I agree with you there on ranking with other FPS games.

On the "psychic moments" in my opinion it gives it definately a feel like Starwars Episode II, not like Quake, but the "kill thousands of people and run through a smashing vent shaft which would kill anyone but the most aware Jedi" situation. Definately Artus and NarShaada award awareness of the area, the clues are all there and it makes you slap yourself when you realise that you missed them. In truth I think it's because so many people are used to games like Quake which are more rigid and linear with obvious solutions, when JK2 rewards observation.

The only puzzle in game that in hindsight is truly lame, is the Doomgiver's comm array. *WHY THE CONVENIENTLY HUGE MULTISTORY COMM ARRAY AND DEATH DEALING PITS?*

I am still kind of undecided on this game; it looks quite nice as a game alone, but then again, I'm not into SW at all, which will mean that I probably will not understand a bunch of story-related stuff in the game. :p

aah, the neverending wonders of snail-mail. Brings back memories (like when I used to write to my grandma. I was about 8 or 9 back then. Now, I'd just send them an e-mail. Can't do that though, they're both dead.:( )

That's the great thing, there's very little to have to understand before you play the game. It's all introduced in the intro and you can treat it as yet another blaster where you're a sort of super hero if that makes things easier :)

At least try the demo :nod:

For making lasting impressions, a lightsaber is always the best.:)

The Force is A-1 SUPAR!!!!:D

But the Lightning power is enough cause for any Jedi player to turn to the Dark side.

I finaly got the game after two months of waiting. I have completed the first two levels and now I am on some damn sucking mining planet. I said that because the game runs like crap sooo slow and even on lowest configurations.

Heh, love that scene:

* BOOOM!! Jan: "What was that?" Kyle: "Just another day at work Jan"

Yeah, on my brother's computer, the game usually runs fine (1024x768, all on max except texture detail on high - too long loading times), but that Artus Mine ran very bad. But only when you were outside, and it didn't matter too much so I didn't touch the details. :nod:
 
The game will get awesome (if it isn't already) soon. ;)

Actually you should. It will not actually get any better. :headz:
 
j/k
 
Yeah, you shouldn't. If you want, I can tell you how much you have left before you get the lightsaber and Force powers. :)

Well I hope you are really kidding because I really enjoyed the game so far. And don't tell me when I am gonna get the saber and force powers. In the manual they had a spoiler about the first level and I thought:
"NOOO!!! EVIL!!!" :mad: :mad2: :headz:

Well, it's good that you already enjoy the game. It will only get better after lightsaber and Force powers. :D:nod:
