Is it still worth playing?

Raven Software's 2003 first and third person shooter with hack and slash combat, for Windows and Xbox. You play Jaden Korr, a new student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, two years after Jedi Outcast. You use blasters, lightsabers and Force powers, and build your own lightsaber from a hilt and one of five blade colors, with fast, medium and strong styles and more unlocked later. After a training course the missions come in three batches of five, where one per batch may be skipped. You choose light or dark Force skills at the start of optional missions, and the final battle changes with the side you chose. Multiplayer has Capture the Flag, Power Duel and Siege. Building your own lightsaber and choosing light or dark skills still give a second run a different shape today.
