So this might make it in a video in the future on the Star Wars Praxeum youtube channel but for now, I'll post this here first for our Reddit community! Okay Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (JKA / JA) is a game that was developed by Raven Software (and many other developers over the years) and published by Activision and was initially released in 2003 and personally this game is definitely one of my favourite star wars game and for many years now so sorry for being somewhat bias in this writing!
Firstly, JKA had great visuals for the time it was released with also a great in-depth lightsaber combat system than any other Star Wars game in the past and arguably this present time (Jedi Fallen Order probably won't be able to top it in my opinion) and also having a reasonably strong community behind the game including other games in the Jedi Knight series. However, the opinion of many people in the community does agree that the storyline of the game is lacking compared to its predecessor "Jedi Outcast (JO)" which had a more in-depth story to it nevertheless JA was a great game which improved on some combat elements within the game and added additional lightsaber styles too! Okay with a strong community behind this game there is a strong modding scene behind this game building extra content for the game from maps, player models, vehicles, full conversion mods and more most popular mods is japlus (ja+ ja++) and movie battles 2.
JKHub.org is mostly the central place of the community hosting a community forum, place to download mostly all mods for the game, the backup game server for server listing and the JKHub Network Bar. JKHub's owner Caelum also has another business that hosts most of the servers within the community including websites and game servers for the community (of course at a reasonable price)
Let's get into the multiplayer side of this game, It can be somewhat difficult on finding someone on a server at sometimes but don't get me wrong there is still heaps of activity well this is at certain times and on modded versions of the game even tho the base game still gets a reasonable amount of activity but most popular mods like japlus and movie battles 2 get most of the activity within the game. There are many communities/clans within the game most popular clans in the japlus is Knights Reborn and also The (JAWA) Clan within the game with their own servers and how they run things going from training schools, events and even tournaments.
Soi has to say this is on you, i personally still like the game and hopefully returning as a clan member at (JAWA) very soon but can i recommend this game for 2019? Simple answer if you are a Star Wars fan is yes and if you don't just get it cause its fun also if you got something to say about the game say it! xD
