If you want to feel what it is like to be a jedi, this is the game for you

If you want to feel what it is like to be a jedi, this is the game for you. Nothing has ever come close. However, the campaign has some really annoying puzzles, feel no guilt in using a guide or walkthrough if you need it

Exactly what I hoped for

Terrible guns, a bloated arsenal with overlapping functionality, a slow start, levels that feel unfinished (missing lights, missing textures, critical path not always obvious), floaty platforming, overly complicated controls, and a very average story (sorry, Kyle). So why the thumbs up? You know why: the lightsaber combat. Only the sequel even comes close to this. Turn on dismemberment and realistic lighsabers (via cheats, no mods required!) and voila. Yeah, it makes the game easier, but it's just too cool to pass up. Nothing is better than 1 v 3 fights with dark Jedi, flipping like Yoda, both lightsabers and body parts flying. It also adds some hilarity too. Dark Jedi monologing too long? Just throw your lightsaber at him and cut him in half! I find the sequel just about better in every way, but this certainly ain't a bad game.
