This Game is the game of all games. The follow on games, Outcast and Academy, were pathetic sequels to this greatest game ever designed. For years a few hundred of us played darn near 24/7 on the Zone. The cool Zone, not as it is now. The game is that addictive. Here it is, 10 years later and I am still playing it. Get this game and get on Mirc server Enter The Game, Channel #narshaddaa and you will see just how cool multiplaying this game is. Skill levels have been reached beyond what the game designers could imagine. Every other game feels like slow motion compared to JKDF2.

My brother and I went through High School playing this game. This game had about a 5 year strong online mulitplayer following. THIS IS AN INTENSE MASTERPIECE!! It blended all of my crazy childhood fantasies into one. No one who played this game on the Zone will ever forget being force-gripped to death while an overhead lightning fast enemy like BSBMercyman or IRN_Gen_Patton shot them with a concussion blast and force destruction subsequently slicing them dead with a lightsaber before either one of them hit the ground. INTENSE is the word. I haven't played a game yet that was so intense on so many different levels. I give this game the ULTIMATE rating.

A must buy if you can't get enough Star Wars.

This game was a beautiful example of what a culmination of turning Star Wars into a 3rd person shooter could be in Dark Forces, and then coupling the natural progression of desire to spend time exploring the Jedi lifestyle. Dark Forces 2 neatly enfolds these 2 concepts into a game, while allowing the player to choose to remain loyal to good via Light-side powers or giving in to a more basic instinct for using power as a weapon with the Dark-Side powers.
The ability to switch between 1st and 3rd person perspective was a wonderful choice when deciding to wield the lightsaber or any normal projectile weapon. While this may seem semi-standard on most FPS games these days, it was not at the time this game was released and greatly added to the feel of immersion and the feel of greater control over the character. The range of environments and the feeling of accomplishment when gaining a new Force power was ramped up at a well-paced level.
There are many things to like about this game: The graphics, while dated now, were pretty for their time and there were many moments of surprise and enjoyment in the large environments. There were different ways to accomplish tasks depending on how you had allotted your Force upgrades, and many, many ways to be killed or fall over cliffs, etc. I especially thought the idea of having to battle Dark Jedi Masters as you make your way ultimately to the Valley of the Jedi was a nice touch and made the game feel more personal ...

Ok so the game is old, but man is it still as addictive as ever!
This game not unlike Jedi Outcast, balances the game between FPS and Light Saber duals perfectly, another thing they have in commen is a good story line, but where this one goes above and beyond is the levels and the movie cut scenes!
The movies are a bit B-Rate, but at least they were trying, and they did manage to pull off a decent job over all, not near as bad as the acting on an old CDi game or anything!
The levels in many cases are full of platforming, and battling your way up elevator shafts, large vast areas where there is nothing below you as far as the eye can see, there's a few anti-gravity situations...
...I dunno, it just feels like you are actually there some of the time, despite the dated gfx.
Still the BEST Star Wars game to date, well that and Knights of the Old Republic. :)
Be sure to GOOGLE for extra MOD packs, weapons, levels, etc for this game, there is still quite a homebrew community out there.
