i like it so far but the main game and this suffer from hard-to-see buttons, due to the game's aged graphics, making it frustrating to progress
i dont even have words to explain how garbage this game is. this game needs to be studied. how can it have the same problems of dark forces 2 like being the most poorly made game on earth and not running on any computer made after the 1990s but then not have the good parts of it like a good story and decent gameplay. this games story is so trash and the level design is disgusting. this might be the darkest game ever created. every level is pitch black and you will be stumbling around trying to figure out how to get to the next place until you find online that you had to use a specific force ability on a random statue to open a secret door. you will have to become a game developer with a phd and search all day to find what files you need to get the game to run just to finally get to play the worst jedi knight game in the series. mods dont help btw. openjkdf2 is useless.
.
5/10, 6 hours maybe unfortunately I needed to consult guides multiple times for this. The reason for this is poor level design. There were multiple instances where new "game mechanics" were needed without any effective introduction. For instance, I did not even know how to control the scope or what I had even picked up since I missed what it said I obtained. Once I managed to get out of it I didn't know how to get it back or where to use it. Most notable mention, why the hell would I ever hold interact and walk into a wall underwater?
Game is dark as shit I had to spam force sight or boost gamma. This is not nearly as good as the previous game. Enemies became much more difficult in the last two levels. Thank you to the modders for making the graphics tolerable although I could not get it to launch through steam. The split between Mara and Kyle is not ideal because it inhibits upgrades. It is a good idea though.
Secret level is kinda trash and "mysteries of the sith" I have no idea what the hell those were because only the last level has anything to do with that.
I wish there was a remastered of this game. if you know the Star Wars legends comics or other similar products, then probably you'll like this game. actually if you like star wars then all star wars games are good for you. Besides, there is no problem except that the attack and movement controls in the game are a bit complicated and a bit difficult due to the age of the game.
In 1998 Lucas Arts decided to release a game, where you can literally stuck in the dead end in last level if you will go in wrong direction. In 1998, the same year that saw releases of such FPS classics as Half-Life, Sin and Unreal. Game design and level design in this game is a massive step back even in comparison with original Dark Forces II. Sure, original game had some quirks with its maps, but overall it was a pleasant classic Star Wars experience. This game... this game isnt. Dont be fooled by its title, its not a Jedi Knight, its a Lab Rat the game.
As a kid there were 2 places where i saw and played the demo for this expansion. Always wanted it but didnt get it until this purchase and sad to say but in 2024 this is not a fun experience to playthrough, im not even done with it but the level design feels even more obtuse than the base game, I had to mod it to get decent visual fidelity but it still cuts away to low res in engine cutscenes, maybe im bitter because i preferred the live action. I cant fully pin down what i dont really like about this, DF 2 was very nostalgic and maybe why my recent playthrough wasnt too bad, i dont have that here i more problems just appear more prominently.
Maybe once i finish they game i might re evaluate but I certainly dont find myself rushing back to this one.
This expansion has some good ideas but overall less interesting that the main game, I think the curious minds will appreciate what it has to offer but don't hesitate to use cheats when you feel the game is too hard, the last levels has some pretty boring enemies and if you don't acquire the right force powers that are useful against them, you will struggle... Also the level design has some derpy confusing moments...
How To Play
Firstly, reviews are mixed because Lucas Arts released these games in an unacceptable state, they don't work on a lot of PCs. SO... Use the OpenJKDF2 source port to run these games, easy drag and drop install, they run flawlessly using OpenGL with updated graphical additions like SSAO and Widescreen and many other fixes. find it here https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2
Review
Classic Post Trilogy Story
As I said with Jedi Knight, this pair of games is my favorite in the Dark Forces series, but also possibly my favorite Star Wars games in general. With the disappointing Disney Trilogy, I think a lot of classic SW fans will find a lot to love about this series. As someone who has no real interest in reading the extended universe books, the Dark Forces series is an awesome window into the original story line, post original trilogy. We get to see the state of the galaxy, Dark Jedi, Imperial Remnant, the new Republic and Jedi Orders, etc.
Expansion Done Right
Mysteries of the Sith is a fantastic addition to the original game, being roughly the same length, and featuring an interesting story starring Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade. It is not just some throw away expansion, it has a ton of new weapons, all new assets and levels, new force powers, and a story that bridges the gap between JK 1 and JK 2 Jedi Outcast. Don't skip it, if you enjoyed Jedi Knight, MOTS is 100% a must play.
Mysteries of the Sith is basically a whole new game built in the same engine, similar to what Lucas Arts later did with Jedi Academy being built on Jedi Outcast's engine. I would go so far as to say that MOTS is superior, it has more intricate level designs, more interesting locations to visit, and more story and characters to interact with. JK is more about facing down the Dark Jedi and fighting Imperial Remnant, classic Star Wars fare. MOTS, while it does start out that way, quickly evolves into a really fun smuggler style story line. There is certainly more variety here and I really can't overstate how much of a step up the locations you visit are from those in the base game. MOTS, at the time, had some of the best level design in the entire FPS genre, and by today's standards it's still impressive. it's kinda the peak of that intricate exploratory FPS level design that began with DOOM but fell out of popularity once an entire FPS campaign could be one seamless experience, like Half-Life.
Cons
The one thing MOTS does lack is the FMV cutscenes that are so much fun in Jedi Knight. In it's place we just have traditional 3D model cutscenes, but they are still very well done. When you see how the story progresses, it would have been much more ambitious and expensive to film this expansions cutscenes in live action than it was for Jedi Knight.
'Mysteries of the Sith' is to 'Jedi Knight' as 'DOOM 2' is to 'DOOM'.
Mods
There is also a remaster project available for both games, personally I think the game looks better with the original models and unfiltered pixel textures, but to some people it would be considered an improvement.
These games do also benefit greatly from a few reshade filters: bloom, raytracing, ambient light, godrays, etc, just to spice up the lighting really.
