OK im a big fan of SW games
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I & II vs
Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
Anyone here play these games?
I got both SWKotOR 1 and 2 but im wondering is SW JK Jedi Academy anygood? and is it
worth buying?
And this is the BIG question anyone know if there is going to be a 3rd SWKotOR?
In order of favorite, SWKotOR, SWJKJA, SWKotOR2.
I really loved the plot in KotOR, IMHO it is far better than any plot in the 3 prequeal Star Wars movies. I loved the concept of the "Star Forge", and I especially loved the "plot twist". For me, it was as close to "living" a great Star Wars movie we're likely to get.

Great characters and a cool bad guy (Malek).
Jedi Acedemy is a 3D shooter though, not a role playing game, but I really liked it as well. I almost never used my guns. Lightsabre and force powers are the way to go. I especially loved using force choke to grab a guy, swing him over the edge of a cliff, then drop him. Bwhahaha!
Both those game might be in my top 10 games of all time. JA might be showing it's age by now though. Graphically, I suspect it looks fairly weak by now. All I know is I really loved it at the time. I think the game I played after it was COD actually, and that because another of my all-time favorites (obviously!).
KotOR2 I enjoyed, but not quite as much because Kreia (?) annoyed the hell out of me. A one-handed old woman I guess wasn't my idea of a "cool" character, and she was so central you couldn't avoid her! I still enjoyed the game for the other characters though, and Darth Nilius (sp?) was pretty neat, as well as the half-dead guy (foget his name). I actually played this game through twice as light side and then as dark side. It was neat how some of the missions changed somewhat. I preferred being light side. However, the neat thing about being darkside is not only do your looks change for the worse, but also you companions. Me, Visas and the Handmaiden made for a fairly evil looking brood by the end.
Anyway, nice topic Bark. Definately, some of my favorite all-time games. Take plot elements and character from KotOR 1 and 2 and weave it into a new movie and I think you'd have the best Star Wars movie in a long time. Oh, and let the guy who directed LoTR direct it! OK, I'm dreaming.
