Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection

It's five games and I haven't played all of them yet, but I played the hell out of Outcast and Academy ages ago and played my fill of Dark Forces 1, so here are my thoughts on those. Dark Forces 1 didn't age well, not because of its graphics, but its level design. Running around shooting pew-pew lasers at stormtroopers was all I really wanted from this game, and the first level is pretty much that; run around blasting dudes until you stumble across the objective, then leave. The second level was basically the same, but some parts were so dark that I navigated by firing my pistol, letting the flash show me my surroundings, taking a few steps forward, and repeating until I was out of the dark. You can find nightvision goggles, but the game doesn't tell you the controls, so be sure to google the buttons or something. One level requires you to sprint, which, if you've seen how fast your character moves by default, you'd think was already on all the time. From level 3 onward, the lasergun funtimes I came for were less the focus and more a thing that just happens on the side while looking for keys, switches, and wandering around trying to guess where you're supposed to go next. Maybe it was fine for its day, but there are better shooters available today and better things to do with my time, so I just stopped. My memories of Jedi Outcast are about 15 years old, so pinch of salt. The title of the game may confuse you, because you spend the first several levels NOT being a jedi, basically playing a fully-3D Dark Forces, but with more spoken dialogue, a better map, better indication of where to go/what to do in a given moment, and most importantly, the ability to save your game at any time, so you don't have to start a whole level over if you make a mistake. I remember having a pretty good time of it, other than a slow, tedious segment in which you have to escort a commander at gunpoint by constantly aiming at him. If you really don't want to do those levels, there are cheats available to let you skip straight to yavin_temple, where the jedi stuff begins. From there, your command of force powers and lightsaber styles gradually grow, but you can still use the guns if Lightsaber Throw just isn't enough in a given moment. You'll know whether or not you like this game when you reach your first Reborn and get to experience the real draw of the Jedi Knight series; the lightsaber fights. I don't think I can do it justice in words, so I'm not going to try. The rest...

Good old Star Wars game not that shitt from EA

If you're an old school Star Wars Fan or vaguely remember playing these games on Dos it's worth picking up this bundle!

The fact that I can get all these games I could never play growing up for such a great deal makes me happy!

An incredible collection that brings back some great memories, especially Jedi Academy which introduced a great combat system to the series and hasn't been match until recently by any other game. I strongly recommend it to all SW fans, although Dark Forces, Dark Forces II and Mysteries of the Sith might feel a bit clunky and might some time getting used to. Hopefully, in the future, we'll see more SW games that aren't afraid to take some risks and get creative.

It is truly a classic so excited to purchase these in the bundles. Loved them growing up and so excited I get to play them again

The games itself are good individually but alot of problems running or playing them on modern hardware

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are among my favorite Star Wars games that I played PC. What's most impressive to me is how fun these games still are despite their age, and how difficult they can be if you are using a controller rather than the mouse and keyboard like on the PC versions. but the majority of the games in the bundle are pretty awesome. I started playing Jedi Academy and I love it. There are PLENTY of light sabers to go around, and the saber combat in Academy is apparently the best in the series.
