fluidly controlling the saber, where you want it to stroke, what combination of technique and form you want to use for a fight, etc. Also, all force powers are consistently useful in different situations in JK, whereas I've heard many criticize the balance between the force powers in TFU, saying force throwing objects is pretty much the most effective way to combat the hordes of stormtroopers and whatever else have you.

Although I think Knights of the Old Republic is a great game, I have to agree with this mang somewhat. I felt much more like a Jedi while playing Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast than I did playing either Knights of the Old Republic games. I can't say I felt much like a Jedi while making light side or dark side choices because the choice to be good or bad has been given in other RPGs before.

I think the ultimate Jedi game would be excellent realtime combat with the depth of an RPG.

I agree, people aren't understanding what he's saying, they interpret his post as "KOTOR sucks" and that's it. Like you said, KOTOR while a good game, and giving you Jedi options, doesn't make YOU feel like you are BEING a Jedi. The only games that meet that criteria are the Jedi Knight series. KOTOR, while excellent, isn't the same.

It would be like having a Battlefield game with a turn-based/tactics approach. While yes, you might have all the options a soldier on a battlefield would have, it would in no way shape or form make you feel like you were IN battle.

valid points, though, i think kotor and kotor 2 are notably worth trying, but you will feel more like a jedi in the jedi knight series.
