Summary

A great game, but it brings out the worst in people during multiplayer online

The Good

First off, the graphics are very good. You can even see the stubble on Kyle's face. Secondly, I love the way that people can make their own skins and maps easily. The online multiplayer is very good, but it's better with a mod such as JA+ and Xmod. I love the dual saber option especially. Ah, good old backslash...

The Bad

The single player is the most boring thing I've ever played. There are no addictive weapons, the force is weak, and pretty much the whole premise sucks. Secondly, on multiplayer, it's brought out the worst in people. The option to "lame kill" has attracted more than a few (killing while someone is away from keyboard or chatting). And "clans" have completely made this game into a dictatorship; the clan administrators can change any option they want for the server, such as which type of saber style does more damage. They are forgetting it is supposed to be a fun game where people can respectfully play together and admit defeat without calling their prey "n00bs."

The Bottom Line

If you buy this game, think twice before entering a clan. 8/10
