Well, Steve, you know what they say about lightsabres (shut up Firefox, lightsabres is so a word =I): the more the merrier. That's why Grevious and Darth Maul were so awesome.
Duel wield all the way. B)
But, on-topic: This game is for the Wii, yes? For that reason alone, I won't be getting it. I want a Wii, but I have a deformity in my right hand that makes my thumb not work like a thumb, so I can't use the Wii controller. =c

I've lost around 400 hours of my life to Jedi Knight 2's online multiplayer. Why can't they recapture the magic!?
Haven't played TFU 1, but both games look fairly interesting. They also look like they could be better. That's not the point here though.
I really have to point this out. In the first game, he reverse-grips his lightsaber. That's all fine and well. Now that the sequel comes out, not only does he use reverse-grip, he does it with two lightsabers! How is that practical and who thought that was a good idea?

A little tidbit of Star Wars geekery: Starkiller was originally intended to be Luke's last name in the original movie, but for some reason they changed it Skywalker because it didn't sound as evil, or something.Fabian Stetter said:
The best part of jedi outcast, was your lightsaber really felt like a lightsaber. It could kill enemies just by touching them, including teamates. And when you actually swung, assuming you have saberrealistticombat on, you'll cut them to pieces. Way better than force unleashed. I dont understand why people prefer jedi academy over jedi outcast. I guess its becuase you start with the saber, but frankly, I like the story of outcast better.
Yeah he'd do a good job. he looks enough like him, and he can be humorous, just like kyle.Nekros22 said:
Is it just me or was alot of the footage in this review lagging and had weirdly low quality visuals?
I played the demo and I don't remember the bump mapping, lighting and effects looking that bad.
Its almost like they recorded it from the pc version and had it not only running on a machine that couldn't handle it but with all the settings set low as well.

I played the demo, I enjoyed it but one thing that got on my nerves was the split second freeze frame every time you make contact with an enemy using the lightsaber, I found that so annoying, am I the only one who noticed this?
I don't particularly have a problem with double lightsabre's, but it would have been better to offer the player a choice, double or single, like jedi academy did.
Also, when doing the video supplement... is it possible to use more then one tone? Even when the words used were about excitement, the reviewer still seemed bored. Maybe because he was bored with the game but it just sounded off. A sure way to get your audience to nod off is to just drone on. Which is how the video felt.

I'm enjoying this game, one thing in the review though, Darth Maul did not Duel Wield lightsabres! His was a Pole-arm, a double headed light bill-hook if you will!
I am not a sci-fi guy but I know my ancient weaponry!

The character isn't very relate-able, the game is really short and really it's just not a very good star wars game. I didn't expect much out of this being the first one wasn't that great either but this was still a pretty big downgrade. Along with this the replay value is almost nonexistent since the only motivation you have to go through it again is to try it on a harder difficulty or get all the collectibles. Thus you have no control over the story other than an ending which just adds to the repetitive experience.
