True, Jedi Academy absolutely continues the story and models itself on the adventures of Kyle Katarn, but it’s also very much its own entity.įor instance, you can create your own Jedi in training – choosing the hilt and colour of your lightsaber, as well as race, gender and appearance. Yes, I also remember and have fond memories of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
And part of the problem was following in the footsteps of one of best shooter-hybrids of the early 2000s, and what many regarded as one of the greatest Star Wars game of its time. I always felt like Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy got a slightly unfair rep when it first launched.Ĭritically, it took a little bit of a knocking.
