The weapons are good, with new ones since Jedi Knight. There is no capture the flag mode anymore, which is somewhat of a disappointment, since I always liked capture the flag. The object of the other players is to stop you, and get it for themselves. In KFS, you must hold onto a little slug-like creature and get points as long as you are holding it. The maps tend to focus on scenes from the movie, and are very well done. The maps range from Jabba the Hutt?s palace to Luke?s home to a Carbonite Chamber. They attack in groups, making it much harder to take them out. Also, in the temple there are Sith soldiers that use lightsabers. The vornskrs redefine ?greased lightning?. The Temple was very well done, and very creepy. The dianoga from Dark Forces 1 makes a comeback, and is now a lethal creature. There are some new AI, like Rebel Soldiers, wampas, scout troopers, and some others I will let you discover on your own. The levels range from an Asteroid Base to a Hutt?s Palace to an ancient Sith temple. While the levels are not as long as in Jedi Knight, the single player campaign is very good. Remember, graphics don?t make a game, the Gameplay makes a game. They are no doubt the WORST cutscenes I have ever seen they are even worse than the cutscenes in Wing Commander 2. The ingame cutscenes are no longer full-motion video (FMV), instead they are rendered by the engine. Even the original Unreal has better graphics than this. It cannot compare to the other games of the period. Other than that new feature, the graphics are the same blocky models as in Jedi Knight. Mysteries of the Sith can support colored lighting, which makes the atmosphere more interesting. Eventually, you go after Kyle, with the last three levels taking place in an abandoned Sith Temple. You play as Mara for the remaining 10 missions. The first 4 missions you play as Kyle and destroy an asteroid base. For those of you who don?t know, Mara later married Luke Skywalker, but that doesn?t come up in this game. Mysteries of the Sith is a series of missions based on Mara Jade becoming Kyle Katarn?s Apprentice. This is one of the best network games I have ever played. It contains 14 more levels, new weapons, new engine features, and a new multiplayer mode. Mysteries of the Sith is Jedi Knight?s Expansion Pack.
