Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
About
New students are arriving at Jedi Academy on distant Yavin IV but unknown enemy shots down their shuttle. As soon-to-be Jedi approach the Academy on foot they stumble upon two stormtroopers and Dark Jedi that seems to be the reason for the calamity.
The game is the sequel to Jedi Outcast and a part of the series of Jedi Knight RPGs from Raven Software. It continues the tradition of sparkling third-person action gameplay adding new stuff to destroy, new missions to complete and vehicles to drive. A player is granted an opportunity to create own character, customize its appearance, choose lightsaber and learn the way of The Force.
Jedi Academy heavily emphasizes its multiplayer capabilities: there are more than 20 arenas and 6 different play modes to fight your friends and foes that keep gamers playing it even today more than a decade after its release. At its heart is modified Quake III Arena Engine and through the years the game gathered around itself a unique community of fans that mods the jack out of their beloved Jedi Academy.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy reviews and comments
To date, there is no better game in this genre. After 16 years, it's very nice playing. The story and gameplay is top notch. For fans of multiplayer, it will be a pleasant surprise that the servers are not empty and there is always a duelist. Duels in this game is a special event! Sparring can drag on for several minutes.
Highly recommended.
It has not too much replayability, because story-wise is not too complex, but it felt so good to finish it the first time.
Have to say that it aged really well being an old game.
