Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1997 first person shooter for Windows, the sequel to Star Wars: Dark Forces, set a year after Return of the Jedi. The mercenary Kyle Katarn discovers his connection to the Force and to the Valley of the Jedi, an ancient source of power. It is primarily a first person shooter with the choice of a third person view, in twenty one levels with objectives to complete before you can continue. After level three you get the lightsaber and the Force. The lightsaber also deflects blaster fire and cuts through some obstacles. Force powers come in three types: light, nonviolent advantages such as restoring health or persuading enemies to ignore you, dark, violent ones such as throwing objects or choking enemies, and neutral. Stars from finding secrets let you choose which powers to enhance. Choosing which kind of power to grow still gives each run a shape of its own.
