''Star Wars: Jedi Knight'', is a first/third-person shooter video game series set in the fictional ''Star Wars'' expanded universe. The series focuses primarily on Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial officer who ultimately becomes a member of the New Republic and an instructor at the Jedi Academy. The ''Jedi Knight'' series began in 1995 with the release of ''Star Wars: Dark Forces'' for DOS, Macintosh, and PlayStation. This was followed in 1997 by ''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II'' for Microsoft Windows, in which Katarn learns the ways of a Jedi. In 1998, ''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith'' was released as an expansion pack for ''Dark Forces II'', this time giving the player control of Mara Jade as well as Katarn. In 2002, ''Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast'' was added to the series. ''Jedi Outcast'' was developed by Raven Software and powered by the ''Quake III: Team Arena'' game engine. It was released for Windows, Mac, Xbox and GameCube. ''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'' followed in 2003 on Windows, Mac and Xbox. It was powered by the same game engine as its predecessor. ''Jedi Academy'' was the first game in the series where the player does not control Katarn at any point, although he is featured prominently in the storyline. The games in the ''Jedi Knight'' series have received generally favorable reviews. Multiple publications have commented on the quality of the series as a whole, with ''GameNOW'' describing it as "consistently great." The use of the lightsaber in the series, a prominent gameplay element in all but the first game, has received specific praise for its implementation. ==Games== ImageSize = width:300 height:500 PlotArea = left:50 bottom:10 top:10 right:0 DateFormat = mm/dd/yyyy Period = from:01/01/1995 till:12/31/2003 TimeAxis = orientation:vertical ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:1 start:1995 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:1 start:1995 Colors = id:blue value:rgb(0,0,0) id:red value:rgb(0.9,0.05,0.05) # there is no automatic collision detection, # so shift texts up or down manually to avoid overlap Define $dx = 25 # shift text to right side of bar # shift texts up or down when two have same year Define $up = shift:($dx,3) Define $dw = shift:($dx,-8) PlotData= bar:Games anchor:till color:black width:17 textcolor:blue align:left fontsize:S mark:(line, green) shift:($dx,-4) from:start till:end at:02/28/1995 text:"Star Wars: Dark Forces" at:09/30/1997 text:"Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II" at:02/24/1998 text:"Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith" at:03/26/2002 text:"Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast" at:09/16/2003 text:"Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" *''Star Wars: Dark Forces'' was developed and published by LucasArts, and released in North America on February 28, 1995 for MS-DOS and Macintosh,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Star Wars Dark Forces for PC )〕 and on November 30, 1996 for PlayStation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Star Wars: Dark Forces for PlayStation )〕 It was the first officially produced first-person shooter set in the ''Star Wars'' universe. *''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II'' was again developed and published by LucasArts, and released in North America on September 30, 1997 for Microsoft Windows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II )〕 *''Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith'' is an expansion pack for ''Dark Forces II''.
