Overall this game is good. But compared to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, this game is a lot easier and a lot shorter. I was hoping for a longer and more challenging game. I was surprised at how easy this game was. My main force power was speed. You could go up against ten troopers without a scratch using speed, and protect doesn't hurt either. Against the dark jedi, absorb and speed were my pick. There are even many places where you can just grip and throw them off the cliff, even the dark jedi. The graphics were pretty much the same as JKII, but the different scenery was nice to see. I don't see any point in choosing your missions, unless you want to complete the game even quicker. You have to complete four out of the five missions to advance the story. I personally chose to do all the missions, so I don't know if there is any difference in the overall game play. I did like the fact that you could choose between the light and dark side of the force towards the end of the game. Actually I think the Jedi are harder to defeat than the Dark Jedi. All in all though, I had fun playing the game. Using the double light staff makes everything a bit more entertaining. I'll definitely try again on Master level.
