Jedi Outcast is a quite good game (or, at least it was a few months ago when i played it), I liked it and like it still. I didn't find Academy any worse than it. In fact, some aspects (different sabers, character customization, semi-linearity) are even better. I think it is a nice prelude to Kotor.
As far as I remember, you can turn off 3rd person view or switch to 1st after equipping saber, but apparently I am wrong or you would already discovered it.
The only real complaint I have is the plot and the forced "Jock (or what's his name) is your friend" way of thinking. I wish to gut the arrogant bastard.
