The downside is that the character's mouths don't move which looks a little silly, but the whole effect is simply jaw-dropping. However, this is THE worst thing about the mod, because pretty much everything else is great :D (As you'd expect from three years work)Īfter stealing the plans from the imperial base in level 1, you're treated to some remakes of the original cut-scenes which are very nice indeed. Whilst it looks fantastic, and the weather effects are stunning, the map may be verging on 'unplayable' for those with lower spec PC's. The same applies to the second city level. If a little more attention to VIS had been used, and techniques such as area-portaling, some indoor areas could have been vastly improved. It doesn't go too low, i.e below 10, but in the cavern area it never goes above 20 either. It's absolutely awful, and running around this level is absolutely horrifying. Here comes my biggest and worst point about the entire first two levels of the demo. I spawned in a small lift and the grate opens into a narrow corridor, exactly as I remembered it from the original game. There are three demo levels in this mod, all of them fairly large, but you have to play them in order, starting with the good old imperial base. What the team for this mod has done is taken the old game and completely transferred it onto JKA, new textures, new sounds, better all around you could say. In fact, the original game was probably the first FPS I ever played and in that respect I think I know the game pretty well :) This file is basically a remake of that game for Jedi Academy. Dark Forces was the first game in the Jedi Knight Series (Dark Forces, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight II e.t.c), and it came out way way back when I got my first PC. Phew, well that took longer than expected to complete ) *Takes a VERY deep breath* Ok, on with the show eh? A little introduction is probably required first, so here's the history for you.
