RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Games and Tech I think I'm going to buy Jedi Academy next...

...in the classic pattern of Let's-buy-the-game-two-years-after-its-release, I have decided that I want to get 'Jedi Academy' for the X-box next.

What can I say? I like my purple lightsabers.

If all you want is slicing your enemies up with a lightsaber, then yeah, the Jedi Knight series is the right one for you.

But if you want a different kind of action-packed star wars games, you should try out Republic Commando where you lead a squad of clone trooper commandos on a mission on Wookie World

But that ain't cheap.
Oh, and you can get "Outcast" for about $10.
'least, for PC you can.

Jedi Academy is a better game, but Outcast is more stable. Goddamn academy is riddled with bugs and they stopped releasing patches.

...notice how academy didn't get as much attention as the other games.

yeh. Academy was cooler if only for the improved customizability in a [primarily] action game.
And I think it was released at a bad time, that's all.

cj I'm sure wants the x-box version..no glitches that i found. Good game..the super force jumb is a pain, and the game itself is short, but is is playable on xbox live in arena type play.

I hated this game. I got it after playing Knights of the Old Republic and it was a massive let down.
Its a bunch of running and lightsaber throwing.

I never liked the lightsaber throw move. It looks stupid. meleeing with the saber is way more dignified.

Yeh. Maybe if they improved the animation/physics.... saber-throw at high levels was pretty useful, tho...

And yeah, melee with the saber was useful.
Though... "Outcast" focused more on the other weapons, not just the saber, I felt.
I thought that was nice.
