I am a Jedi

'Jedi Knight' is the sequel to `Dark Forces`, a game for which there are as many followers as pressed CDs. After a year late it had finally come: on 10 October 1997 reached the Jedi Knight German shelves, just one day after the American date. After such a long wait and so many press releases, which is why the release date was pushed back by two months, the demands were unaffordable. Therefore, many feared LucasArts- and / or Star Wars fans that the new action shooter is not able to meet these high demands, but after a few days it was clear one: `Jedi knight`s is probably the best 3D shooter of 1997. On first glance, the graphics may not be able to keep up with such competitors as `Quake II`, but if you delves into the game, you will notice very quickly, what possibilities the Jedi2 graphics engine programmers offered: huge Kontainer, freighter, about rolling R2 units and huge lifts and machinery. In addition, Jedi Knight is running on a Pentium 133 in 512x384 pixels beneficial liquid. Right in full swing comes the game but only with a 3D accelerator card. Then the many sword fights are really cool. Kyle Katarn, mercenaries and hero of `Dark Forces`, learns early in the game that his father was killed by a Dark Jedi, because he did not want to announce the location of a Jedi cemetery,` The Valley of the Jedi`. Therefore, Kyle still meets in the intro with 8t88, a normal Rechendroiden with inferiority complexes to find out the name of the murderer: Jerec. However, Jerec has a very high bounty for promised that tracks Kyle was the first, and that's nunmal 8t88 ... The tin has also yet stolen a disk of Kyle`s birthplace, which he must absolutely get back from the fleeing 8t88 because it apparently is a very important message of his father. Therefore Kyle chasing the first two Level 8t88 afterwards. When he has the disk finally, he embarks on his home in order to translate the news of his father's droids. Kyle gets after listening to the message of the droid still an old lightsaber, and Kyle starts the ways of the Force to explore and receive, depending on how well he completed the missions, one to three of 32 power-stars, he individual skills may assign that range from Force Jump to Darth Vader`s Force Grip. However, Kyle must later decide if he is a good or an evil Jedi. Then only a part of the power-aspects are available to him. Then, for the Jedi and the question of whether he preserve the power of the `Valley of Jedi`, before Jerec, who wants to usurp, protect, or to upgrade itself to advantage. With this choice, then change the cinematics, so he kills as his girlfriend, who incidentally were taken with real actors. Although the actors are no Hollywood stars, but they serve their purpose. The special effects were, as already for `The Dig`, of` Industrial Light & Magic` (STAR ​​WARS, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, etc.) rendered what one can also equal to recognize the quality of the videos. The game itself has an unprecedented depth, because it is also true as a noble Jedi feels when power obeys the commands. The weapons are indeed no instruments of mass murder, but are varied and in some cases known from `Dark Forces`. Opponents there are also enough and level almost too many: 21 in number! The first time you need for almost a week. The difficulty level can be regulated, but slightly higher than `Outlaws`, but slightly lighter than in` Dark Forces` stated, because you can now save at any time. From Endcutszene separate one, not only the level, but a total of seven Dark Jedi, the good contact with the lightsaber to defend and act properly intelligent. At the very end of course you have to compete against the Obermacker Jerec. However, the puzzles have it all: we must not only switch A and flip the switch B, but at a level to prevent, for example, depositing a space freighter, by pumping the fuel out of the tank and then find a way through the highly explosive fuel pipes , The music throughout the game is pressed as an audio track on the two CDs. For Fun: I have the game so far (1:01:00) whole 35 (/ in words: thirty-five) by times played! Do not think I would have too few alternatives! In my class there have 2/3 of those who call it a PC you own, buy, and are more than satisfied. Even with the multiplayer mode, which is known not to be used for `yes Quake II`. At this perfect game I can only say one thing and that exactly what LucasArts has said at a news conference: `Jedi Knight is to Dark Forces, which was about Quake Doom '!
