Monkey-Plex Review: COMPUTER GAME: Jedi Knight II

COMPUTER GAME: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast 4 monkeys

I think the biggest compliment I can give this game is that it feels entirely right. A couple caveats here: I’m not a big player of first-person shooter video games. I’ve played exactly one other beside this one. But in my experience, the single player experience here is pretty dang compelling. And the multi-player? Fantastic. Sure, it’s a bit of a drag playing on my 56k modem at home (reason #451 I need to switch to DSL), and I don’t have any of the fancy add-on keypads or macros programmed in that so many of the other players do.
On the other hand, in a “Duel” mode game the other night, a player accused me of cheating, and changed his own screen name to reflect his accusation. How great is that? (Even if I had any idea how to “cheat” at a videogame like this, I wouldn’t. I mean, I always pick the “light side” of The Force for my powers, instead of the more fun “dark side.” Remember Yoda’s words to Luke – the dark side is NOT more powerful. Admittedly, in this game, it is pretty fun to use a Vader-style Force “choke” on an opponent. Not that I would know ... )
All in all, good FPS fun here. I mean, you get to run around with a light saber, using The Force, and battling like a Jedi. What more do you want?
Oh, information on where to buy it? Try my favorite CD-ROM store, Interact! Dave Sparks is the proprietor, and a good man. Tell him you read about it here.
