Is this a 3rd person game?

your friend is soooo wrong.. jedi academy is literally jedi knight 2 with dif maps and LESS weapons.. and ALL of the weapons are the same total crap and waste of money if you ask me

lol, i dont know where you got that info, more force powers, 3 diff light saber styles, as well as single, dual, and the darth maul style staff saber. they left the same weapons in of course added one or two things iirc... but.. who uses weapons?! and this time you START with the light saber! theres tons more to list, but i wont. I've already given a buddy of mine who works at a software store $60 so he can get it the day it goes on sale:)

wow dual light sabre, oh wait they already had that in a mod for jedi knight 2 force powers? how long did it take them to put that in? 5mins? its seriously a pathetic attempt personally i think if they are going to focus on light sabre, at least improve the light sabre fighting... its the same as before, not very good. maybe assign some blocking keys, parry, etc

yeah i agree about the saber fighting, be neat if you could have key combo moves similar to Mortal Kombat or other fighting systems, heck give us a form of fatality, and i'd like that too:)
