Jedi Knight

I recently got a demo of the game Dark Forces 2:Jedi Knight from Lucasarts.
I think this is one probibly one of the best Doom/Quake games I have ever seen.
I didn't pick up much of the story but I got a good idea of what the game is like.

During the game you change from the light side to the dark side and back,
depending on how many civilians or workers you kill.
Although it looks ok I think that without a 3D effects card it
doesn't look a lot better than Dark Forces.
There are 10 weapons(I think) including:

Fists
Single fire blaster
Stormtrooper blaster(Rapid fire)
Thermal detonaters(like grenades)
Chewie's Laser Crossbow
Sequence detonators(Mines)
Rail launcher(like a missile launcher)
Repeater gun(Fast firing gun)
Concussion rifle(BIG gun)

Light Saber.

This game has some very original ideas, the Force can be used to increase your speed,
to make you jump high, to give you better vision and to be able to pull objects towards
you(including enemies guns).
You can also get: Bacta Tanks for healing, Field Light to see beter in the dark and UV goggles for... stuff?

Good points:		Bad points:
Light Saber can block oncoming fire.		Needs a 3D effects card to look good
Enemies say stuff like "Blast him"		Explosions look a bit dumb
Outside view optional		Enemies sometimes talk to themselves "Set blasters on full" and no one is about
Fully 3D. If you walk around a body you can see ALL of its sides.		Some doors take ages to open.
There are many more good points but I wanted to keep my list even.

I took some screen shots of the game, click on the small image to see a bigger one. Sorry these are so dark.
