You receive a point when you complete a mission (each power has three levels of improvement) and you can distribute it in any of these eight powers at the start of the next mission. The dark side powers include life drain, force lightning, force grip, and rage. There are also eight advanced force powers to choose from (4 on the light side and 4 on the dark) the light side abilities are absorb, protection, heal, and mind trick. You start out with eight core force powers pull, push etc which are automatically upgraded every time you return to the academy after missions. The options of customizing your character does not end at physical appearance, you are able to specialize and train in a selection of different force abilities, light and dark. On each subsequent mission after the training you set about finding out more about the cult, battling with dark Jedi, the remnant and a few bounty hunters along the way.
From here you take on several missions, mostly with Kyle to begin with to find these answers and soon discover that a dark jedi called Tavion (Dessans apprentice in Jedi Outcast) is behind the attacks. Tavion is attempting to resurrect the spirit of dark sith lord Marka Ragnos by using his sceptre to drain dark force energy from locations across the galaxy. The storyline revolves around solving several questions related to this attack at the start of the game.
However your ship is attacked and crashes into the planet, leaving Jaden and one other student, Rosh Penin, to make their way to the academy on foot. Kyle Katarn, (the reluctant Jedi you played as in Jedi Outcast) returns as a mentor at the Academy and becomes your master. You play as Jaden Korr, (a character you can customize to be male/female, human, twi’lek etc) a padawan who is travelling to Luke Skywalker’s Jedi academy on Yavin IV, along with other new Jedi hopefuls.
#STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT JEDI ACADEMY REVIEW 360 SOFTWARE#
It was developed by Raven Software and published, distributed and marketed by LucasArts in North America and by Activision in the rest of the world. I’m still in awe of the amount of customization you were able to do (back in the day of course) on your character in a game that is a first/third-person shooter and not an RPG. All done but I still prefer the dark side ending.Įither way I realized how well this game has lasted for its age, the game play is still as fun and exciting and the lightsaber combat second to none. By the time I gotten to my favorite part of the game (choosing between the light path and the dark path) I realized I’d never actually completed the ‘light path’ version of the storyline.
Released: Sep 2003 (PC) Developer: Raven Software Publisher: LucasArts & Activision Genre: 1 st/3 rd Person Action Shooter ĭecided to dust off Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy and see who still played it online, I was surprised to see quite a few people still do so I thought why not play through from start to finish. Nothing like dangling a storm trooper over the edge of cliff using force grip or throwing him halfway across the map! ~James Hare Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
