It wouldn't be Star Wars without a scrolling opening exposition

Jan and Kyle return to fight for the Republic

The dark Jedi Tavion and Desann are plotting with the Imperial Remnant to... well, that would ruin it

Kyle begins the game without force powers and standard FPS gameplay

Your data pad provides important information including mission details...

...and information on your weapons and inventory items

The game environments are full of familiar Star Wars trappings. Stormtroopers, scout walkers, and ion cannons! Oh my!

Soon, Kyle must return to the Valley of the Jedi...

... and reclaim his force powers (despite his dead father's concerns)

The third person view provides smoothly flowing lightsaber control

Saber duels are quick and fluid and very deadly

Kyle also regains his force powers which gradually increase in strength as you progress through the game

Deflecting blaster shots is entirely passive. Just stand there and let the imperials kill themselves with their own weapons

Unklike Jedi Knight, force powers are not divided into light and dark so feel free to help the Remnant forces "get a grip".

Another staple of Star Wars games, a wretched hive of scum and villiany

Every want to pilot an AT-ST? Hey, if they're gonna leave the keys in it, I'm going joyriding.

Skywalker may no longer crave adventure and excitement, but you're not Skywalker

There are seven different multiplayer modes available

All of the single player game models are available for use in multiplayer

Just spawned in a multiplayer game. Time to grab blue's flag!

Our flag's been stolen, so now we have to find it and kill the one who took it.

During multiplayer, you can put points into different stats, making your character stronger.

This door requires a large blaster, uh, blast to get through.

You can use Jan to unlock some doors.

Light amplification goggles makes it easy to see in low-light conditions.

That was close! Almost fell off the edge.

Introduction

This game has some pre-rendered cutscenes (with no characters, though), and ability to replay them.

Kyle and Jan are both back, and this time taking their relationship one step forward.

Kyle using binoculars just to see Stormtroopers rushing towards him.

Watch out when shooting at foes above you, as they tend to fall down atcha.

Shootout in the mines.

Inside a very lethal reactor generator.

Checking out mission objectives.

Using force grip on poor and defenseless Stormtrooper.

Splitting a Stormtrooper with a lightsaber.

Throwing lightsaber is a daring move as it leaves you open for enemy fire.

Meeting a heavy resistance in a Tie Fighter hangar.

Sneaking upon a Swamptrooper.

As your force grows stronger, so will the side effects available at your disposal.

Imperial walker ahead crumbling upon your missile impact, but the enemy turret on the right will be harder to deal with.
