A Much Improved Single Player Campaignįor a start, the single player story campaign is leagues better than what was seen previously in Jedi Outcast. So therefore a caveat applies if you can look past the dated presentation you’ll find a superb Star Wars title and one that despite the intervening years, has in all other aspects aged rather beautifully.

Originally released all the way back in 2003 and coming just one year after Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy continued to use the same Quake III engine tech as its predecessor, and though it looked marginally better as a result, the game hardly blew the house down when it came to delivering a mind-blowing visual experience.īefore you even kick off the epic campaign, Jedi Academy lets you customize your Force user in a number of different ways.Īs a direct result then, the port to PS4 is hardly mind-blowing either.
