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

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

Jedi Academy got me so into lightsaber dueling that I had to load up my Phantom Menace DVD and check out the closing duel of the fates battle again.
