Definitive Jedi Game November 2, 2008
J. W. Gegner (Midwest, US)
This is the best jedi experience in gaming. It's superior to Obi-Wan, to Jedi Academy 3, all the "movie games, and even the recent Force Unleashed. It's very solid in nearly every single area (design, concept, graphics, controls, gameplay, sound, visuals, replay, etc.) and gives the best feeling of the power of a jedi. Force Unleashed is a close second to me, but it was just too short and the difficulty in certain areas (vader fight pt. 3, star destroyer, shaak ti) ramped up WAY too much to continue being fluid and fun.
KOTOR games aside, this is probably the best Star Wars gaming has to offer to-date. And yes I know in KOTOR you can be a jedi, but the semi-turned-based gameplay doesn't allow for the great feeling of using the force that comes from Outcast.
I would recommend this title above all other Star Wars titles and not just on the Xbox, I also owned it on PC before this. It is actually so good that I bought it twice. I eve hear this is one of the best games Mac users can get, if you're willing to spend 50-60 on a six year old game.
Good Challenging Game June 22, 2005
Michael Anthony (Tampa, FL USA)
This isn't your typical run through game, you actually have to think and take risk at times. It does get a little difficult as stated in alot of reviews but that's the thing I like most about it. I rate this just as good as Jedi Academy. My only flaws were the default controls, those were a pain. I highly recommend changing that and the force powers were a pain to use at first but once you got used to it it wasn't that bad. This has a decent story line as all the Star Wars games do and fun to play. I had to use a few cheat codes on some of the levels (like Level Skip)because it gets pretty tough, but I didn't have to do that much, maybe twice. Anyways, this is a definately must have for all the Star Wars fans out there.

This is a great game for any skilled star wars game freak. The graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is very fun and challenging don't listen to the negative reviews claiming the game is to hard, the people who claim it's to hard are just weak at video games granted the game can frustrate but it never get's to the point where you want to throw the game out the window. This is a good game and I highly recomend it to and star wars fan. p.s. don't buy jedi academy that game is horrible! what a shame to ruin the series like that!
Action Packed!!! April 28, 2004

My computer was to slow to play it. So I had to wait till it came out on Xbox. I had high hopes for this game and it did not let me down. The first two levels were kinda dull for me because I wanted to use a lightsaber. But after the first two levels it was granted and the game shined differently in my eyes. The gameplay after that point was action packed and I can say I never thought to brandish a gun ever again. From your first lightsaber dual up to the secret stage of the game, I have enjoyed the gameplay experience. I even find myself returning to the jedi action once and a while to slaughter stormtroopers and take in some of the big environments. If it wasn't for certain levels were I was constantly plummeting to my death I would have gave it five stars. I'm not a big Star Wars freak but just buy this game if you like the movies, it won't let you down.
