After playing Battlefront (2015) and last years Battlefront II and finding it lackluster as the reviews stated. People mentioned to try Jedi Knight series as those were far superior to the newer Battlefront series. I remember Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast on the PC back in 2002 and remember seeing it in action but never got around to playing it. After finally playing through it completing it I can tell you that it's light years ahead (in terms of gameplay) compared to the newer Battlefront games. From the beginning you of playing the game you can tell that the game play quality is far superior and the diversity of levels are great and challenging at the same time. Not to mention it had a great story to go along with it. You can tell that the developers put it in great deal time and effort to design the levels and the light saber battles are easily the best light saber battles in any Star Wars games (also great in Jedi Academy). Which begs the question, is Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast the pinnacle of Action Star Wars game? I heard that Jedi Academy was good but not as good as Jedi Outcast. Every other Star Wars after the mid-2000's has been garbage. I mean look at 2015's Battlefront, I literally got the game for $60 and they only had couple of maps. Where as Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast charged less and we got way more levels. It seems like from 2002-2005 we had the best Star Wars games. Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast (2002), Jedi Academy (2003), Knight of the Old Republic (2003), Knights of the Old Republic II (2004), Republic Commando (2005). And I think Disney made it worse with them acquiring the rights to the Star Wars franchise.
So, looking at over all the action Star Wars games Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast is the best action Star Wars games? Were the Mid 2000's the last great era of Star Wars games? What do you guys think?
