After spending many hours playing Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, I was execpting quite a bit from Jedi Academy. I am VERY happy with the multi-player, after spending hours getting pissed off on Jedi Outcast from repeated use of the 1 hit KO jump move of the red saber style and the Jump special of the yellow saber style..I was very happy to see it now takes force, so you won't see people jumping around like drunken jackals using the red saber style jump move. And the single-player is ALOT more varried now, but really, really short. And the AI is indeed suicidal, epscially on Multi-player, any place with a cliff they will run towards and jump off, it's like they WANT to die. But the multiplayer is TONS of fun, get online, play, have fun, no more n00bs running around doing special moves over and over, no more force choke abuse(not as much, force powers can't be used as much in this one, you can still foce choke players off the edge if you have enough force reserves). I am very happy with all the gameplay fixes, and I reccomend it to anyone that hated the saber move abuse in multiplayer.
