Star Wars Jedi Outcast - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

I haven't played a game in the Jedi Knight series since the originals which will always be my favorite games to play. Recently I bought an X Box and thought I'd see how the story and gameplay held up. At first it seemed really good, considering you could pick your species, clothes, etc. .... also the advantage of having to choose your lightsaber color, hilt and style were all surprising high points in the game. Once again the "video game acting" is very poor and corny, but the story followed well. It had many obvious twists in it, but it kept you entertained. The graphics and levels were all very different, vert realistic, and stunning. Another high point while playing. I was also very excited when the time came in the game where your character got to take the controls behind a swoop!!!! Enemies such as the rancors were a different pace and enjoyable to destroy. The only major down point to the game...why I only gave it three stars.....was the amount of jedi and sith there was to defeat. In the original jedi knights you only fought a few lightsaber battles..in some cases such as the first game...you didnt even have a lightsaber. I was glade to see you constantly had your trusty lightsaber on had to fling, throw, and block in times of need, but i found that i never put it away. Around every corner there was someone else swinging a colorful lightsaber blade in your face. I never got to use or try any of the other weapons...which are all very fun to play with...because there was.

Great game. Starting a collection.
