A spin-off of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy allows players to create their own Jedi, train in the Academy under the tutelage of Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn and ultimately choose to follow the path of the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. The game is powered by the same version of the Quake III engine used in its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to give a third-person view and new lightsaber effects (Jedi Knight II had these 3rd person effects as well). Players have the ability to construct their own lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. After completing certain objectives, new saber styles become available including the ability to wield two independent sabers in a style known as Jar'Kai, once used by Anakin Skywalker during the closing fight in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, or the double-bladed lightsaber (also known as a "saber staff").

This and the DF games kicked ***.
Star Wars ,I am Love!!!
The story of this very unique gem is very awesome. The characters, the plot and the possibility of view an alternate ending. This game makes the player to experiment awesome moments in the game-play. It has too many styles, the player can adopt its own way to play this game and years after, adopt a new style. This is the kind of game that never dies. This game also is mod friendly in mind blowing ways. The mod developer can tweak this game in almost every area. Mods exist in super small sizes and styles to gigabytes of info and total conversions. The hours added via mods are insane. I am sure that this game will be alive in 30 years still and will be a gem for those that played it to the maximum. [Story, Multiplayer, tons of mods]. The multiplayer side of the game is amazing. It allows the player to have a freedom in the game-play in which I haven't seen in 2015 again. The saber combat is what makes Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy unique video-games. The player can experiment powerful light-saber combats from different styles and conditions. It has been a really experience to have played this game and it is a must try for every star wars lover out there, even if you are not a fan. This game will get you in the screen for hours. The game-play is just so good.
10/10 I don't believe I will see a game like this again. This game is one of those things that are too pretty and too good without nothing bad.
Thanks LucasArts and RavenSoft for develop this incredible game! I hope to see more from you in the future.
impressive game for SWfans
