Heck, I grew up with the game, and the controls are the main reason I don't have it installed right now. Dark Forces made you use the pgup and pgdn keys on the keyboard instead, and I can't imagine someone who didn't play it when it was new putting up with that today. With the ones I have played, I'd say the games themselves are of equivalent quality to one another, but Jedi Knight is much easier to get into for modern gamers, because it actually supports mouselook. Among the best to grace the PC is the Jedi Knight series, the last in its line being Raven's Jedi Academy. No matter what may happen to Star Wars, we'll always have lightsabers. In this mod you will relive the most famous duels from star wars episode 1, 2. Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior. OT: I haven't actually played anything past the original Jedi Knight, so I can't say what's the best out of the series. This mod from Wector is a single player Jedi Academy: Total Conversion. If Lucius ever finishes DarkXL, that will be fixed, but he's been in Alpha for a couple of years now. Dark Forces would hold up today too, but it was one of the first games to ever use looking up and down, and it doesn't support mouselook, so the controls are really clunky by today's standards. There's even a mod for Jedi Knight that upgrades the models and textures to the standard of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, although the modding community couldn't upgrade the Sith engine itself to the standard of the Idtech III engine, so the lighting and so on don't look as nice as the later games. HOWTO Enhance Jedi Academy's graphics Post by Trin Oniron Tue 10:04 am It is not a secret that JKA's graphics, despite their quality, are a bit old but there is a solution to had a peace of modern effects to it. You should go ahead and at least play Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith, as they hold up as good games even today.

Mysteries of the Sith was actually an expansion pack to Jedi Knight, not a standalone game.
