This time around however, you'll be controlling a new Jedi recruit and Kyle will be the Jedi Master training you. Unfortunately, there are far too many similarities between Jedi Academy and its predecessor. There have been improvements and tweaks made, but the gameplay and graphics in particular seem tired.

There have been improvements and tweaks made, but the gameplay and graphics in particular seem tired. Although the gameplay in Jedi Academy doesn't have any major changes there are a number of small improvements that add some separation between the two titles. In Jedi Academy , you have the ability to build a character ranging across five species and two genders. Other options are available as well such as light saber handle and blade color. Unfortunately, this feature is small is scope compared to other games and is almost a waste of time.
You can rarely see the handle of the light saber in any detail for instance during the game so selecting one is rather useless. The biggest disappointment is the lack of significant changes to the gameplay and graphics. It plays almost identically to Jedi Outcast and looks similar as well.
Had I not played Knights of the Old Republic, this might have been less of a factor but Jedi Academy feels like Jedi Outcast repackaged with a different story line. The other issue is that the story line isn't near as engrossing as Jedi Outcast which is also disappointing. That may sound bad, but Jedi Outcast was a great game with solid gameplay and graphics.
Just don't expect anything revolutionary and be prepared for dated graphics.
