You all think you're unlucky?Wait 'till you see this!

1.A high drop from 2nd to 15th,due to unfair and inefficient counting.Now what?You take the call.

2.I MAY get JO on this Friday or even today,or worse still,later.But I won't be able to play it!Not until May,when I collect it!

3.So think about others before you say anything.Thank you,'nuff said.

Wooo! I woke up extra early today and went and bought the game.

 

I played single player for a bit and to be honest I was a lil disappointed. The usual flicking switches for no reason issue.

 

I then played a bit of bot filled MP. I was very dis-appointed with the saber system... UNTIL! I whacked the bot AI up to Jedi Master and had a lil play on dual mode and got to test out all the stances and stuff 1 v 1...

 

IT FRICKIN ROCKS!

 

I was having superb saber duels which looked like they were straight out of the film. Seriously, the only way to get damn intense duals is to have the bots on full difficulty. I havn't played online yet due to my crappy 56k.. I can definately see how difficult this is going to be to play online. The duals are sooo quick, you timing has to be damn perfect and you NEED to think about what you are going to do next and what your opponent is going to do next.

 

It is great...

I got mine yesturday after work. I actually pre-ordered it through ebgames.com, but when I found out that there were two copies left at my local EB store (Tyson's Corner, VA), I rushed out and got one! My plan is to use my EB store reciept to return the one I'm having delivered through ebgames.com. If it doesn't work (and it has in the past), it was totally worth spending an extra $50 just for those few hours I spent playing!

Got mine at 10:30 this morning in Florida, yeah got the collectors edition with the full version of Dark Forces and my LIGHTSABER...which btw is pretty cool.

 

Installed w/o a hitch and loads pretty fast...foruntately I read the topic on load times and adjust my settings.

 

Single player is quite cool, not too far in it at all but still nice.

 

Played multi for a bit.....yep I gotta learn the saber.

 

One annoying thing is that in MP games where all the weapons are avaliable, what is the point of even using another weapon besides the saber and force powers? It seems every game I tried EVERYONE had sabers and tossing force powers around like candy....rather annoying.......I though all the weapons were suppose to be balanced but it seems that someone with a saber and force powers simply owns the poor guy using a regular weapon.

OK its out in L.A., EB store at Pico.

 

Heres a mini review of what i like and i dont so far:

 

So far i love:

 

-the story so far

-fantastic voice-overs. Lukes voice is perfect even tho it wasnt Mark h. himself.

-lightsaber combat rules, nuff said. The saberlock is too cool and very cinematic

-the models are amazing. Animations are superb!

-good choice of music so far

-Yavin was really cool. I got chills watching the Jedis saber trainning. Very, very cool.

-the ingame cimematics are well done.

-its star wars ;)

 

now here what i dont like. Keep in mind that im not bashing anyhing but any game is hardly perfect and i want to voice my opinion, being a huge fan,ok? ;)

 

- The level design:

 

I mean. urg. Is this Raven?? What happend here? Yavin was cool. Some of the first mission outdoors scene were cool but for most of the time i feel like being in a 'box' room with crates. Theres zero detail. Why is that? I mean sure keep the poly count low but this is 2002. And yes im a total graphics whore. So bite me.

It just feels all blocky to me. YOu cant comare the games but RTCW had way more detail in some of the levels. Also some of the textures are so off. Just feel cheap. Raven can do better. Heretic 2's level design was fantastic. And that was q2 engine.

 

Example, the game FAKK2 is 2 years old. Pick it up from the bargin bin and check out the detail in the levels and textures.

 

- Atmosphere:

 

The game does feel like SW of course but there is a serious lack of lighting/mood in the game. I know that was never the strength of the q3 tech but looking at some of the UT2003 level shots, i really want more moody scenes.

 

 

- single player gameplay

 

Ok so i know i shouldve not expect too much. But besides bots (jen, lando, luke) helping you out now, where's the innovation here? Besides the saber combat theres nothing new. Still good tho.

 

-MP levels: urg. Again. I dont like any of the MP maps besides the bespin map. See my crying about the level design above.

 

Overall i say Raven did a good job but i can see the quick development cycle, theres no doubt about it.

 

Maybe a JKO2 with the Doom3 tech and 2 years in dev will bring something better.

 

Cant rate it yet since i havent finished it.

Hey Chawman, I was going to say the EXACT same thing but you said it for me! I also went home from work at lunch and found JK2 on my doorstep.
