Jedi Knight. Jedi Knight. Jedi Knight.

Oh, And MotS.

 

Thats about it i think...

(unless you want Tie Fighter Collector's series & Maybe Xwing Alliance. No lightsabers in those.)

Yeah, same as PS.

 

I don't know what the system reqs are for it, but Knights of the Old Republic I and II are great. KotOR 1 is my favorite game ever, and KotOR II is not far behind it. But like I said, it might be beyond your system specs if it's a really low-end computer.

Dark Forces! I can't believe someone didn't mention that already.

TIE Fighter is great;

Yoda Stories is good for wasting time;

Rogue Squadron 3D is fun;

And the much maligned Force Commander, if you can stomach unmappable controls. :p

Jedi outcast will run on that system at the very lowest settings, but can get pretty choppy in huge areas. Even so, just look at your feet in the big areas, and the fps stay relatively decent. Not great, but playable on a P2.

 

Other than that, Ep1 Racer is an excellent game. As is Rogue Squadron, X-wing Alliance, and Dark Forces.

 

For lightsaber play, JK, MOTS, and Jedi Outcast (iffy) are your best, if not only bets.

Rogue squadron is excellent fun if your 3d card is compatible. Nowhere near as good a game as Tie Fighter.. but easier and good fun.

 

There are loads of extra levels/mods for JK. I think there was even a Dark Forces total conversion.

 

Rebellion/Supremacy would run... its not a great game, and not action.. but it has its moments if you have enough patience.

 

Avoid Episode 1 - its awful.. never trust sabertooth. ;)

If JK2 could run, what about Jedi Academy?

 

For Jedi Academy, they upped the graphics a bit, and "heavily modified" the Quake 3 engine. So, where it was iffy for JO, I'd say it would be more iffy for JA.

JO didn't run well on my first PC with similar specs. Don't bother. Heck, I had trouble on my last computer which had decent specs. My current one I can have everything maxed out no problem :cool:

 

Stop posting threads about SW games. Save your money. Buy an xbox, or a new compy. \o/

 

Yeah. I did that for KotOR because, like I said, I was in your boat a few years back. FPS are pretty decent on it with the analogue sticks too but I'll admit mouse/ keyboard can't be beat. You won't be needing to do any headshots or anything nor do you really need to rely on guns as much as you do your saber and powers. It's not really a big deal with the JK series.

 

And XWA pretty much is one of the best SW games to date in terms of story. I give it a 9/10 due to the lack of closure. Still, the voices and characters are all top notch. The cutscenes with ships are impressive to this day. God I need a joystick so I can play it again :D

 

EDIT - WAIT! You don't have DF? Heck, having a low end computer is a great thing if you wanna play that game. Really, it's cool and cheap. No lightsaber or force powers for Kyle yet, but tons of stormies and aliens to mow down with the coolest guns in the whole series (The Concussion Rifle!!!)

You're kidding right? on my 667Mhz with 512Mb RAM and a 32Mb GeForce2 the Yavin Swamp levels Killed the frame rate and made it unplayable. I had to wait till I got my new laptop to finish the game.

Ditto about the Yavin Swamps. I cheated to 'beat it' on my last PC. I couldn't take a few steps without it locking up and getting me shot to bantha fodder. Wait for the console version or new PC before you waste your money on it.

 

Shadows of the Empire for PC.

 

I liked TPM more than that game. SotE is a so-so story with so-so characters and the game is a so-so attempt to adapt that already so-so story making it a crappy game. The action figures are among my favorites though! :D

 

Racer was cool. I don't think it'd hold up for me today. You're better off with some classic NFS installments (1, 3, & 4 are the best). And this of course demonstrates not all great games are Star Wars games.
