STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast™

Many great memories attached to this game.  I remember how groundbreaking this was when it released. I used to play multiplayer splitscreen for hours on the GameCube.  As the years have gone on, this one has certainly shown its age.  However, this is still one of the best Star Wars games ever released.  I really like the mixture of gunplay and lightsaber fighting.  Kyle Katarn is a cool character in this. He's moved from a young man into a more grizzled older man that is more wise-cracking and skeptical. A bit of a smuggler, but still on the side of good and the force.  It gets a lot better once you obtain the lightsaber and get your force powers back, since the lightsaber combat is really what makes this special. It's a drastic improvement over Dark Forces II.  Your force powers grow stronger as the game progresses too.  So you gain more abilities and get a lot stronger in the force.  And it's super satisfying to throw your lightsaber and cut off a Stormtrooper's arm.  I think Desann is a visually cool villain (he's basically a talking dinosaur).  He's absolutely massive and has an awesome voice.  However, he's barely in the game, and his character development is wafer thin.  The level designs are cool.  Really interesting designs that were what made the Expanded Universe so special.  There were a few weird bugs - nothing that crashed or broke the game.  However, there was a scene where Kyle didn't have eyelids or lips... kinda scary...  Some of the enemies had parts of their faces disappear when you looked at them through scopes.  And for some reason there was no way to change the aspect ratio from widescreen to 4:3. It was stuck in what appeared to be an artificially stretched aspect ratio.
