Ten years have passed since the Battle of Endor and the New Republic has driven the remnants of the Empire back to a point that the Empire is prepared to take drastic measures in order to get a foothold in the galaxy once more. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has begun his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. You have been invited to attend because you have demonstrated the ability to build a lightsaber without prior training. No one has ever done this before. So begins your adventure when your ship crashes and you must use your blossoming Jedi skills to complete the first of various missions.
“Jedi
Knight: Jedi Academy” is an intense gaming experience with phenomenal graphics
and sound. Players can choose between being either a male or female Human,
Twi’lek, Rodian, Zabrak, or Kel Dor and customize the look somewhat for some
choices of head, torso, and legs as well as a change in color, texture, and
style. Once you create your lightsaber, the action begins in a full color and
beautifully animated 3-dimensional environment. You can see your character and
navigate it in and around the area using the onscreen interface or HUD, which is
not unlike other games of this manner. I guess the hard part of this game for a
novice like myself was to just learn the various control commands and attacks.
You will definitely want to keep the manual close at hand for this game. Once
one gets used to the action of the game, it can be beautiful. Personally, I
found it a bit too hard to get used to and would have preferred something more
straightforward and dare I state easier. However players used to this kind of
game should have no problem getting the hang of the game as one or more
(depending on the playing mode) interact and make it through the academy
curriculum. The game is online enabled so players can interact with others
online through Microsoft’s “Xbox Live” service.
The choices in setting up how one chooses to have the game are quite extensive. If you have the time and the patience, “Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy” is a great game to explore, but if you are more into something generic or perhaps an old school (easier) styled video game then look elsewhere. “Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy” is available on DVD-ROM now for the Microsoft Xbox game system at retailers on and offline from LucasArts Entertainment Company.
