Ballistics Report

Pros

I find your lack of faith disturbing
We finally get to play a Jedi from first to last in a game, Force choke and all

En garde
Lightsaber combat has never been so satisfyingly realized

Atmospheric action
Missions play out like a travelogue of the Star Wars universe, ranging from well-known movie hotspots like Hoth to lesser-known novel settings like Bakura and Byss

Dueling under siege
Siege and Power Duel multiplayer modes feature both great team-based play and classic lightsaber combat with a two-on-one twist

Greedo didn't shoot first this time

Psychedelic sabers

Runaway train

Cons

Short stories
Many missions are positively tiny, which is doubly bad here because there aren't that many of them, and the first two-thirds of them are rather easy

Third-person panic
Although Jedi Academy is being billed as a first-person shooter, it's more of a third-person action-adventure

All choked up
