I ended up using trip mine after trip mine and staying behind the small service door in the little hallway that led out into the hangar proper to win that one and found myself /very/ bored with the process.

This is something to especially consider when you get to the final level where that last-boss enemy up pounding on you with his fighting suit in a largely featureless hangar. If nothing else, an ability to hang from a box and then 'chin up' scrabble atop it would be appreciated for non combat conditions.ДЄ possible approach would be to have Kyle's walking pace be the slow jog we see now and then, as a function of some kind of power augmented boots, have his shift-speed be closer to that of a real sprint with combo moves possible for leaps. Particularly the time limited stuff like the sewer gates and the ruins of the town where there are several should-be-reachable-but-can't balconies. jeeze.ДЄnd the better he can jump, the more variety you can add to the 'how the game gets done' elements of 'physical puzzling'. Mind you, he doesn't have to do acrobatics like a Jedi but. The first is fixed with a proper mouse POV-drive (thank goodness) but the latter is still the same ol' story of sissy 'tuck my knees and bunny hop' nonsense that makes Kyle look like a girl while jumping all of 1-2ft up, tops. In fact, it's actually been so long since I played it (my buy-it deciding demo was in DOS if that helps any) that about the only things I remember were the fixed-key view elevation system needed to shoot threats above you and the incredibly poor leaping skills of my character in negotiating seemingly simple vertical obstacles. However 90+% of the enjoyment factor has less to do with recall of the original than a sense of 'new' (quality work) experience and in that I think you should continue to expand rather than try to stay totally authentic to the first DF. It's just too good, and I can't wait to see this project fully completed. This whole entity deserves nothing less than a perfect ten, in spite of the flaws that may exist. It's so refreshing to hear that classic 'Objective completed' chime, and the immortal 'ugh' noise made by the stormtroopers. I also enjoyed the various elements that they actually included from Jedi Knight(!!!).

For the first time ever we get to see an awesome Moldy Crow in the JA engine, along with all-new internal weapon models and the likes of HapSlash's amazing Darth Vader and General Mohc in a full ROQ cutscene. The modeling work here is also top-notch. (probably because it was written to do so by the original DF team.) On the flip-side, however, it actually fits into the gameplay better than sticking in a pieced-together Williams score as Raven did. No matter how good your midi synthesizer is, it's never going to match that. The only place it manages to suffer is when it tries to do John Williams pieces.

The sound track is also very high quality. The actors chosen even do a decent job of impersonating the original DF cast. There are also new voice-overs to complement the added detail, and they are probably the only ones for a Jedi Academy addon in existence that actually sound GOOD. (not to mention resource-hogging in all its' detail.) I'm not kidding you when I say that it gives you a much better idea of the incredible destructive power of the Dark Troopers. and huge, sticky piles of sewage.Д«ut what benefits the most from this creative overhaul is Tak Base. The Secret Base level is much better looking, especially the rocky terrain outside, and the sewers in Anoat look positively slimy, full of detail beams and struts. Wheras the first demo pretty much made a verbatim copy of the original Dark Forces level architecture, this one goes way beyond it and adds a lot of new and interesting detail. It's also way cooler than the previous demo for Jedi Outcast. This project has singlehandedly revived my faith in the idea that single player campaigns in Jedi Academy are actually worth doing.
