Yep, it's a great game.
The lightsaber is especially cool.

I liked it. A very fun game with awesome MP action.

 

[Quaggoth]

I can't say as I liked MP (I only tried once with saber only and got waxed like 20 times), but SP seems quite good.

 

[WhoDeeny]

Kool, thx guys

I found it to be a bit tougher than most FPS games. Not always a good thing, since I got stuck a couple times wondering where the heck to go next or what I missed. But, it was more challenging than most. I'd say it's worth the money if you like FPS games.

Single player feels a bit like Wolfenstein single player: Easy, dumb opponents, can run through it pretty fast, and after doing it once you know the puzzles.

Multi player it lacks balance, Force powers + Flechette + sentry gun/seeker are the most important weapons rather than saber, too little variation in saber combat. Loads of levels where you can fall to your death, and in those Force push is used all the time.

Excellent game to play in multiplayer. Free for all (FFA) or Team FFA modes are okay but get boring quick, but the real gems are in Capture The Flag (CTF) and Jedi Master modes.

The twisted and arcane level design really shines when you play them in CTF mode - multiple levels, effectiveness of weapons at range and sabers up close, force powers to grip and throw people off ledges...clearly a huge amount of time to achieve a fantastic balance has gone into place here. CTF ROCKS.

Jedi Master mode is interesting and totally different. Only one person at a time has Jedi powers and the lighsaber as his only weapon - everyone else has guns and can't hurt each other, just the Jedi. Kill the Jedi and pick up the lightsaber that drops from his hands and you're the Jedi Master now - you get a second or two of invulnerability and hugely enhanced Force powers to figure out what direction to run like hell in and the chase is on. You'd swear you were acting out a scene from the movie with the amount of shot blocking, slashing and running you do. The slightest touch of your saber kills an opponent, but at the same time EVERYONE is gunning for you and you show up on 'radar' if you're in the area. First person to X kills while a Jedi wins.

Did I mention no CD key check? The JK II community is alive and thriving. I've played a few people from the forums already though I stopped playing a while ago and took up the Soldier of Fortune II Test. Skoorb is the only person I've ever seen use a Mon Mothma character skin to play with.

Single Player is boring until you get the LightSabre. And there a different difficulties for single, "Jedi Master" difficulty is extremely difficult ... you only max at 50 health.

Make sure you get the uncensored patch
It makes it possible to get more kinds of dismemberment from the lightsabre ... makes it kinda realistic.

Multi player it lacks balance, Force powers + Flechette + sentry gun/seeker are the most important weapons rather than saber, too little variation in saber combat. Loads of levels where you can fall to your death, and in those Force push is used all the time.

I've never lost to anyone using a gun. But I can say that push/pull/grip can be VERY annoying in multiplayer. I'd say sabre combat has a lot of variation and takes a lot of skill to use. Although I have a tendancy to randomly whack at people.

You guys mind letting me know what JK II server you guys play at

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

extremely awesome game

 

[DanFungus]

Awesome game!

 

[jaeger66]

I thought it sucked. I mean, if you like 1993-era "hunt the key push the button" gameplay it's ok but nowhere near as good as Dark Forces 2. It also features the worst level design I might have ever seen.

I agree, i thought it was well done. And hell, throwing people into walls using the force just ROCKS

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Uncensored Patch? Who? What? Where? Gimme Linky!

 

[Hammer]

Don't forget Skoorb's patented pink lightsaber.

I love it, not quite done yet but I'm a big SW game fan. It managed to get me away from CS for a bit anyways...

If you need help on anything just go here, ...Head to JK II

Make sure you get the uncensored patch

You can do it yourself, no patch needed.

Open up the console (Shift + ~)
Type "helpusobi 1" (no quotes)
Type "g_saberrealisiticcombat 1" (no quotes)

That turns it on for as long as you're playing. Once you exit the game, it's turned off. With a saber throw, i've managed to remove 3 limbs and a head from a stormtrooper

Also, if you do a "Setforceall 8", you get two new lightsaber stances (the second heavy stance is VERY powerful and quite fast for a heavy stance), and an upgraded mind trick and force speed. Force speed will kick in when the disrupter rifle is fired at you (maybe other weapons, but usually the saber blocks them) and you do a Matrix-esque dodge to avoid it. It's really neat. Mind trick lets you controll whoever you target for a short period of time, which is pretty neat as well). Of course, it's cheating
