7 Essential Star Wars Games You Must Play Before The Force Awakens

4. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knShHXJESa4 A dated game to be sure, but one that should be played by any Star Wars fan. Jedi Outcast has everything. First person, third person, blasters, mines, multi-player (which I bet still has players running around), and of course, lightsabers. Anyone who hasn't played it yet be warned; you'll be going for quite a while before you get your lightsaber or use any force powers, but that makes it even more special. When you finally get everything it'll more than be worth the wait. The main protagonist here is Kyle Katarn, a character with quite the history behind him who shows up in the Star Wars expanded universe as well. The story is set after the timeline of the original trilogy, but that will be evident to everyone seeing as how (MILD SPOILER) Luke Skywalker is the Grand Jedi Master of the new Jedi Academy. Don't let the fact that this game is 13 years old hold you back. It really did age well thanks to those timeless sound effects and a great presentation - making its combat and graphics way better than what you're probably imagining.
