Possibly the best Star Wars game for Mac
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy is a superb RPG for Mac that challenges you to become a Jedi Knight in a swashbuckling adventure with great graphics, sound and plot. 10 years after its original release, developer Aspyr has finally brought it to the latest generation of Intel Macs.
First and third person perspectives
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is part of Jedi Knight series of games where you play the role of a new student eager to learn how to use The Force from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Throughout the game, you interact with famous Star Wars characters such Han Solo and C3PO in various classic Star Wars locations. You fight for good and freedom on the light side or follow the path of power and evil to the dark side.\nStar Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy switches between first and third-person perspectives with both shooter-style gameplay and of course, Lightsabre combat. The really smart thing about Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy is that the ending is really up to you. Depending on what you do and who you slay along the way, the ending will change.
Optimized for MacBook Pros
There had been some usability issues with Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy even on MacBook Pros due to problems with the graphics card but Aspyr now seem to have fixed the problem, and the game runs very smoothly including on Retina Macs. If you still experience problems, however, set the game to the lowest graphics setting and you should be OK. Unfortunately, there's no gamepad support yet though.
Superb graphics and sound
The graphics and sound in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy are generally excellent. The game is fully licensed from Lucas Arts so all of the characters you'd expect from a Star Wars epic are present and named correctly. The dynamic plot also makes Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy something a bit different than you're average RPG.
A must for Star Wars fans
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Knight Academy is a must for all Star Wars fans. Remember that if you've already bought on Windows via Steam, you get the Mac version for free.
