Combat mode

It will be the latter method. The combat system is not at all similar to Jedi Academy's. You will not have the same type of control, but you will be able to select from a variety of moves. I'm not sure which system I'll like better, but I think I'll probably like KOTOR's better. It sounds more strategic, and sounds like it requires a bit more thought, without having to have l33t m@d button-pressing skillz. ;)

 

Oh, and did I mention you'll be able to pause the game mid-fight and choose what attacks to do, for every one of the three characters in your party? That's pretty cool too.

Ever played NeverWinter Nights? KotoR uses a modified version of the NWN engine, so it'll probably be similar.

 

Personally, I like the NWN style better than JK style. Right now, JK is dominated by button-mashing. It's not really fun.

The problem here is there is Button mashers and there are skill players in JK and JKA. JKA is worse, because of all the special moves. I use dual sabers and never use the special attack for them and always come out ahead. I play strategically and watch what my opponent does if they are spamming special moves fighting me they are going to die and I know I'm not fighting a real player special a "Button Masher.":D

 

I can see what you are saying, because of this there are to many people spamming moves into crowds of fighters and it is just silly; however, KOTOR is a Sp game so a JKA fight style I don't think would hurt it. I'm still buying it, but wouldn't mined a more real time mod if possible; though, most likely it wont be. I like having control not giving commands though. :(

Now that I have KOTOR for PC, the differences in combat are so drastic, I don't see how they can really be compared. JA is FPS all the way, and KOTOR is nothing like that at all. It the difference between all nor almost no control over individual moves.
