Jedi Outcast is easily one of the best Star Wars games. Graphics at the time of release in 2002 were some of the best to date and gameplay didn't lag behind, it is Star Wars at its best. Main protagonist of the story is Kyle Katarn, a former Jedi who with his friend Jan Ors went to investigate an imperial outpost on planet Kejim, however they were ambushed and because Kyle abandoned his force teachings he lost his friend and had to return and relearn the force and become the Jedi again. Soon he will meet up with good old Luke Skywalker (plot is happening 8 years after Return of the Jedi) and will be set on course to stop an army of Reborn and Dark side users who supposedly killed Jan.
Game starts slow as Kyle lost his connection to the force and it is slowly coming back to him, by that time we would shoot our way through the hordes of storm troopers with standard blasters. After he regains his Jedi status and start using force and his light saber is where this game shines the most. Kyle can do all those cool things all the Jedi can do and can even use force lightning. There are some nice environmental puzzles and tough encounters with at time decent AI. Without proper balance between force and FPS weapons Kyle would have a tough time beating the game. Multiplayer in Jedi Outcast was one of the strongest aspects of the game. As I said this was and still is one of the best SW games worth checking out today.
