the game Heretic 2, which can be bought anywhere for under 15 bucks, has advanced rolling, jump, and flipping features that incorporate both mouse movements with keys. It is truly very detailed, which is why i think it failed commercially. The controls are incredibly hard to adjust to, but it is alot of fun once you get the hang of it.

 

BTW it was also developed by Raven, so mabye there are some connections

and you use staffs not lightsabres eheh

I don't believe it did fail commercially...it just didn't have a high volume of sales on it's initial release. AFAIK, it was fairly successful. The problem was that a lot of other hotly anticipated games were released around the same time, so Heretic II was initially overlooked. It's an excellent game, and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it.

I'd have to totally disagree with you there. I found the controls to be extremely simple and intuitive. The range of moves was excellent at the time...and still not bettered by anything other than Oni, which had issues, and was nowhere near as enjoyable. HII is still my favourite 3rd person game (with Rune a close second), but I think JKII will probably take first place if there are as many moves and attacks incorporated as HII.

 

Rolls, flips and wall jumps should add a bit more strategy, and better options for evasion, so I think the lightsaber battles will be more intense this time around.

Yeah, Heretic II ruled !!!!

 

And wall jump is one of the coolest thing I can imagine in a action game ...
