I own Jedi Outcast on my Gamecube since earlier this year (and lo; the game even learned me how to do fps with a gamepad!), and I loved it too. I didn't really feel it was spectacular, but I had a serious good time with it. I was particularly surprised at how well you could fight with your lightsabre, swinging it around, throwing it, and how well the force powers were integrated in the fighting. I recall that in Jedi Knight, the lightsabre was a fun weapon, but fairly useless in a lot of situations. Here it really IS the game.
I did kind of miss the hint of non-linearity that was choosing which side you were on, but in the end it didn't matter. Oh, and I should mention that my version of the game was harder than yours. You see, I bought the game in France for a ridiculous low price, and the clerk assured me there'd be an english talkie on it. Nuh-uh. My French is adequate though, and the upside is that I now know how to speak "jedi" in French. Que la Force soit avec toi, Kyle.
