"Jedi Knight 2 turned out to be Raven's finest hour, a game that stayed true to the series while simultaneously refining and improving it. Raven achieved this by focussing largely on the one area in which Dark Forces 2 had lacked - the lightsaber combat. Dark Forces 2 was a fantastic FPS with a lightsaber in it. Raven inverted this design, creating a fantastic melee combat game with some shooting in it. It was the first Star Wars game to get lightsabers right. And aside from its pseudo-sequel Jedi Academy, it remains the only Star Wars game to get lightsabers right." _______________ http://steamcommunity.com/id/citizen059 |

Actually, it should read "to get sword fighting right", since everything so far is still deeply lacking in that regard. Blade Symphony tried hard, as did Chivalry, but both are found wanting in comparison to what the JK series offers.
It's a shame the article mentions MP in just a few lines, since that is what JK2 and JKA are and have always been all about. Even the sabering mechanics are superior in MP compared to their single player equivalents, especially in JKA. Have you tried playing some of the bosses there? It's terribly random, much more so than your average JA+ server. I'd even go as far as to say that the game fails to get sabers right in SP, which is rather unfortunate. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!
