10 Video Games That Completely Switched Genre Halfway Through

Though Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast technically allows players to choose between first and third-person perspectives from the very start of the game, the first half-or-so is so intently focused on shooting that you'll likely stick to a first-person viewpoint for the most part.

It isn't until the game's seventh level - roughly 40% of the way through the campaign - that you finally unlock Force powers and gain a lightsaber, at which point Jedi Outcast becomes a rather different game entirely.

This is the juncture where most players will put gun away and switch almost permanently to the third-person perspective, save for a few brief moments where shooting is necessary or advantageous.

Players near-universally agree that Jedi Outcast has a slow start and the Force-focused second half is massively superior to the first, making it clear that it should've just cut to the chase and gotten a lightsaber in your hands much quicker.
