A bit of time capsule since it contains live action cut scenes that were more common in games made during this time, and that don't have the best acting or CGI. But game play is solid and has a unique story that puts it among the best games in the franchise (with possibly the highest stakes, higher than in any of the movies). It's also revolutionary in it's system of how your actions in game and what force powers you work toward affect your ultimate alignment toward the light or dark sides.

Played this game when I was a kid on a Windows 98 and it's just as gritty as I remember it. This one isn't just about nostalgia, I definitely feel like this is one of the best SW games next to Jedi Academy as far as story and gameplay are concerned. 10/10

This game was my childhood. Even after all these years, I still know where each enemy spawns during the first few levels. If you grew up on LucasArts games, you have experienced the Star Wars golden age. Still waiting on that remaster...

This was such a fun Star Wars FPS and a great sequel to the classic Dark Forces. It's well worth a purchase by anyone that appreciates a good Star Wars story from before the dark times (Disney).

This is still considered by many one of the best Star Wars games out there. Sure the graphics are outdated, but back then it was an amazing immersive Star Wars experience. The game had everything a Star Wars fan would love (cut scenes, Star Wars themed sound track, modern gaming engine, massive world, etc.), and especially (for the first time I think) the option to choose between the light side and the dark side. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3248774032
