used to geek jedi outcast many years ago, the combat set a high expectation for me for newer combat games. i have tried jka and would say the combat is improved from outcast, but it kinda ruined it for me that they added the special lightsaber moves, so i preferred jko. was quite fun loading up the pit map and spawn in different enemies(or allies) and test my skills against them. maybe i should try the game again, been a long time since last time ive played.
another game that i think can rival the combat in the jedi knights games (except SG) is overgrowth.
