They game is weird, old, and janky. It kinda breaks sometimes like during the final fight. But I find it charming.1 found this helpful
Great sequel
I like this game and will ultimately recommended it for those who enjoy star wars and classic arena shooters but geez this is in desperate need of a Nightdive remaster, out of the box you will have sorta wrangle with the settings in order for this to play right. a fresh install these days will net you the following issues - Broken color pallet - Your first person animations will be way faster then what it should - Hud doesnt scale with your resolution - Higher resolutions will break your mouse controls as it will jerk your camera either upwards or downwards - Pause menu or worse the results screen will become black for some reason witch forces you to shut the game down completely if it doesnt sort itself out playing this otherwise great game i cant help but feel i'm driving a car with a missing wheel and a broken engine so it puffs smoke when you use it, game is inexpensive on a sale or otherwise so if your prepared to find ways to fix those issues for yourself then yeah go for it

It's also an integral tool in lightsaber duels, which are rather boring and nothing more than a process of running in circles and repeatedly hitting very si…
