They took the Quake 3 Arena engine and gave us Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.and now they've taken the Q3A Engine to new levels of excellence with JK II.
STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT II JEDI OUTCAST KICKASS HOW TO
Raven knows their stuff, and they know how to make a good game - they brought us Heretic, Heretic II and Soldier of Fortune. But JK II makes all the other games pale in comparison. I mean I loved Shadows of the Empire on the old N64 - it rocked to be honest, go ahead throw a Thermal Detonator at me I don't care!!! I speak my mind as some people have found out. I personally love Star Wars so I buy, get or generally borrow the games when they come out. Now we come to the latest in the series, so let's give a warm and welcome hand to the sexiest combination of publishing might and talent in the computer games world.Raven Software and Lucasarts together - Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast. The same as the mission pack/sequel - Mysteries of the Sith. Jedi Knight had fully 3d levels, and 3d models it was also possible to sever the arms off your enemies with the lightsaber - having a whole bunch of force powers and the ability to charge around with the weapon of the Jedi Knights made for some amazing gameplay and some kick ass multiplayer.but it never quite hit the mark, it was lambasted in places for being overly complex and relying on jumping puzzles and various tricks with the force. I must mention that DF's was a 3d/2d game in that it had 3d levels but mostly ala Duke Nukem - 2d sprites for the bad guys, but it was a lot of fun. Then we were given, by Lucasarts Jedi Knight which further expanded on our hero from Dark Forces (Kyle Katarn) and his background, we learn that his father was once a great Jedi and we know that eventually we're going to be swinging that saber with the best of them.

Back in the old days there was Star Wars: Dark Forces which was a nice treat for the rabid fans out there, it promised FPS action in a world populated by Imperial Stormtroopers and Rebel Scum.
