hey, has anyone played the jedi academy game, perferably the xbox version(which i just cannot find anywhere!) how is the game play and force powers and all that jazz...

I've only played PC. However, it was pretty cool. Some of the missions can be downright frustrating to finish, though, and as you have to finish a set number of missions before you can lvl up (so to speak), it gets old fast. Still, if you can stand that, you can seriously enjoy all the customization available-- nothin' like being able to wail on someone with a double-bladed lightsaber a la Darth Maul!

but is it basically just like jedi outcast?

Jedi Outcast with dual sabers and saberstaffs, an extra gun, better graphics, better multiplayer modes (on the PC version anway), and customizable force powers (not so linear).


At least, on the PC version. Love it.

i played this really ghetto demo pc version and i thought it was pretty cool, and i loved outcast, especially with cheats, but i dont like pc controls, hence the xbox version....they dont happen to make it on gamecube do they?!?!?!?!

As far as I know, no. You could try ebay or Amazon.

I have the Xbox version and it's decent. Things that get on my nerves are the swoop bikes being a pain in the ass (i.e. damn near impossible) to control and the fact that toward the end of the game (since you don't have as many buttons as a keyboard) it takes a hell of a long time to switch between force powers. This can be a bit of a problem when fighting a boss and you need to switch to heal.

The customizable hot buttons help out a bit with that, but there's only three of them and they get rid of one for multiplayer.

what i liked oon outcast and especilally outcast multiplayer was that if you wore them down with push enough and then threw them to the ground and then threw your saber, it was like the easiest kill ever. i love harassing stupid storm troopres by stealing thier gun then tormenting them with grip

I know you said specifically for the xbox version, but I found it to feel a bit half-arsed on the PC to be honest, felt like it had just been slapped together without much in the way of thought. Still enjoyed the gameplay though, but it seemed a bit much to spend on a game for what is essentially something that only differs because of the inclusion of a few swoop bikes and a rancor. If I want decent force power selection, i'll dig out jedi knight again.

i dont know if this applies, but on the demo, there were like 4 guys i was getting shot at by, and the game guy sooooo laggey...mind you it was a demo but still, i reckon the xbox version wouldnt be so....when i played the things with the force i used were heal saber throw or i squated down with my dual sabers and they danced around in a saber whirlwind of death, for me, it has cool enough force powers
