This is an annoying one. The inclusion of Mara Jade is great but that's kind of it.
I love Dark Forces II, and this did a lot of things wrong as an expansion.

For one Mara is far weaker than Kyle and you have very little in the way of force powers by the end, where we should have seen different things. The levels in Dark Forces II felt fine enough for me, but a lot of this game takes the piss with how silly the solutions are. The final levels also throw such retarded enemies at you it's rare you'll ever make it round a corner without save spamming.

That aside, the game is still enjoyable to play like DF2 and i liked a couple of bosses at the end so the core experience was still there. It's just been buried in a lot of shit.
