I just... I CANNOT deal with the opening few levels of Outcast anymore.
Academy got it right. Skip the preamble and just give you the saber and force powers from the jump. It's where the game shines. No need to dick around pretending to be a crappy shooter for half of it like Outcast and Dark Forces 2.
Shame the Katarn games have a much better story than Academy.
Doesn't take a lot of brains to be a good fighter.
