Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The force powers are cool (you can roleplay as The Emperor if you master the "naughty" Force Lighting skill), however your force/mana pool is quite limited, so you are often stalling to perform the next jump/power/combo; it breaks the combat flow.

+ great soundtrack

After you have the game installed join me on my dedicated server (where most of the community play) with /connect 135.125.145.49:29070 or /connect JoF.JK3.in
