I'm still not a fan of the throwing(and it gets to be downright common, here), but they kind of had to have it, after it appeared in Mysteries of the Sith. The swings are also far more effective and fast(again, with the release of Episode 1). in this game, their appearance closer resemble those of the new trilogy of films, at least in part due to the release of the first of them having been to the theaters when they were making it. Almost everything in the game is fully developed. The Single Player portion is of adequate length, and is of high quality throughout, nothing seems tacked on. Both as a straight FPS and as third-person-action, the game is an *enormously* fun time in the SW galaxy. although there are parts of this that are surpassed by the first). The game-play is entertaining, and that is an(but not the only one) aspect where this really lives up to the first(and at times surpasses it. Sound and music are excellent, throughout, wide range of both and the quality is top-notch all the way. AI is magnificent, enemies behave realistically throughout, if the range could have been better. This helps make the fact that the cut-scenes are now(as opposed to the live-action of the first) almost entirely engine-based(supplemented with a handful of CGI-sequences) easier to accept, as does the reasonable cinematography and range of animations, and the flawless programming of both. Blaster fire, the levels, the *Lightsabers*. Graphics(the engine is a modified version of that of Quake III) are absolutely *gorgeous*. The boss enemies are fun, for one immediately obvious reason, but the explanation behind them(and thus, how compelling a presence they are) just doesn't measure up to that of the first. Difficulty settings are fairly well-done, if parts of the game seem overly challenging regardless of which you play on. these include switches and such that you activate with your Force Powers, a vehicle or two(not spoiling the surprise in this review), and more. Level design/LOD are great, if not quite as expertly done as that of the first, but there are definitely some marvelous things to be found. There are many different areas in the SW universe, all rather nicely done. The plot is pretty good, if perhaps not the *most* original ever, and it features something of an inconsistency(another reviewer comments on this, too) with Star Wars canon. This does an amazing job, even if it doesn't reach it all the way(what could?). It had it all, and it was all very accomplished. Following up to the first Jedi Knight was not going to be easy.
