Even with the Force at your side, the dated graphics and poor map design will make you want to play something else.
I understand many people love this game but I found it hard to figure out where to go as have the things were based on acrobatics. The controls were rusty to a player like me and the third person view toggle made Katarn look very un-Jedi-ish.
There were also little choices and plot elements.
The Jedi Outcast should definitely not be played if you want to hack, slash, or drown in Star Wars lore. Instead the maze-like maps will have you searching for hours. True, you have to figure out a lot of stuff but is knowing when to crouch, where to jump, really worth consuming your time?
