Got a Screenshot, Need the Name

I got this screen-shot from one of my friends. Could anyone help us find out the name of this game, please?



I guess it's some sort of MMORPG or Action Adventure game.

Jedi Knight 2.

Right, as far as I can tell (I'm not that far into the game, but things look familiar).

Absolutely … right before Kyle goes in search of his Force Powers again, Dessann puts the smack-down on him

Thanks guys. Bull's eye!
I've played this game a long time ago, but I could not remember it.

Hmmm … guess I never did my 'Retrospective' for GamerDad on this one … did Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith, and replayed JKII (as I do every year) but never finished the write-up.

Weird, I've played and finished JK2, but I don't remember that scene at all.

….it's been a while though

It is a few hours into the game, right at the end of the part you play with blasters-only. The location is the end of the Artus mining colony, and Dessann and Tavion have taken Jan on to the ship, and we are to think she was killed … Kyle tries to battle Dessann, who tosses him around like nothing.

Behind Kyle is the staircase you walk up after coming through the last few trapped areas.

Of course, after that he heads to the Valley of the Jedi before heading off to Yavin to meet up with Luke.

Name that screen shot…sounds like a new game.

I have to ask again is JK2 good? how does it compare to dark forces? there was a jedi knight one? how does the story go if i want to follow it? DF is one of my all time favourite games.

If you like Star Wars, and first-person shooters in general, then it's *very* good.

It's a continuation of the same series:

'Dark Forces'
'Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II' (expansion pack - Mysteries of the Sith)
'Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast'.

I did retrospectives on Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith at GamerDad.

Basically …
- Dark Forces tells the tale of a secret plot during the Episode IV-VI period, with Katarn as a mercenary working for the rebellion.
- Jedi Knight tells of how he uncovers his history after his father dies and learns that he has Force potential that he must uncover.
- Mysteries of the Sith follows Kyle for a bit until he discovers a secret Dark Side plot, then we play as Mara Jade (later to become Skywalker) as she grows in power and seeks out Kyle.
- Jedi Knight II takes place years later, as Kyle has abandoned the Force after falling to the Dark Side, but upon crossing paths with Dessan he reawakens his abilities and gets on with some major butt-kicking.
- Jedi Academy takes place still later, with Kyle as an instructor at Luke's Jedi Academy. You make your own Jedi, gaining in light or dark powers as you progress.

In my estimation, Mysteries of the Sith is one of the best expansion packs of all time, Jedi Knight has the best story of the whole series, Jedi Academy does the best job of the saber combat and force power progression … but Jedi Knight II pulls off the best catharsis as you emerge as a Jedi …

To be perfectly honest, it IS a game. It is a contest in a gaming forum.
