I understand the expansion had a lower budget and less time to be made, but there are certain scenes towards the end that would’ve benefited from the return of Jason Court (and his beard).

There’s also not much help from the voice actors, but their attempts certainly hold up better presently than rest of the cutscenes. Anyone who’s ever played with the action figures could have brought more life to the characters, and the cutscenes left me missing the bad, but campy fun of the FMV from DF II. Instead, MotS relies on in-game assets, which are polygonial messes with face-palm worthy stilted movements. To further hinder the story-part of me can’t believe I’m saying this- is the lack of FMV cutscenes. It sounds more exciting as I type it out than it actually was in the game.

She’ll find herself dealing with Hutts and protecting a Jedi Holocron before she finally decides to go after Katarn, now missing since he left for Dromund Kaas. Mara Jade is left without her master and takes missions from Mon Mothma (much like Katarn did in the original Dark Forces). He uncovers information regarding a planet called Dromund Kaas while raiding the Imperial base on weaponized asteroids and decides to follow up on the lead.

The story of Mysteries of the Sith begins with Katarn repelling Imperials invading a Rebel base. And by the time you reach the final three levels, it feels like you get a whole new game…but more on that later. To those who loved DF II, this is easily just another reason to get the expansion. The new locations and well-designed levels make the experience as fun as DF II, but there’s an ominous shroud of déjà vu moments. And by most of the time, I mean the first 12 levels out of a total 15. With some slight graphical improvements, new multiplayer modes/maps, a wider array of Force powers, and some killer final levels, it’s hard to argue against purchasing Mysteries of the Sith, especially if you enjoyed Dark Forces II.īeing an expansion, a “more of the same” feeling rules most of the time spent with MotS. Set just 5 years after Dark Forces II, MotS finds Mara under the tutelage of Katarn, who disappears while on a mission to Dromund Kaas (something The Old Republic fans know a little about). Mysteries of the Sith continued Kyle Katarn’s adventures, but with a little twist: the game was primarily played through the eyes of the Legends/EU starlet, Mara Jade. Three months after Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II released, its expansion was ready for fan’s attention.
