  Lightsabers Rule

  Written by WN from Boston

  This game is insane. The range of moves and attacks that can be performed with a lightsaber for me was the best part of this game. You don't just smash buttons in this game - each move requires thought and preparation, especially if you're playing on "Jedi Master" level. That's the other great thing about the game; not only is it customizable based on character, equipment etc., but there are no less than four levels of difficulty. I downloaded the demo and have been playing the same two levels for three days straight. Graphics are fantastic. I can't imagine how addictive the full game can be. …More

  Excellent Sequel with Fun Gameplay and Very Good Performance

  Written by JK from Los Angeles

  I just finished playing through this game and it was really excellent! The lightsaber and force customization features are what really make the game interesting because it is a radically different experience depending on which force powers you use and what kind of lightsaber you choose (the game offers you a single saber [with three different "combat styles" available], two sabers, or a dual saber). The plot isn't terribly interesting, but it's more than good enough to keep the action flowing along. Some of the levels are extremely well designed (you can tell the attention to detail) and most are a lot of fun to play. Your character also has access to the lightsaber weapon from the very beginning of the game, which makes the game interesting right from the start.
  
  Performance is very good on my PowerBook G4 12" 1.5 GHz. I was able to set the geometric complexity to max, texture quality to medium, filtering to medium, and turn on dynamic glow (included in the free update patch available for download from the game maker--makes the lightsaber look amazingly real) and the framerates were still very good in most levels. The graphics still are not the absolute best of any game I've ever played, but the game still looks good. The dynamic lighting and glows and lightsaber effects are very well done.
  
  Like Jedi Outcast, the controls in Jedi Academy are pretty easy to learn, easy to customize, and easy to invoke. The game's lightsaber engine is pretty well refined and some of the moves are really neat looking. Within no time at all you'll be engaging in lightsaber battles that look like they came right out of the movies. It's really a lot of fun. …More
