10 hours to complete it, but it's fun. The missions usually boil down to follow-the-path-and-kill-everything, but there's the occasional puzzle or scripted sequence to keep things interesting. Combat's a lot of fun and you get to do the stuff a Jedi does - jump over buildings, Force choke people, etc.

Finally got it in the mail today. Immediately downloaded Siege Destroyer and am drooling over the Star Destroyer detail. HOWEVER, I can't join the game! Can you play by yourself in "siege" mode? It keeps telling me to select "join" from the menu, which I do, but I'm still stuck in "spectator" mode.

The message keeps saying "Waiting for players". I set it to max players= 1. Still nothing. Basically, I want to "film" the ISD, so I want to go in with cheats enabled, notarget, god mode, etc, and film a few "beauty" shots. Any suggestions?

You could always create a game with a bunch of bots...

Yeah, see if you can't just add one other bot on the other team. At that density, given the usual skill levels of bots, you'd be able to easily kill it and get your beauty shots. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I played a space map once in JA, and the bot just kept on dying because it would spawn in the hanger and run out into space. So, yeah, you should be able to put a bot in there and have it stay out of your way. See if that makes a difference.

The SD siege map doesn't have bot support, though. At least that's what the description said, I haven't installed it myself.

There's another SD map - but no bot support there, either. Your best bet will be to find a willing victim to start an MP game and have them stay out of the way as you film.

Actually, the bot thing worked! On another forum, it was suggested I start the map with cheats enabled. Then I could add any bots I wanted to.

Should organize some multiplayer!

I'm going to have to read the manual carefully. I tried flying a TIE Bomber and succeeded in crashing it back into the ISD!
