A first-person shooter game often disguised as a third-person adventure game. Or, that's what I figure anyone would do in 'Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast', because what in the world is more awesome than fighting stormtroopers and Dark Jedi with your trusty Lightsaber. Not much, is the answer.
The game is the follow-up to the first, and also awesome, 'Jedi Knight', which in turn was the sequel to the old, influential first-person shooter game, 'Dark Forces'. It revolves around Kyle Katarn, a popular Star Wars Expanded Universe character who's canon existence currently hangs in the balance, and his quest to seek revenge on a pair of Dark Jedi supposedly responsible for killing his partner and right-hand-girl Jan in front of him during the early stages of the game, until he uncovers a deeper plot.
The game is still has the most satisfying experience of Lightsaber combat of any game. I have played through it all the way several times, and I used to save the game at every encounter with the "Reborn" Dark Jedi and the "Shadow Troopers" because of how awesome those fights were. I often went back to fight the best ones over and over. In fact, I feel like doing just that right now!
