In terms of controls, port specialist Aspyr has done its best to вЂmoderniseвЂ™ a game that did feel quite clunky and imprecise, especially when it came to the focal lightsaber combat. You can choose to follow the Dark Side or the Light, and your choices will affect the gameвЂ™s ending in true Jedi Knight fashion.

The plot itself isnвЂ™t the best the series has ever achieved (Jedi KnightвЂ™s wonderfully corny FMV scenes will forever wear that crown), but it does feature a huge variety of levels, many of which offer more than one way to approach a mission. While not being able to play as series antihero Kyle Katarn is still a bit a letdown after so many years battling the Sith (or joining them, depending on your Force persuasions), having the opportunity to play as a brand new character does make more sense as you, Luke and co head out into the galaxy to uncover a new Sith plot while fighting off the ever-present Imperial Remnant. ItвЂ™s a simple RPG addition, but it immediately helps Jedi Academy feel a little more personable back when multiplayer gaming and online avatars were becoming more and more prevalent. You can even start off by customising the look of your lightsaber and the colour of its blade. So instead of a gruff, beardy human, you can select from a number of different species, genders and outfits. Unlike the previous games, the customisation of online and local play influenced the core story, trading series antihero Kyle Katarn for a fresh Force-sensitive progeny. That mode is fully present on Switch, but before we get into that feature, letвЂ™s take a look at the campaign.

ThatвЂ™s right вЂ“ Jedi Academy proved to be a real treat both on PC and the original Xbox (back when Xbox Live was still a bright young thing) with its own support for multiplayer. Much like Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy benefits from improved visuals, modernised controls (including motion, naturally) and support for online multiplayer. The Jedi Knight franchise (and its more traditional FPS progenitor, Dark Forces) was one such bountiful series, culminating in the expansive and varied action-adventure, Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy in 2003.ДЇast-forward 17 years and the journey of young padawan Jaden Korr has been ported over to Nintendo Switch, following in the footsteps of the gameвЂ™s direct predecessor, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. And while that did mean we were вЂtreatedвЂ™ to the likes of Star Wars: Demolition and Kinect Star Wars, it also meant the long-defunct LucasArts produced some of the best genre-crossing gems of the вЂ90s and the вЂ00s. Years ago, when the Star Wars franchise wasnвЂ™t under the world-dominating scrutiny of the House of Mouse, developers were farming out all games like no oneвЂ™s business.
