  GamingWorld X - Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Review
The result was one of the most highly acclaimed titles on the PC when it was released earlier this year, and it’s fair to say that Vicarious Visions, the folks in charge of porting the title to consoles, did a fine job.
Jedi Outcast returns to the story of Kyle Katarn, the protagonist of the first two games, as he resumes his stance as a mercenary for the New Republic after having turned in his lightsaber and relinquishing his control of the Force.
The character models are quite nice, and the little weapon details such as those with the lightsabers, are quite nice; however, the game can’t shake an overwhelming dullness to the graphical presentation, something that becomes particularly evident with some of the later textures in the game.

Jedi Outcast is the most recent release in the Jedi Knight series, once again following Kyle Katarn as he returns to life as a mercenary, turning his back on the force after being seduced by the Dark Side.
Its not long though before a confrontation with a new Dark Jedi, and the uncovering of a sinister imperial plot returns Kyle to the path he was destined to take as he takes up his lightsaber again to do battle with a force that could shake the foundations of the galaxy.

 The Armchair Empire - Xbox Reviews: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast appeared on the PC about seven months before it appeared on the Xbox and for the most part it's an exact port.
Outcast puts gamers in control of Kyle Katarn who has forsaken his Jedi destiny and is working freelance as an Alliance trouble-shooter and spy.
Outcast also gives Star Wars freaks another word to add to their lexicon and roster of all-purpose swear words: “Sithspit”.

Jedi Knight 2 won’t be breaking any new ground on the Xbox, it didn’t when it was first released on the PC earlier in the year either.
If you already purchased Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on the PC then there really is no reason to get it on the Xbox, while the game is basically the same as the PC version it doesn’t quite have as good graphics or any online multiplayer aspect to it.

 Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast review for the PC
A young Jedi named Kyle Katarn was at the forefront of the battle, but it is still not clear exactly which side he fought for.
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is the next stage in the evolution of LucasArts' excellent Dark Forces series.
Though you'll have plenty of firepower at your fingertips, you're a Jedi after all, which means there are two very special weapons that you can't live without: your trusty lightsaber and the somewhat less trusty though just as useful Force.

 Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyle embarks to the Valley of the Jedi to regain his Force Powers and then to Yavin IV to retrieve his lightsaber from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
He plans to use this army to invade the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 and restore the Galactic Empire, with the aid of former Imperial admiral Galak Fyyar.
Fyyar and Desann's attack on the fledgling Jedi Praxeum was one of the first real military tests that the new Jedi Order had to face.

 Star Wars: Jedi Knight II--Jedi Outcast - GameCritics.com
Upon avenging his father's death and swearing to keep the Valley of the Jedi a secret, Katarn separates himself from the force completely in fear of turning to the Dark Side and using the Valley himself for evil.
And because he lacks official Jedi training and a pure heart, he teeters on the edge of both the light and dark side, giving him the ability to use both parallels of the force.
This game should change its subtitle from "Jedi Outcast" to " Faces of Death" because it isn't so much an interactive adventure set in the Star Wars universe as it is the most elaborate and punishing three-dimensional mousetrap ever conceived.

 Review: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast -- Gaming Voice
When a rogue Jedi kills Jan, you must forsake your forsaking of the Jedi arts, grab your trusty lightsaber, and once again pursue your enemies across the galaxy on “forceback”.
There is a Jedi Master mode which pits on lightsaber player against the rest with conventional weapons, but unless the server filters out explosives, it’s more of an example of chaos and futility.
Overall Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is one of the best FPS games I’ve played in a long time.

 Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast for PC Review - PC Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Review
Katarn has a storied past that has been well chronicled in the original Dark Forces and its sequel Jedi Knight, and fans of the series will be glad to know that his moody manner and subtle pessimism remain intact in Jedi Outcast.
The force is strong in Katarn, and he's no slouch with a lightsaber either, but after nearly falling to the dark side during the events of Jedi Knight, he's chosen to shun his Jedi ways in order to return to his life as a smuggler and mercenary for the Alliance.
Furthermore, the first levels of Jedi Outcast are practically brimming with key-hunt puzzles and platform-jumping challenges.

Jedi Outcast is proof positive that a sequel can improve upon its predecessors in almost every way imaginable.
Your game persona is Kyle Katarn, a confused former Jedi who was drawn to the Darkside and thus abandoned the Force after avenging his father's death in the Valley of the Jedi.

 Apple - Games - Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Katarn assumes the mantle of the Jedi once again, and the last remnants of the Galactic Empire, who still battle the Rebel Alliance for control of the galaxy, had better watch out.
Jedi Knight II is a 3D action game that shifts between first-person (meaning you see the action through the protagonist’s eyes) and third-person (you see yourself in the action — great for lightsaber action sequences) point of view.
The catch is that these lizard-like creatures cancel out a Jedi’s ability to use the Force, but they also keep other Jedi from using the Force on whoever is carrying them.

 The Jedi Academy- Jedi Academy Interview with Raven Software
We were very happy to see what the mod community did with Jedi Outcast, but the mods were not an influential factor in Jedi Academy’s development.
One of the main fissures in the Jedi Outcast community is between the "gamer" who's concerned with fragging and the "Star Wars fan" who's concerned with dueling, honor, and other Jedi-like concepts.
We are simply big fans of the games and the movies, and Star Wars, Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight, and content directly from the game, along with the Jedi Academy name, are their copyrights and should be credited to them and no one else.

 TechSpot | Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast review
Your main motive for returning to being a Jedi is that of revenge, not exactly a Jedi trait (and which is why it’s called Return Of The Jedi, not Revenge Of The Jedi) so it’s hard to swallow when Luke gives you the okay to carry on.
Much like Dark Forces 2 before, Jedi Outcast makes good use of wide open spaces through the game and you will find it hard to believe at times that this is the same old Quake 3 engine.
