Charting your journey from wet-behind-the-ears Padawan to stick-in-the-mud Jedi Knight, the new game is set directly after Jedi Outcast, and casts you as student in Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. After a brief spell in training, you'll be sent out on a variety of missions to fight crime and defeat a troublesome new faction in the galaxy.
In a shock move, the game drops Kyle Katarn the poncy bearded Jedi from previous outings as star of the show, opting for a customisable character creation system instead. So the first thing you'll do in the game is choose who you're going to be playing. You've got a choice of multiple species, such as Human, Zabrak, Twi'lek, and Rodian, as well as fully customisable appearance. A lot of people were downloading mods to customise their character in multiplayer, so we've put all that in the game.
You can also tailor your saber to your tastes with a choice of handle styles and blade colours, as well as choosing between a single blade, dual wielding or the Darth Maul-style double-ender. On the single, you can use force powers while fighting, as well as throwing it. On two swords, you can throw one and be fighting with the other one.
With the double-saber, you can't throw it at all, but you can kick enemies. This emphasis on choice also carries into the structure of the game itself. In an effort to provide a bit of that fabled 'nonlinear gameplay', each mission is made up of five separate levels. In each case you only have to complete four of them to progress, though you end up gaining more force powers if you complete all five.
Being a trainee Jedi also means plenty of mission variety. One of the levels we played at E3 required us to raid a criminal gang that had been capturing civilians and feeding them to Rancors. The primary aim was to free the civilians, but there was also the option to take on the Rancor itself - an impressive beast that gives testament to the enhancements made to the 3D engine originally Quake 3.
Somewhat less impressive was a level set on Hoth, in which you ride Tauntauns through a familiar icy wasteland.
While it's good to see the hairy brutes getting an outing in a game, it seems the jerky animation from the film has been reproduced a little too accurately. Classic characters such as Chewbacca are also set to appear. However, the most promising enhancements appear to be in the area of combat.
For starters, all the conventional weapons and force powers that existed only in multiplayer in Jedi Outcast are now in the single-player game, and some old favourites from earlier games are also set to reappear. Force Sight will make a return, as will, it seems, every other force power ever seen in the Jedi Knight series though the final list is still under wraps. Much more thought has also gone into the way force powers work.
Not only can you combine your force powers like never before, you often have to use specific forces in combat to counter enemy attacks. If you get caught in a force grip, for example, the only way to counter is to use force push. To make it over a large gap, you may have to combine force jump with force speed. Similar examples abound. While all this adds a measure of fun to the proceedings, Lynn is keen to stress that it's not a reinvention of the series.
If you know how to play Outcast you can pick this up really quickly. Still, it definitely seems that the Jedi Knight series is giving up any pretensions of carrying on the first-person tradition of the classic Dark Forces, to focus instead on a more crowd-pleasing mixture of elements. This is all well and good, providing LucasArts has the wisdom to give us a proper, hardcore Star Wars shooter to sit alongside it.
Now that would be something. While they never really took off online, the multiplayer modes for Jedi Outcast did contain some hugely enjoyable force-powered action. They were, however, pretty basic in scope, with vanilla deathmatch being the pick of the bunch and one-on-one saber duels the only real novelty. Jedi Academy, on the other hand, is a whole other story.
Not only is there a new 2-on-1 handicap duelling mode for those that fancy themselves as Jedi masters, but there's also a brand new teamplay mode dubbed Siege. Based around multiple objectives and player classes in the vein of Wolfenstein or Team Fortress , the new game will let you play as a demolitionist, medic, infantry, Rebel trooper, or, of course, a Jedi. The exact nature of the gameplay is yet to be revealed, but the mere idea of a Star Wars version of Enemy Territory is enough to convince us.
Determined to bring the Jedi Order back to their original glory, series protagonist Luke Skywalker invites the player to his prolific Jedi Academy. Playing as Jaden Korr, a young student, the player must battle through a series of exciting missions as a new Jedi recruit.
Along with your trainer Kyle Katarn and your friend Rosh Penin, you'll explore new worlds and further your training as a true Jedi Knight. Before you start the game in earnest, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy allows you to customize Jaden to fit your preferences.
You can pick various facial presets, as well as costumes and color variants. In addition to personalizing Jaden's avatar, you can also craft your very own lightsaber! You get to choose not only the color of your saber, but the style of hilt as well.
This upfront customization makes your experience with Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy feel more personalized. It's also awesome to see your personal Jedi in action, as your powers begin to grow. Gameplay in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is mixture of third-person and first-person action, depending on which weapon you are wielding.
After a brief tutorial mission that teaches you the ropes, you're free to choose from a list of assignments. As part of your Jedi training, you're required to travel to various planets and help those in need, which usually requires a hefty does of Jedi powers. In this way, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy gives the player a welcome choice in which mission they want to select first.
