While the Star Wars look and feel as well as many of the game's great gameplay elements remain intact, the game falls graphically well below the other versions and lacks the fine-tuned controls of the PC original. Sadly, the game didn't transition as well to GameCube. Released in May of this year, the PC version of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast impressed our PC team enough to earn an editors' choice award, and the Xbox port is garnering similar accolades from our friends over at IGN Xbox.

PC owners weren't as fortunate, as many of the Star Wars titles lagged behind their console brethren - with the notable exception of the Jedi Knight franchise. From Super Star Wars over Rogue Squadron all the way to Clone Wars, most of the Super NES, N64, and GameCube Star Wars games impressed with visuals and gameplay that really brought George Lucas' famous universe to life. Nintendo fans are spoiled when it comes to Star Wars games.
