Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - PC Video Game Review

Star Wars Jedi Knight II

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast deserves a medal for making Star Wars games cool again! You play as ex-Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn and it's up to you to stop the evil Empire Remnant from conquering the galaxy with an army of cyber-Jedi. Don't those nerf herders ever give up?

Good thing they don't, cuz Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast rocks! It's got excellent graphics, cool sound FX, lots of wicked weapons and Jedi powers that'll knock the socks off the bad guys. You can even mix it up online with Jedi Knight II multiplayer matches where you battle your buddies with blasters, Lightsabers and the Force. Playing team vs. team matches and "Capture The Ysalamiri" mode really spice up the multiplayer game.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II

The best part of Star Wars Jedi Knight II doesn't start until you've slogged through the mediocre lower levels. Then you'll be up to your Lightsaber in a way cool story, intense Lightsaber duels, wicked battles plus a chance to chat with Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian.
