Jedi outcast and academy missing from the op post is a shame!
Sp was okay-ish in both, but mp......

Brilliant game!
It is indeed, I have fond memories of playing this with the awesome Microsoft force feedback flight stick. Jumping to hyperspace was an epic feeling.

I still remember Republic Commando being one of my favourite Star Wars games and I am so amazed it never received a sequel at some point.
Obviously Battlefront 2 was amazing also, amongst other games.

As far as Star Wars games go, this is a real classic:
I actually haven't played it in years, but in my mind I would like to think it still holds up. Also the X-Wing/ Tie-Fighter games are still great too.

Academy had better MP in every way. It even had all the maps from Jedi Knight 2. After the summer sale this year there was like 3 Aussie servers with people playing. Legit too and no bots.
If you don't have nostalgia for them back in the day, they're awful. Hard for hard's sake, and borderline nonsensical much of the time. ESB is the most playable of the three but I wouldn't call any of them good by modern standards, and I never cared much for them at the time, either.

Star Wars Empire at War:
It is one of my top 5 RTS games.

Still the best looking Star Wars game IMO.
This shit had me legit amazed when I saw it running on a demo unit in a gamestop, and this was after having played Halo on my friend's Xbox for quite a bit. Comparing the size between the mammoth Xbox and the tiny Gamecube, I just couldn't believe it in my little pea brain. I'm just like, "How is this little purple box doing this?" That and seeing Resident Evil and Metroid Prime in magazines led me to buy the Gamecube the next year.

I remember being desperate to play this back in the day, but. PC wouldn't have supported it.

I played most of Jedi Outcast for the first time about a year ago and I don't know if it holds up that well. Maybe just barely, but there's a lot of old PC game bullshit kicking around in there. Hope you like quicksaving every five feet, especially for the three or so levels before you get the lightsaber. I've heard Academy holds up way better.
Episode 1 Racer's still pretty good though.

So many games with that IP, they really did almost everything.
I don't think it holds up today at all.
I kinda liked it at the time.I'll be the only one to suggest this

You wouldn't believe how many hours of my life I have spent playing yoda's stories
Is this getting a gog.com release? If so I am soooooooooooooooo buying it.

This had the best cheats on PC. Fun little game to me.

Man, what I would have given for some mixture of this and supremecy/rebellion back in the day
would have been the greatest galactic supremecy game ever.
But we all know who is the real king of Star Wars video games.
So much better for lunch break at work than stupid Solitaire.

Alot of memories with this one. Really pining on a stream release along with Ep 1 Racer.

Great childhood memories. One of those games you were kind of obsessed with because of how hard-as-nails you found it at the time.

I really should replay Republic Commando again. Shame it didn't get a sequel.
I honestly hate Battlefront 2. FFS got it as a kid and even then I could see its flaws and they've only grown more obvious and painful as I've aged. The balance, the animations, the terrible gun feel, just everything about it is just off.

word up if you know this shit
this is the true best MP you'll find for any star wars game, ever
lightsaber battles that are actually like classic star wars movies, 'power balance' done right between mooks, heroes and jedi
this is the realest star wars MP game
accurately creating what the tension was supposed to be in the ep1 naboo power generator area with 'duel of the fates' playing? waaaay too fucking cool.

Im really surprised this hasn't been mentioned in either the OP or first post.
Yup. Not sure why we haven't had a new Star Wars game that capitalises JA's combat system.

Salam alaikum, my Jedi Brotha.
Jedi Outcast is like one of the best singleplayer game ever released.
Jedi Academy is like one of the best multiplayer game ever released.
The saber and force combat has not been beat to date. Its just amazing how deep and flexible the combat was and You additionally had one of the best movement schema of any TPP game ever released.

Unmodded KOTOR 2 is also better than KOTOR 1.

How odd. I installed this game for the first time on my sons PC last night at 2 in the morning. He loves it.
Great idea for a thread by the way.

The force is strong in this one, greatest lightsaber gameplay in any Star wars game
RebelFM had an interview with the director of the game in 2009. Really great insight into the development of it.

I truly believe that Jedi Outcast is one the greatest action games ever made. The lightsaber combat and force powers are unique, well executed,and a blast to use. It's definitely in my top five. It's just a shame it doesn't seem to be more widely remembered.

I loved KOTOR will always be my favorite.
I really remember liking SW Bounty Hunter where you played as Jango but that was a long time ago not sure how well that's aged.
I enjoyed battlefront a lot as well

Pretty much everything I could mention has been.
Amazing how good the brand was and how great so many of the ganes were too.
Sadly last game that comes to mind was the awful Kinect title, a horrible use of the brand and one of a number of low points for brand value.
Disney arguably have better track record than Lucas of retaining and preserving brand value so curious to see how they handle things including deals made before their ownership.
In some ways I'd be a lot more interested in great games based on Star Wars franchise than films. Or at least a bit of a return to the glory days of both.

Absolutely terrible but I played the crap out of it. Game just seemed broken in so many ways even to my untrained eye.
