  I have a great time with this game as both my 4 year old son and my 6 year old nephew are really getting into star wars and we play it together.
  The single player story part of the game is ok but it really comes into its own on the multiplayer battles, these are great fun and you can have full bot support (p.c players) as well.
  The graphics are ok but dont really stretch the x box.

  Ok there are plenty of 1st person shooters around, and probably a few technically better than JKII, however if you grew up dreaming of being a Jedi Knight or on the other hand you are still working towards this goal then give JKII a (decent) try.

  My wife bought this game along with our Xbox for my 5 year old and me (well the game was really for me). Initially having played the PC version I found the two thumbstick control difficult (not being a veteran Xboxer) and put the game into the too hard basket in particular for my 5yo son who loves anything Star Wars related. It seemed once again I'd underestimated his ability as now a few months down the track we play the game in two player mode for hours on end - particularly going for team work in Capture the Flag and Free For All games.

  The graphics and levels in the game amazingly recreate the Star Wars feel and the one player story mode has a reasonable storyline to maintain interest. Sound is excellent especially if you have Dolby Digital. I was annoyed that I didn't get a lightsabre in one player mode until getting through a good number of levels, but slicing through a bar full of bad guys in true Jedi fashion has made my perserverance worthwhile.

  So for all the budding Jedi Knights out there I'd say go grab this game - entertainment is to be found in both 1P and 2P modes.

  This game, in a word, is fantastic! The graphics are superb, and there's also a decent storyline too. Apart from the normal blasters and trip-mines, you also get to wield a light-sabre as Kyle Katarn and re-learn how to use the force. Force-throwing your light-sabre through a line of storm-troopers is a sight to be seen! You can also use the death-grip on unsuspecting baddies, or you can stand at a distance and send out bolts of purple lightning and watch your victims get frazzled!
  You also come across old favourites such as R2-D2 who help you out with security doors and so on.
  I haven't finished this game yet - the best bit so far has been a light-sabre duel in the famous carbonite freezing chamber facility on Bespin! Wow!
  This really is a proper StarWars game and will keep you entertained for a long long time!

  The graphics are good. Sound and BGM is even better, especially the blaster sounds. You really feel like you're battling Imperial forces.

  Each level is well-designed and absolutely faithful to the Star Wars Universe.

  HOWEVER, the game moves so fast (which it should on the all powerful Xbox) that aiming using the right analog stick can be difficult.

  Luckily, this can be remedied by reducing the analog sensitivity, so both hardcore and casual gamers are happy.

  Anyway, this is a quality title by anyone's standard and Star Wars fans will be particulary happy. Definitely worth a try.
