Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is worth checking out for the world building and the story is 'aight for it's time.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every level has you exploring what feels like a real place – a Hutt palace, a mining facility, a spaceport – whatever the case may be, the level design feels congruent throughout, like a fully realized location instead of a series of shooting galleries.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While lightsaber combat at this point in the series was still "meh", something about it felt... better in this game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Originally an expansion pack to Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, this game has a few things going for it: the soundtrack is absolutely amazing, it has full Xbox One controller support on PC, and you get to play about 2/3 of the game as Mara freakin Jade!
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game also feels in many ways more ambitious than JK2, with more friendly NPCs, improved multiplayer, a variety of level sets, new weapons, and more.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The shooting can be fun and the FPS mechanics work just fine.
