The translation from computer to Xbox is solid, but some re-worked points would've made this game a must-have.
The sound is as one would expect from a Star Wars game, classic blaster fire, lightsaber hums galore are in here. Every one of the sound effects is clear and crisp, and understandable. Even better than that is the voice acting which is top-notch. The acting gives a scruffy personality to hero Kyle Katarn, and a wise, Obi-Wan inspired personality to Luke Skywalker.
The gameplay is top notch as well. You are Kyle Katarn, you and your pilot Jan Ors have been assigned to check out a supposedly deserted planet named Kejim for Remnant activity by Mon Mothma. As the story unfolds around a villain named Desann, you regain your force and lightsaber abilities from the previous game. But not all at once and not at the start, the game has a predetermined ladder of points where you gain force and lightsaber skill. About 6 levels into the game you start gaining these and from there you are hooked. Simply becasue you now have abilities unlike that in many shooters, high jumping, pushing and pulling enemies, melee attacking and tossing your saber out like a boomerang.
There are plenty of secrets inside this game. Most of them are models for use in the multiplayer version, but there are also CG movies you can view, conceptual drawings, and bios of the characters.
The multi-player game features the standard far for FPS games, but also a FFA Holocron mode, which is FFA but the force powers are strwen throughout the map in cubes that then circle you, showing all what powers you have. There is also a duel mode which pits two in a one on one match in a small map. The others are left to observe the combatants. The big let down is that you can only have two people playing at once on multi-player. If there was an on-line service this would be a must have game.
Over all the game is very good, and retains much of the original PC version. The story keeps you intrigued, which is rare in shooters these days.
