- Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - A masterpeice
Now id like to say that allthough I did give this game five stars and called it a master peice, i do have a few arguments...
1. The gameplay doesnt really pick up until you get your lightsaber, which is an imediate and noticable improvement.
2. The cutscens are, in a nutshell... crud... sorry guys, but theres always gotta be something wrong....
3. Too many Puzzles, allthough its EXTREMLY fun if you find a good Walfthrough, to shed light on otherwise long and boring paths... but remember, you should always see if YOU can finish the level before turning to a walkthrough.
Well, those are the bad points, heres a good pointor two...
1.The lightsaber makes this great game an AWESOME game, now, i used to have this on computer (till one of my ex-freinds decided to steal it and run off to britan), and i was amazed at the coolness of lighsaber and force powers in this game,(my trademark move, infact is chokeing an enemy then throwing a lightsaber at him while hes still in mid-air - v. cool)and i must say that this game continues on in that spirit, im impressed at how easy to use the controlls are on this game, Gamecube usually isnt the Best console for shooters (except for Metroid prime, duh!) but these ones tsake the cake.
3. Graphics (allthough, addmitably not excellent) are v. good, and the worlds are xcellent.... Allthough the game drops a frame or two in H U G E fights, the game useually hold together.
4. A HUGE variaty of different moves (too rival the collosal 3,000 of Enter the matrix), for instance, if there is an enemy behide you, snap back on the control stick and press attack at the same time and Kyle will stab backwards... The moves vary (once again as in ETM) with the position of you, your enemies, or your controll stick.
5. THE FORCE... Ahh, is there anything better that killing a whole room of storm troopersin one HUGE force move? Or in sending a rocket back at its originator with a flick of a wrist? pppprobably not! The Jedi fights are wonderfull to play, slowing down time to attack dark jedi with a huge jump finishing in a downward swing to cleave them in two... ahh, pinnicall gameing.
6.Authenticity. Allthough Luke and Lando havent seemed to have aged in nine years, we can overlook that, because E-V-E-R-Y Single model in this game... ahem... ROCKS!!! storm troopers rock, swamp troopers rock... to name a few...
hope you liked my review, cya!

This game is a Spectacular game, but it doesnt come without shortcomings, The first few levels are quite slow and involve a large amount of puzzle solving to get through, but once you get through these first levels and get your lightsaber and force moves, you be amazed at the gameplay.
Those of you that have played the game on PC will notice a slight change for the worse in grafics (in cutscenes and in gameplay) but other then that, there is no game like it on gamecube (except mabey Metroid Prime - Arguably the best game on GameCube to date) It boast rufly 25 levels over 8 inviroments (includeing the level from the PC demo, that was not in the PC full version)
Stunning game play but all-right graphics make this a 4 star game, note to developers - keep the cutscens the way they were in the PC version.

- Straight port from the PC version
This game is a stright port from the PC version, which was an excellent game. "Great", you might say, except it seems to be ported from a fairly low-spec PC; chunky controls, glitchy controls absolutely abysmal load times. If you can look past all this, it is a gem of a game -- how many games do you get your very own lightsaber?
If you have the PC version already, you don't need this game.
If you're not a fan of Star Wars, you don't need this game.
If you're not a FPS fan, you don't need this game.
If you don't know what FPS means, you don't need this game.
If you know all the above, you DO need this game! Also, if you are a Star Wars fan, knock another star on.
Rating: - A decent Star Wars title
When i first started this agme i thought, what have i done, but then with more playing and fianlly getting my Jedi powers the game opened up.
It is brillent fun to have a lightsaber out fightning one person while death gripping another or fighting a proper lightsaber battle with another jedi, or even in two player.
The stroyline is good and follows on well from the one previous. The graphics are good and show the world of star wars wells, if not that the cut scenes are a bit shakey and sometimes annoying.
If you like star wars then i would buy this if not concider it but it is not a must have for all gamecube owners.
Rating: - still good
This game has been slaughted by many game magazines and i can see a bit why. yet it is still very good. story line is good and you can have many hours slashing to bits alien scum and dark jedi.
Worst points
Cut sceens not very clear but some are as you go through the game. speech to lip movement not all that great.
Best Points
LIGHT SABRE
various force powers, not all available in the story though.
Strange bits
Yellow and orange lightsabres?? where did they come from
9 years on and luke and lando havent aged a bit.
