A big difference in Jedi Outcast combat versus the previous games is that you will be able to duck and lean around corners, a necessity to survival, especially for the first several missions where you don't have a Lightsaber or any force powers. You learn that he is again a mercenary, has given up his Jedi powers after nearly succumbing to the dark-side from the previous game (Jedi Outcast assumes that he had chosen the light path rather than become a Sith Lord). In Jedi Outcast, you are introduced to an optional third-person, behind the character view of Kyle Katarn, which I prefer versus first-person so that you can better see your surroundings. There was also an expansion called Mysteries of the Sith, which I haven't played and seemed to get okay reviews, but was essentially like Jedi Knight with a different main character. Jedi Knight is a FPS with better maps and replay value than Dark Forces although the Lightsaber wielding tended to be very two-dimensional (basically swing then retreat then move in to swing again).
Either path you choose will take you to other Sith Lords that you must duel to the death, and ends in the Valley of the Jedi where you must kill the Sith leader, who was responsible for killing your father. Depending on the choices you make throughout the game, you can make Kyle a Jedi using light-side force powers, or he can become a Sith with dark powers. After gaining his father's Lightsaber, he can begin using force powers. In the second game, Jedi Knight, you learn more of Kyle Katarn's back story, that his father was a Jedi and that Kyle can be one too. Dark Forces is a pure FPS, quite old now (should work on an XP OS, or you will have to use Dos-box), and does a pretty good job introducing you to a main character that carries an arsenal of weapons and destroys Storm Troopers like a one-man army. He is all about money and takes more of a neutral stance between the two factions.
You play Kyle Katarn, and in the first game (Dark Forces) you learn that he is a mercenary for hire, once working for the Empire, now leaning towards the Rebels and their cause. The character is the same, and the story follows a general continuity seen in the previous titles.
