The game's story doesn't get in the way of the action but serves to tie the numerous missions together. Why did a female twi'lek steal information from Luke's chambers when the students were away rescuing the downed ship? What role does the Imperial remnant fill in this attack, and is it related to the mysterious Cult of Ragnos that is appearing in the galaxy? After a short training mission, you immediately set out to help Luke and Kyle obtain answers to these questions. The storyline revolves around solving several questions related to your attack at the start of the game. You don't have time to worry about Rosh, though. He becomes your friend, yet seems to become jealous of your abilities and is upset by his own slow progress. You and another student, Rosh, are the only survivors. Jaden's transport ship is attacked when it arrives at the Academy and then crashes into the ground. If Jaden is considered an unusual student, then your training is anything but common. Apparently, you've even built your own lightsaber, which is highly abnormal since lightsabers are usually built during training. In any event, you also happen to be the most promising student in the new class. You can be male or female, you can choose from one of several different races, and you can wear different outfits. You can actually customize Jaden's character. Kyle has since joined Luke Skywalker as a teacher at the Jedi Academy and is looking for new students. You previously played as Kyle Katarn, a strong yet reluctant Jedi, in the previous Jedi Knight games. You play as Jaden, the new protagonist in Jedi Academy. Kyle Katarn has retired from his swashbuckling days and becomes an excellent teacher for Jaden. It manages to take all the fun parts from its predecessor and greatly expands on them to create an engaging, new action game in its own right. Jedi Academy is not a revolutionary product, as it uses the same Quake III engine and gameplay elements as last year's well-received Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It is also the second Jedi Knight game to appear on the Xbox. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the third game in the series, or, technically, the fourth if you count 1995's Dark Forces, which didn't bear the Jedi Knight name (and didn't let you use lightsabers or Force powers, either). So, if you're wanting the best Jedi-training and adventure experience ever, then Jedi Academy is definitely the game for you.There are dozens of Star Wars games on the market, but none captures the excitement of lightsaber combat as well as the Jedi Knight games. Will you succumb to it? Or will you fight it off and take a more pure approach to the ways of combat? This story will make you make that choice.Īlong the way, Jedi Knight will take you to places all over the Star Wars universe, including getting you to see some classic Star Wars characters. You'll get to customize your character in every aspect, from how they look, to the look of their Lightsaber, to the powers you wield, it's all up to you.īut be warned, dangers are drawing near, and the Dark Side of the Force is closing in on you and your fellow Jedi Knights.
