To start, I am not sure how this game got a 7.84 overall rating, who played this game and gave it such a bad rating? Star Wars is known to have great storytelling and video games to back it up, this game is no different, Jedi Academy is a great game, first of all, being able to customize your lightsaber at the start is a really awesome feature that does not come by often. the story missions are fun as you play through them they get progressively harder, than the first batch of missions. I loved being able to interact with many iconic star wars locations, like Hoth, Tattoine, and many more. The combat is amazing, it's a real lightsaber if you hit someone with it they die unlike a new Jedi Fallen Order where you have to hit the target multiple times, that is not realistic lightsaber combat, Jedi academy really gets it right and then there are the force powers that actually mean something because between mission sets you get a message from Kyle Katarn telling you that the dark side is bad or that you're on the way to becoming into a real Jedi. I personally choose the dark side because when you max out Force Lightning you can throw people far away as you shock them, it is very satisfying to do that to stormtroopers. The Light powers are more passive, like healing or shielding yourself from dark side force powers. The dark side warriors are also a great addition for you to encounter to practice your saber skills against a real challenge compared to the other smugglers or imperials you fight. This is an amazing game, something that you should look into if you are a star wars fan, there is so much to do. There is a Multiplayer mode but I really don't pay attention to it, but it is there.

I liked this game a lot! I was always into lightsaber combat and Star Wars motivation! It's a pretty good game but would have gotten a higher rating since the quality wasn't so high. I do like that you can play against other people if you didn't want to play the story.

The online multiplayer classic comes to Nintendo Switch™ with modernized controls. Take on the role of a new student eager to learn the ways of the Force from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
