These abilities include non-aligned force powers such as Force Push and Force Pull, and your lightsaber skills such as Attack, Defend and Throw. As you make your way through the campaign your core abilities will develop as you become more proficient. You will travel to other planets within the galaxy for each mission and progressively face off against harder enemies, including remnants of the Empire. They plan to use an ancient Sith artefact to siphon strong residual force energy in areas greatly affected by the force. Throughout your missions you come across a plot being carried out by a Dark Jedi group called the Disciples of Ragnos and will eventually discover their plans to revive the long dead Sith Lord Marka Ragnos. You will select which mission sounds interesting and follow the objectives. The gameplay takes place over some plot-based missions and some selected missions that are presented to you on a computer-like user interface. Your teacher just so happens to be the hero of the previous games, Kyle Katarn, and he will feature prominently in this story too. You are assigned a master to help train you in the ways of the newly revived and reformed Jedi, and to teach you how to use a lightsaber without cutting yourself up into confetti. Taking place years after Return of the Jedi this story follows Jaden as he is introduced to the academy amongst other plain faced NPCs by none other than Luke Skywalker himself. Your character is Jaden Korr, a customizable recruit for the, as the name suggests, Jedi Academy based on Yavin 4. This takes you through a story from the Expanded Universe and features characters that also appear in books that are, unfortunately, non-canon (thanks Disney, you dicks). I started back where I always start, the single player mode. You can choose to use a lightsaber (who wouldn’t), blasters, grenades and force powers, as you combat enemy AI in both modes, and other players online. The game is separated into a single player mode and a multiplayer mode, and lets you play with a good variety of weapons and abilities. But, has it held up well enough after all these years? Well, if truth be told it is still better than most games that have been released in recent years and is still one of the best Star Wars games ever made, at least in my opinion. This game was the third to be brought out in the Jedi Knight series and takes place years after the second, known as Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, and was an absolute hit with its unique take on lightsaber combat. I jumped straight into the single player campaign and started chopping off limbs with an ear-to-ear grin that would frighten most. It wasn’t a good idea, it was fantastic idea, the best I had that day. Set to be re-released on current gen consoles on 24 th September this year, I thought it would be a good idea to dig this game up and reinstall it on my laptop to play through it again and consider buying it for my PS4. The memories of my time playing this did not take long to come flooding back.
