You Can't Kill A Good ‘Star Wars’ Game; 'Jedi Academy' Kept Alive By Mods like ‘Movie Battles’
CJ Estimada"Star Wars" has probably generated more great licensed games than any other film series. "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" was developed by Raven Software and published by LucasArts, by Activision. This is arguably the best "Star Wars" game to date.
The multiplayer version on PC and the original Xbox had some of the best communities, according to gamers. Kotaku writes that "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy," commonly known as "Jedi Academy," is a first and third-person shooter action title set in the "Star Wars" universe. It was released in 2003.
Part of a series that started with the best "Star Wars" game of all time, it's being kept alive by mods like Movie Battles. MBII is a team-based, last man standing multiplayer mod of the shooter game "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy," inspired by the most popular first person shooter "Counter-Strike."
About "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy"
Steam writes that in "Jedi Academy" the gamer is a new student eager to learn the ways of the Force from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. He or she interacts with famous "Star Wars" characters in many classic locations and face the ultimate choice: fight for good and freedom on the light side or to follow the path of power and evil to the Dark Side.
Gamers can customize characters by defining both gender and look before getting in the Academy to learn the powers and dangers of the Force. The player must help stop an evil plot by a Dark Jedi, which to collect and use Dark Side energy for their own ends.
The gamer then constructs his or her own Lightsaber from handle to blade. As this progresses, he or she learns the power of wielding two lightsabers, or the ultimate double-bladed Lightsaber made popular by Darth Maul.
Unique level selection system lets a player pick unique adventures and missions. There are six multiplayer modes with a team-based siege mode and two-on-one power duel. Players can fight in 23 multiplayer arenas.
"The Jedi Academy" is perhaps one of the finest games ever to use the "Star Wars" intellectual property. A marked improvement over its predecessor, "Jedi Academy" has more features, a more interesting campaign and a multiplayer build that still holds up over a decade and a half later.
As of this writing, it can actually still be played on active dedicated servers. Truly a masterpiece, it is worth a gamer's $10.
