Who has All the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games? Please tell me which one is the best and why? I only have the first one for Playstation.

Here is the list.
1.)Dark Forces
2.)Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
3.)Jedi Knight: Mystries of the Sith
4.)Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast
5.)Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Oh, and can someone please explain to me why everyone always says that the original (meaning first) one is Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight when it clearly isn't. And how come everyone keeps saying that Jedi Academy is the 3rd game when it's obviously the 5th game?

Thanx

I don't have them all, unfortunately, but I do have Jedi Knight, Outcast, Academy, the Soldier for the Empire audio drama, and the Rebel Agent hardcover. I'd love to get my hands on Dark Forces and Mysteries of the Sith, however.

I'd personally say that Jedi Academy is actually the 4th game in the series, not counting Sith due to its expansion pack nature.

Outcast and Dark Forces II rule. They are the best not only in the gameplay itself but also in soryline.
Dark Forces is not bad for beginning of Kyle Katran's adventures. Mysteries of the Sith is pretty good for an expansion of game of the year. Jedi Academy is the worst and most dissapointing. Storyline is not that rich, and however the graphics and gameplay has little difference from the Outcast. The only thing I need is Mysteries of the Sith cutscenes, I am impressed of storyline in Dark Forces saga. But I want Jedi Knight 4 the most. Any Comments, Questions!?

"Mysteries Of The Sith" wasn't a stand alone game, but an expansion pack to "Jedi Knight". And after "Jedi Knight" came out, it pretty much ceased to be the Dark Forces series and became the Jedi Knight series. Most people dismiss Dark Forces because it's basically Doom set in the Star Wars universe, while Jedi Knight was something different, given that you had a light saber this time and learned how to use the force.

I don't have "Dark Forces" anymore, but if I wanted to play, I'm sure I could download it off the internet somewhere. I personally think the first "Jedi Knight" was the best out of the series because it was so innovative and just playing it brings back all these memories for me.

I own all of them. They are all very fun, and incredibly challenging due to the *beep* puzzles(except Academy, which achieved proper balance). You should try all of them, especially if you liked Dark Forces.. They are all cheap and bring their own interesting charm to the table. If you want them to last though, stick with Outcast/Academy, since those still have people online, unlike JK and MOTS.

I have all of the games but haven't played Academy yet, MoS was just an expansion pack but at least you had a lightsabre right from the start.

I agree that the original Dark Forces game was simply a generic FPS with Star Wars wallpaper and has not aged very well however back when it was released the combo of the music and Star Wars imagery along with a chance to shoot stormtroopers was terrific. DF2 was the first chance you had to wield a lightsabre and use force powers which was just fantastic, it still plays well but looks a bit iffy now but I can forgive that considering its age.

Outcast is my current favourite, I found the sabre combat absolutely thrilling and at one point I had three newborn attacking me, it took a few attempts but it was such a thrill to defeat them. Bloody marvellous, in fact I just might play it again!

In my opinion, Jedi Outcast is the best overall, BUT Jedi Knight is my favorite. Due to how easy it was to make mods and skins for the game and the huge number of them out there, there was a lot more replay value in Jedi Knight for me.

Jedi Outcast and Academy have the best lightsaber combat. Jedi Knight has the best story. But my favorite is Academy.
