Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith

The Multiplayer mode of this game is superb. Great for playing online.

Single player mode: The last level is the best, though even in hardest mode it could be a little harder, but the last level did prove to be a challenge very unique ending to this game.

Very good game, Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, does not live up to it's continuation, though it is a good game it does not have the quality of Mysteries of the Sith, such as the personality section of having a choice to be a Bounty Hunter, a Soldier, a Scout, or a Jedi. And in Jedi mode you can mix both the Light and the Dark Side of the Force together, making it the far superior game to Jedi Knight Dark Forces II.

Their are only 2 down falls to this game: One there is a glitch in the MP section that does not happen often and is only in 2-3 levels, in which you will die continuously , but as I said it does not happen very often. Second it does not have the capture the flag levels that JK has instead it has a Kill the Fool With the Ysalamiri, in which is in a way a hide-and-go-seek game JK style, The person with the Ysalamiri will continuously get points for as long has he or she is able to keep the creature, and as many Star Wars fans know the if you are a Jedi the Ysalamiri will disable your ability to use the Force. This game can be fun, but is not believed to be has fun as JK's Capture the Flag (CTF)

Very fun game I recommend it to any Star Wars fanatic.

First of all, let me say that this game is not nearly as good as Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, but it is still very fun with great settings and characters, especially for a shoot-em-up game. However, most of the dialog between the main characters like Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade is very annoying, especially considering Kyle's great performance in the previous game and Mara Jade's excellent performance in Timothy Zahn's books. The storylines themselves aren't so great either. Giant asteroids attacking a rebel base? And I found the whole Kyle-going-to-the-dark-side thing a little annoying. It's still a cool game, but I'd recommend getting Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight instead.

After playing Jedi Knight, I wanted more. And I got it. This expansion pack was a blessing. It not only featured Kyle Katarn and more of his adventures; it also featured Mara Jade of the Timothy Zahn Thrawn novels. And some of those exact same creatures and characters from those books. Of all the games featuring Mara Jade, this was the only one I got to play (and enjoyed).

The new weapons, Force powers, and tools in this game were similar to Duke Nukem 3D, especially the remote-trigger mines, the freeze gun, and the projection ability. But unlike Duke Nukem 3D, this was less Doom-styled graphics and more Jedi Knight. Plus, we get fourteen more levels to play in addition to the twenty-something from Jedi Knight. Oh, and the voice acting was pretty good too. We get Terrence McGovern (from the old Ducktales and Darkwing Duck) and Rino Romano (who would later star in Curious George and Godzilla: The Series).

My only beef with Mysteries of the Sith was that some of the puzzles were a little too hard and could be frustrating. Some of them I passed with a cheat code or two, though I prefer to save those for when I'm severely taxed. Anyway, that's not the point. Just try it if you liked Jedi Knight and want more of the same. It's worth your while, even with the dated graphics.

Yes Jedi Knight offered FPS action in a complete star wars environment, introduced a whole new level of gameplay but Mysteries of the Sith, the continuation takes it to yet another level with authentic sounds, graphics and vehicles. Although the full cinematic cutscenes have been replaced by in-game cutscenes with no lip syncing, the story is still very well narrated. This game is also very very difficult and becomes amazingly difficult towards the end, providing a good challenge. The level design is utterly brilliant and spans very different environments which are also huge. Even though there are intelligent puzzles to solve, there is also a lot of frantic shooting action thrown in. Do not miss this at any cost.

I would like to comment on the multiplayer part. It has some great locations from the original Star Wars movies, such as the death star throne room and the carbon freeze chamber in cloud city.

These things make up for the minor defects that the single player campaign had. But it's still a good game.

I have spent many enjoyable hours with friends playing this game. I suggest you do the same, and may the force be with you :)
