Hmmm, it's OK, but I can't help but feel this is nothing more than Jedi Knight 2 but with a few improvements. The new lightsabres are nice, but other than that there's not much I can see has changed. Feels more like an expansion pack.

I read the review on Gamesradar, and it seemed a bit of a disappointment. It's a shame as I liked Jedi Outcast, though I guess I'll give the demo a try eventually.

Its a ok game. Have had it for a few weeks now but havent really played it. My friend has played it though and says its more of the same. Multi-player is good as you get to chose whether you have Dual, single or double ended light sabers. Also you get to have 2 different colours if you have Dual(personal favourite is Purple and Orange).

Tsk tsk tsk.

Average game imo, only appeals to big SW fans or poeple who enjoyed outcast, Q3 engine is getting old..a new one with HL2 engine perhaps? mmm

Ok, but Jedi Knight 2 plus. The lightsabre is still by far the most overbalanced weapon in the game. I hardly ever swapped to the ranged weapons. Still, its quite fun.

Hurrah!
One can never have too much lightsabre death in his life.
Thought Jedi Knight 2 was very cool - once you got the lightsaber. Until then was yet another FPS but with stormtroopers.
Soon as I got my khaki-hands on that laser-truncheon?
Carnage you could not believe.

One thing I do like in academy is the ability to select a single sabre, two sabres or a dual stylee ala Darth Maul.
The dualing mechanics change for each one.

Oh, the Force powers seem to be easier to use too (and more integral to the gameplay.)

Yep, new lightsabres are ace, and I love the duel sided one. Still won't be buying the game though, at least not until it's out on budget. It's an entertaining demo but too similar to Jedi Knight 2 to warrant me paying full price for it.
