The important thing is the graphics make you feel like you are in the Star Wars Universe and not just playing some random sci-fi game. The characters are usually flooded with light while no attention is paid to where they are. The implementation of live action movies are a good way of getting the story moving, but there is a lack of environmental detail in most of these shots. The models for actual characters look blocky, but so do most 3D models from the mid 90’s. The levels are all varied and very large and the models for the guns, lightsaber and walkers all look great.
For an early 3D game the graphics are pretty impressive. Instead of reusing the engine from Dark Forces, Jedi Knight uses the Sith engine which is fully 3D. Overall, the story is entertaining, but nothing extraordinary.
The best part about it is the game does not tell you about the moral choices you make until you get to a certain point, so if you kill all of the civilians in the earlier stages you are pretty much stuck on the dark side. The side of the force you are ultimately on does not change the levels you play, but it changes a movie or two in game and the ending you get. Depending on what force powers you choose, and whether or not you choose to kill or leave civilians alone will determine what side of the force you are on at a certain point in the game. This is also the first game in the series to use a moral choice system. Instead of the story developing during game play, there are live action videos in between each chapter. Throughout his journey he obtains a lightsaber and discovers he can use force powers. However, instead of being a mercenary for the Rebel Alliance, he is now looking for the Dark Jedi who killed his father. In Jedi Knight you are once again following Kyle Katarn. However, the largest change by far is the implementation of the lightsaber and force powers. There is also much more shooting and platforming, and much less puzzle solving compared to Dark Forces. Instead of being forced to play from the first person perspective, Jedi Knight allows you to change to 3 rd person and play the game that way. Jedi Knight is similar to Dark Forces in that it is a first person shooter.
