"Star Wars Jedi Academy"

Is Star wars jedi academy any good or is it about the same as jedi knight 2, is it worth buying? please let me know what you all think of it.

Just played the demo.

Fiddly force powers. I think that could be done better, but i'm not sure how. Tis great fun, especially killing an enemy Jedi and then pushing them into a wall as it slo-mos.

Looks great.

Has anyone played the multiplayer?

Will check when I get home, sure I remember seeing a patch of some sort for some folk who were getting poor sound from the game.

Got a lightsaber in each hand now to beat the darkside down.
Most excellent fun it is too.

I have trouble with the sound I think its to do with my soundblaster live card

The only RPG aspect is choosing what force powers you want to add experience to, up to a max of 3 per power.

The rest is charging about killing things.

is it more a RPG or is it still the same

Most enjoyable. Well worth the shinny pennys you pay for it.

I tried for about 5 mins though, they kept running away.

Ya, I'm pretty miffed you can't slice open the Tauntauns and sleep in them though.

New lightsabres.
Selectable character appearance.
Speeder Bike chases
Tauntauns
Hoth
Darth Vader's castle
Better force powers
loads more Dark Jedi
Luke Skywalker
Chewbacca
The Millenium Falcon
X-Wings

It's superb
