Oh well, you can't please everyone all the time. I still think its a cracking game - and I'm enjoying it more than I enjoyed MOH.

I think the graphics are great! You sure you've got everything on max detail ?

For fans of the original Dark Forces games, this is a cracker. Add to that I've just got a great little golf game on my PS2 and there ain't gonna be a lot of work done round my office this week!

Been away at the weekend so I'm lagging behind everyone else - just got past the scout walkers...

I don't agree, I've enjoyed the game all the way through.... and I have played a few of these babies although I do admit that the levels up to getting the Lightsabre were a bit lame.

Just mark my words and look forward to Soldier of Fortune 2!!! Some of the STi clan guys will know what I'm getting at.

And FYI - Lucasarts only licensed the game. Raven made it.

I know there's probably a ton of people with it already, but I'm looking forward to checking this puppy out.

The more I play it and get into it, the more I'm enjoying this game. I haven't even got any 'force powers' yet!

All the old weapons are back too from Dark Forces II - thermal detonator grenades, pulse rifles, etc... GREAT FUN!

Its not often you can say this, but this is a game you can safely go and shell out £40 for, no problem.

Pause over. Just had initial play...first comment....

Thank god it's not a piece of pi55 Fed up of easy games. Ran in aimlessly blasting away....oh look I'm dead. Bit more caution called for then, and some target practice

Sorted out some video card issues that I forgot to do after clean installing my PC, and it's running beautifully now in high detail at 1024x768 Will sit down some time this weekend for a proper full on sesh. Well recommended for star wars and FPS fans

Burr, that was a pig

Anyone playing the game - don't read on as it'll spoil things for you..

Burr, 2 things to do:
1. Hitch a lift on one of those mining vehicles
2. To achieve 1. you'll need to do something BELOW the room where the mining vehicles come inside the 'building' for the first time.

Some of the puzzles are really good - this game will make you think a bit harder than the others!

Pete, there is a new force power in the game....Jedi Mind Trick

We've already done all the these are not the droids you are looking for jokes

We can even network it up if you are still coming over on the 6th?

MVC is a shop in town It's now a part of streetsonline on the web. They had the game in Game for 34.99 and 200 yards away in Nottingham in MVC, it was 29.99 and 27.99 for members ....errr...hello, which place would you buy it from

Top quality game so far. Apparantly there are 24 levels and each one is massive I'm taking it steady so I get some fun out of it.

BuRR, where are you stuck? There is a walkthrough on http://www.gamefaqs.com. I've just about finished the trash level (I'm on my way back to ship with guest).

It's a good game this. Still got some of the infuriating bits from Jedi Knight I, where you have missed one little bit and can run around for hours looking for it....but on the whole, well worth the dosh. Something I can't say about a lot of the drivel that is being produced these days But then with a game lasting me on average a week, maybe I ought to look something more constructive to do with my time

Just had a go online too now

Great fun. It was a Light Sabers only battle

Runs perfectly, even on my rather poor graphics card

God this game is absolute rubbish, another game that has been hyped up much like MOH this is a very very disapointing game.

Game play is boring and aiming is really really really bad, the imperial guards are like superman.

Just a fusion of Dark forces and the phantom menance (the latter of which was also terrible)

Save your pennies, this really is cackaroo.

Sad Damaja, sad

Aiming ? Depending on the type of weapon and the location you hit the body. Stormtroopers need a headshot to take them out.

Heh. there's always one! The game will probably go on to sell millions of copies this year and there'll be Damaja hunched over his monitor cursing the aiming system - love it!

Like I said not everyone's cup of tea, just most peoples.

Sad?

I think it is Sad that games companies can get away with churning out the same old stuff year after year. Die hard gamers will agree that this is complete toss.
