The Microsoft Windows and OS X versions were developed by Raven Software, and the Xbox and GameCube versions by Vicarious Visions. The PC version was published by LucasArts in North America and Europe, and by CyberFront in Japan. The Xbox and GameCube versions were published by LucasArts in North America, and Activision in Europe. The Mac version was published by Aspyr. Powered by the ''Quake III: Team Arena'' game engine, the game primarily revolves around ranged and melee combat, with the player capable of wielding classic ''Star Wars'' weapons such as blasters, lightsabers and Force powers.〔 The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes. The story-driven single-player campaign is set in the ''''Star Wars'' expanded universe'' two years after the events of ''Mysteries of the Sith''. The plot follows protagonist Kyle Katarn as he fights against the Dark Jedi Desann and his followers.〔 The game was critically well-received on all platforms, with scores on Metacritic of 89 out of 100 for the PC version,〔 81 out of 100 for the Xbox version,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast for Xbox Reviews )〕 and 75 out of 100 for the GameCube version.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast for GameCube Reviews )〕 In 2003, a sequel titled ''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'' was released for the Xbox, Mac OS and PC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - PC )〕 In 2006, the PC version of ''Jedi Outcast'' was re-released with four other ''Star Wars'' games in a pack entitled ''Star Wars: The Best of PC''.〔 On September 16, 2009, the game was re-released with the other ''Jedi Knight'' games (''Star Wars: Dark Forces'', ''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II'', ''Mysteries of the Sith'' and ''Jedi Academy'') onto Steam and Direct2Drive. ==Gameplay== As a first/third-person shooter set in the ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe, ''Jedi Outcast'' allows the player to wield a variety of firearms from the ''Star Wars'' franchise, as well as lightsabers and Force powers. The player can choose whether to use first or third-person perspective for each weapon, including the lightsaber. Combat is standard for the shooter genre, offering players an array of energy and projectile weapons, plus a variety of explosives. Players have health and shield meters, each of which is replenished separately. ''Jedi Outcast'' places a strong emphasis on lightsaber combat. As in the films, lightsabers can be used to deflect shots from blasters. The game offers three lightsaber styles; fast, medium and strong, with each style differing from the others in terms of the speed of attacks and damage dealt. There are also a number of combos, many of which are unique to the selected saber style. Force powers (such as Push, Jump, and Lightning) are available in both single-player and multiplayer modes, but more powers can be used in the latter. The use of powers is restricted by a "Force Meter", which depletes with each use and gradually refills over time. The "level" of a Force power determines the strength of that power and the amount depleted from the Force meter during its use. The multiplayer mode divides players into Light Siders and Dark Siders, pitting each side against the other in team battles. Each side has access to both shared "Neutral" Force powers, which are mostly focused on increasing speed and athletic ability. There are also numerous powers unique to both Light and Dark sides. As in the previous games, Light Side powers are mainly focused around protection and healing, while Dark Side powers are openly aggressive. Unlike previous games, however, Kyle does not exclusively select Light or Dark powers in the single-player, instead receiving a selection of both. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
