Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story, even though is mostly delivered in the form of voice overs over gameplay footage, is really effective.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Anyway, to get away from all that, the story is reasonably effective.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I haven't played too much multiplayer but it seems fun, I just don't think the game still has that much of a playerbase 20 years after its release.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are alright, I would say the hold up very well, they don't feel ugly to look at by no means.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Their gameplay is fast and satisfying, some can force push and some throw their sabers, making for extremely fun combat.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It'd probably be even more fun if the multiplayer was a little more active (I did see one nearly full server in the server browser so that's cool) but as it stands, the singleplayer component is pretty good, and the game runs surprisingly well.
