genrader's Journal: Jedi Academy

I finally beat Jedi Academy today. I still need to beat the Dark Side of the storyline but I hear it isn't much different. The game itself is pretty good, however the storyline just isn't very deep. The story could have been a lot better but because you're playing a third person Jedi character, you're barely scratching the surface of things that happened in the past to Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker, which you have to investigate a lot of things that happened to them. It smells. Overall, saber combat, the enemies, and level design is pretty good but I really miss the fluent storyline of Kyle and Jan back from Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, and Jedi Outcast. I hope Jedi Knight 3 comes out with Kyle as the main character again, I miss playing as him. GameSpot gives Jedi Academy an 8.4/10.
