The game start out as a standard first-person shooter, which makes sense based on Kyle’s dark-side temptation in Mysteries of the Sith. It has been nearly 8 years since the game was released, so when the entire Jedi Knight collection was released on Steam last fall I installed Jedi Knight II on my netbook to see if it would run … and ended up playing once again! When Jedi Knight II was released in late March 2002, gamers were treated to a thoroughly modern graphics and combat system, but also an implementation of a great lightsaber and Force power system within the context of a true Star Wars EU (expanded universe) story worthy of the Kyle Katarn legacy.

The same day that LucasArts announced that the Obi-Wan game would be coming to the about-to-be-released XBOX, they also announced that Raven Software was developing a true sequel to the Jedi Knight franchise for the PC based around an older Kyle Katarn and utilizing the state-of-the-art Quake III Team Arena graphics engine. We were all very disappointed by this turn of events, but before long we were treated with some even better news. It was during that time I joined a Star Wars gaming web forum community, making online friends I have had for a decade. But in late 2000 (after my wife had placed a pre-order for that game and Duke Nukem Forever through Amazon, feeling great about her Christmas shopping for once), LucasArts canceled the PC version of the game and eventually released it for the XBOX. The game was to be a successor to the critically and commercially successful Jedi Knight games. Since I have already expressed my love for the original Star Wars Jedi Knight and the Mysteries of the Sith expansion, it is only fitting that I move on to the sequel! Don’t worry, I will return to Dark Forces soon enough and have also recently completed Jedi Academy … so soon I’ll have reviewed the entire Kyle Katarn saga on the netbook for you! But for now, let’s look at Jedi Knight II.īack in 2000 LucasArts had a game in development called Obi-Wan, based around the character portrayed by Ewan McGregor in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
