STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

Reviviendo un clásico... aunque para que funcione con aceleración 3D en equipos modernos hace falta consultar las notas de la comunidad! Totalmente recomendable si te gusta el tufillo a los primeros juegos 3D que distan del fotorealismo actual.

It's a good game with choices and challenges that keep you coming back for more.

Modern PCs, this game fears. Glitchy, the textures are. Squashed and crunched, the screen becomes. Work properly, only the sounds, music, and menus do!!! Into a virtual machine, put the game I did. For a few minutes, alive it was… then BLUE SCREENED, it did. Ancient computer, tried I also. Play the game, the fossil machine would not. Kick me out nonstop, it does. A game this cursed, seen I have not since the Clone Wars.

Follow the Dark Side..... It is the way!

Buen Juego

Surpisingly fun game that can be completed quickly and almost with no trouble, something that I didn't expect considering it's age and the shabbiness of predecessor. [i][b]The gameplay's[/b][/i] very enjoyable: enemies walk around and can close distance when needed during the firefight, they are not a stationary target and possess good enough accuracy, but at the same time it doesn't take much effort to take them down, for the main character is just as mobile and the weapons have a very tangible punch, making short work of any targets. Movement, by the way, feels very pleasant, there is inertia and a bit of sliding to it but at the same time a huge amount of control, and so it feels very natural. The only weird part of the gameplay is connected to the lightsaber: it's a weapon of immense power yet there is absolutely no grace in how main character uses it, swinging such an elegant weapon like a club and sometimes missing targets right in front for no apparent reason, as well as sometimes deciding to not deflect blaster fire. 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 silly and seemingly confused opponent until he dies. Nonetheless, it's pretty fun to be an unstoppable menace that's able to kill most enemies in matter of moments, if they are close enough. Force powers make their first appearance in the series here and are extremely simple, acting as buffs for the player or harming effects for enemies, depending on which side of the Force main character is aligned with. They are a fine addition to the arsenal and add to the overall fun, even though they aren't all that impressive. [i][b]Level design[/b][/i] is wonderful: there are many details and colours, each location is unique and most of the times it's easy to understand where exactly you need to go, and the level of graphical fidelity of surroundings is mindblowing for such an old game. They are a joy to the eye and follow the style of Star Wars universe well. My only gripe with them is connected to the secrets: they are numerous and extremely, annoyingly difficult to find, or at least that was the case in my experience. [i][b]Performance and stability[/b][/i] are questionable, for high frame rate breaks some animations. Game's FPS has to be manually locked around the values from 30 through 48 (depends on monitor's refresh rate) to avoid visual glitches. Other than that, the game works flawlessly and even supports modern resolutions, with the only exception being the in-game ui (health and ammo indicators) which doesn't scale and can become extremely small on some systems. [i][b]Plot[/b][/i] is as simple as it gets, but is more than just a filler like it was in first Dark Forces. It is enjoyable, because it follows the original Star Wars formula and is supplemented with cutscenes with slightly goofy real life acting set in bearable CGI environment. Overall, Dark Forces II is a short and pleasant adventure with few downsides that can be easily enjoyed by a fan of Star Wars or a gamer who is curious about oldschool games.

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

Předchůdce téměř dokonalé hry Jedi Outcast, který sdílí parádní univerzum, famózní soundtrack a spolupráci Kylea Katarna a Jan Ors. Příběhově je na stejné úrovni, ale graficky a herně zestárnul celkem mizerně. Spousta zbytečného bloudění mapou je asi poplatná době. Ale hodně práce mě dalo jen nastavení ovládání. Ten kdo překousne nástrahy skoro 30 let staré hry, dostane parádní příběh z původní trilogie hvězdných válek a jednu z nejlepších her tohoto univerza. Nejsem fanda všemožných remaků, ale tento kousek by si to zasloužil jako sůl. KLADY: fantastický soundtrack pravé hvězdné války parádní atmosféra slušný příběh ZÁPORY: obstaróžní grafika spousta práce s nastavením ovládání občas frustrující

Classic
