To Know The Light, You Must See The Dark!

Beginning with Dark Forces and then again with Jedi Knight, LucasArts has a long-established heritage in the first-person action genre. In Star Wars Jedi Outcast, LucasArts continues to build upon this storied legacy. Jedi Outcast promises gaming depth in both single and multiplayer modes. Seek the destiny, and combat the enemies, of returning ex-Jedi Kyle Katarn. Play through combat scenarios armed with a full arsenal of weapons, including Kyle’s lightsaber and blaster – but will you dare use the Force?

The legacy of Dark Forces and Jedi Knight lives on in Jedi Outcast: intense first-person action in the Star Wars saga! In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Jedi Knight, rebel agent Kyle Katarn returns in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the dark side, Kyle entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future. Jedi Outcast is being developed in partnership with Activision's critically acclaimed developer Raven Software. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers and your lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes.

Reviews:

GameSpot :" [Jedi Outcast] is a very slick game that borrows the best elements from past shooters, introduces a number of its own great twists, and them combines these elements to make something that will be highly enjoyable both for those who like shooters and those who simply like Star Wars. And if you happen to like both, then you'll be especially impressed. "

IGN: "If you're even remotely interested in this one, you should go buy it and play it. Not only is this one of the greatest Star Wars games I've ever played, it's one of the best action games period. Get it, Play it, Love it."

GameSpy: " The most fun you'll have... is when you're confronted with large groups of enemies in wide-open spaces. More than the standard run-and-shoot, this is the kind of strategic combat that worked so well in Halo and Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault. Add your Force powers and some lightsaber duels into the mix, and these battles evolve into some of the best action you'll experience this year. "

Games Domain "Jedi Knight II is a sublime Star Wars experience. It takes the best of Jedi Knight and superpowers it with well thought out Force powers, excellent level design, fiendish and boggling puzzles and simply magnificent lightsaber fights."

epiGamer.com :"I can safely say Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is the best Star Wars game I've played in years and has provided me with more joy than any other recent shooter. While the game faces stiff competition..., Jedi Knight II benefits from taking itself less seriously, allowing for an altogether unique and exhilarating experience"
