Favourite game of all time?

Thank the lord for creating this game:



Odd cover because ... you never even see Darth Vader if I remember correctly ... hope that's real

This game is basically what brought me into the world of first person shooters. (The events in here take place a year after Episode VI, so there's some freedom granted.) The game follows the story of Kyle Katarn, a rogue bounty hunter that used to work for the dark side, now works for the Republic. He travels to Nar Shaddaa and learns that his father has been killed by the all powerful Jeric, one of the dark lords in those days. However, the droid telling him this also has a disk that was found in his father's house. Unfortunately, he won't hand it over, so that's when the shooting starts. This cutscene describes it better. After that, Kyle gets his lightsaber, learns about the Valley of the Jedi, and goes on a quest to stop any dark jedi from using it. All in around 20 levels.



Since I was about 7 years old at the time, I couldn't have cared less about the graphics. The levels ranged from exploring cities to escaping freefalling ships. Bosses in this game were creative, even if the lightsaber combat was a little stale. Going around blasting storm troopers never got old though, especially with the variety of weapons and force powers you had. The guns ranged from your own basic pistol to a stormtrooper rifle, crossbow, repeating rifle, rail gun (basically shot exploding charges), and concussion rifle. Although I summed the rest of the story up shortly, it was pretty epic (see the rest of the live action cutscenes). There was one specific moment when you could choose whether you wanted to follow the light or dark side. It would mostly go off of your decisions beforehand though, meaning if you went through town killing every civilian in sight, guess where you're going. I'll never forget the music either ... classic star wars tracks. Might sound lame, but those tunes are still stuck in my head. The cutscenes themselves were remarkable at the time, and I know there was a whole 'nother community for modding and multiplayer. I never went into it though, since the single player was enough to captivate me. The expansion - Mysteries of the Sith - had an amazing story as well, but going into that would probably take up way too much space



The game didn't stop there, as it also leaded to Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, both great games in terms of lightsaber control and storyline. But nothing replaces Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 in my mind, and nothing ever will.

Good god Dark Forces 2 was so awesome, i played that thing religiously. Golden eye was good too, loved perfect dark.

Can't really pick a favourite myself.

Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot about this game...



That game, was so bloody hard it was unbelievable, but I loved it so much. First epic platformer. I don't know how many of you lot will remember or even know about this game. Very, very old, but very, very good.

I spent so long playing JK2, the single player was so awesome, i remember how hard the starting levels where before you got your light sabre and how **** awesome it was when you got your force powers maxed.

I never liked the multiplayer however couldn't get into it, not enough control of the light sabre to make it feel like i was accomplishing anything by killing someone with it, over just getting lucky.

That was the last good jedi knight game, the whole academy stuff wasn't as good IMO, hopefully the new star wars game will bring it back to what it used to be.
