Where it Shines:
Lightsaber Battles - 10/10
Nostalgia - 10/10
The Good:
This game, in it's hayday, was an incomparable experience. If you ever wanted to know what it felt like to be a Jedi, this was the game. All thanks to the online play and very well balanced and nuanced lightsaber dueling system, this game made me feel like a Jedi. If you never had the pleasure of playing this when it came out, it basically was go online>get your ass kicked> join a clan> become a padawan and train under a jedi master>become a jedi master>train a padawan.
If you were a part of any half decent clan, you would play in tournaments, have constant duels in your servers, train, and just all around have a great time.
The Bad:
I mean, it hasn't aged well. The campaign probably is still fun, but the game is a ghost town as it's been 25 years since it came out. All the servers are basically dead and filled with bots.
Summary:
If you could enter a time machine and play this game in the early 2000's you'd understand just how amazing and unique and experience it was to play. No other SW game has ever managed to recreate that feeling, except for it's sequel. It's not worth playing today, but it remains one of my favourite games of all time and has a special place in my heart.
****note on my ratings:
half ⭐: hot trash garbage
⭐: below average, needs work
⭐⭐: average
⭐⭐⭐: pretty good
⭐⭐⭐⭐: excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: all time favourite
half star ratings between those mean it's slightly better or worse than stated in this list.
