...to when Lucasarts was a good company. Today, Lucasarts is nothing but a greedy company that cares nothing about its customers, and I can't same I'm impressed with George Lucas these days either.
But anyway, when Jedi Outcast hit stores Lucasarts was the best gaming company in existance. They had a NICE CEO, unlike the one they have now. One who actually CARED about us gamers.
I'm sorry, I'm really ranting here.
In Jedi Outcast, the 2nd best game in history second only to KOTOR, you play an ex-Jedi named Kyle Katarn. The story takes place about 10 years or so after Return of the Jedi and Kyle Katarn (you) have given up your lightsaber and Force powers in fear of falling to the Dark Side. But the Republic needs you, so you must train to become a Jedi again and face your destiny.
There are many interesting and cool characters in the game, like the fat Rodian garbage collector Reelo Baruk and your companion Jan Ors. Not to mention the master of the Sith Desann and his app!
rentice Tavion.
Also, the multiplayer mode is FANTASTIC!!! The only problem is, no one is ever playing. I play by myself with AI bots and its still really fun!!! You can be stormtroopers with lightsabers!!!
The single player is amazing, too. The storyline is somewhat confusing but interesting all the same. The graphics are pretty impressive for a 2002 game and the combat system is nicely done. I love slashing the arms of of stormtroopers. What fun.
Yes, its true you only use a blue single-bladed lightsaber in the game. BUT NEVER FEAR. I have discovered a cheat to change your blade color:
First, hold SHIFT and hit ` located to the left of the 1 key. This will bring up the console. Type "devmapall" (no quotes) and hit enter. Next type "sabercolor x" where X is what color your saber can be. Here are the colors: orange, yellow, red, blue, green, and purple.
Enjoy that one!
While cheating, always do "devmapall" first. It enables the cheats.
My all-time favorite cheat is !
"g_saberrealisticcombat 3" I won't tell you what it does. Find!
out for
yourself by killing an enemy. But its funny. (Don't worry it doesn't crash the game I wouldn't do that to you)
I first discovered the wonders of Outcast when I played it at my cousins house. We sat there for hours having fun and screwing with the cheats.
And that's also really cool: cheating does not mess up the game in any way, shape, or form unlike many other games. In other games, you cheat, it has a price. Usually an expensive one. In Outcast, you cheat, its FREE!!!
There is one problem I have with this game and that is the glitches. There aren't many that affect gameplay but sometimes the walls are flashing and it gets sorta annoying. My cousin who has beaten the game at least 10 times has discovered many glitches, including a room where Tavion is standing and you can walk through her, a room filled with lights contained three floating AT-STs, and even a room with mountains painted on the ceiling (I actually found the last one). But its kind of fun, discovering the!
se weird rooms. There are quite a lot of them!
Wow, just writing this makes me want to play the game! I'm gonna go play it!
I remember when Outcast was $49.99. Now, the price has gone down $40.00!! NOWS YOUR CHANCE!!! BUY THIS GAME!!! CustomerReview by amazon
