In fact, the game's complicated control scheme is better served on a GameCube controller than it is in the PC's typical mouse and keyboard setup. Instead, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast for the GameCube is a great port that retains the essence of what it must feel like to be an all-powerful Jedi, which was so well conveyed in the original PC game, without sacrificing much in the way of graphics, playability, or overall value. Thankfully, the GameCube version of Jedi Outcast doesn't follow the trend of bad ports that Dark Forces for the PlayStation threatened to start. It was a stark contrast to the PC version of Dark Forces, which was one of the most memorable first-person shooters of its time, as the rest of the games in the series have been. The game was released in 1996, and it was plagued by sloppy controls and graphics that were, to put it bluntly, ugly. Originally released for the PC earlier this year, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast marks the second time that LucasArts' Dark Forces series of first-person shooters has been released for a console-the first time being the mediocre port of Dark Forces for the PlayStation.
