Truthfully, I enjoyed revisiting Jedi Academy and quickly felt comfortable sinking my teeth into the action. In that sense, I would argue that Jedi Academy has aged better than its predecessor because these mechanics will undoubtedly feel more familiar to players of modern shooters.Īnd many of the criticisms lobbied at the game at the time – dated engine, level design, poor AI – while still applicable, will be more expected and accepted in a ported re-release. You can also level up your force powers and customise load-outs to bring into each mission. True, Jedi Academy absolutely continues the story and models itself on the adventures of Kyle Katarn, but it’s also very much its own entity.įor instance, you can create your own Jedi in training – choosing the hilt and colour of your lightsaber, as well as race, gender and appearance. Yes, I also remember and have fond memories of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. And part of the problem was following in the footsteps of one of best shooter-hybrids of the early 2000s, and what many regarded as one of the greatest Star Wars game of its time. I always felt like Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy got a slightly unfair rep when it first launched.Ĭritically, it took a little bit of a knocking.
