"Solid"
In Mysteries of The Sith, you play as a background character from the Universe of Goerge Lucas'es imagination. The character- names Kyle I think, is on the planet Altyr, and has some secret...... ALRIGHT FINE, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEIR NAMES ARE! In all truthe, the only thing i remember was the rich experiance i had while playing it. If your too big of a fanboy to forgive me being clueless about the details, then dont read on. ...Thanks for reading on. First i should start off by describing the gameplay. It is a FPS, meaning you see everything in your characters perspective, making it hard yet suspensful to know who might be behind you. One of the big putdowns of this game though was that its in an inverted axis, so aiming up goes down, while down goes up. If your not fond of this, then you may not even want to give it a chance to see if you can change that setting. Another interesting fact is that this is the first Star Wars game i played that was a FPS, and also let you use a lightsaber. It is definately an important weapon, seeing as how it never runs out of juice, and will be needed to cut open grates in the mazes of ventilation shafts. Its also great for slashing Storm troopers, who are amazingly smart compared to their Movie counter-parts. As for Graphics, I'd say this is one of those games that may seem bad now, but was probably like Oblivion for the people who first played this. I loved how the framerate never dropped, and the character animations were phenominal. Sure, every Rebel is identical, wearing the same pair of Khackies, rain boots, a blue shirt covered by a black vest, and of course their groovy helmets. Interestingly, their were probably sever differant types of storm troopers though, which i know was on purpose. George Lucas always makes sure that a game with storm troopers has at least 3 differant ranked soldiers. If your not into these old school graphics- which you'd be terrible for thinking- then dont buy it. You know why? Because, their are plenty of people who'd wanna buy that last copy due to their appreciation for the design team who made it. As for the game sound, it's as good as it can get. It automatically gets a 10 for sound, because all of the sound effects, voice dialog, and musical themes in it are identical to the ones used in Battlefront 2. I'm not saying that its getting annoying. I am saying that the star wars universe doesnt have much originality in itself. !kudo's to the greatly done voice-acting of R4-D4, R2-D2's red cousin! I love his beeping noises! As for value, its fine. Its a long game, though almost half of it takes place in that same space station you start off in at the very beggining. Not much differance between each place, though im not sayin that thats bad. Really, I love it! I see nothing wrong if this game doesnt happen to have Hoth or Keshyyyk. Of course, this may upset alot of fans. As for tilt, it seemed great. Im not going to pretend that i was on the edge of my seat all the time. I do have to admit that alot of creativity was put in by Lucas Arts, who even to this day have been working hard on games like the Upcoming 'Force Unleashed' (TBA 2008). If your looking for a good star wars game, but only want to throw down 20 or less dollers for something that wont slow down your Hard drive, then pleeease buy this game. I really recomend it, seeing as how it reminds me of the good old days playing Halo 1. (yes i know, this came out about 3 years before halo 1) Really, buy it! Or dont, it doesnt really matter that much.

  3. An excellent expansion for Jedi Knight that with some extra spit and polish could have been a full sequel.
