==Basic Gameplay== | |||
When the game is first launched, it requires the player to create a very basic account by entering their name and selecting the desired difficulty level. The difficulty level cannot be modified once the game has begun. Once the player has created their account, they can choose the playing mode. | |||
The game features both single player (campaign) mode and multiplayer mode. As the player progresses through the storyline, cutscenes are unlocked. In order to unlock them all, the player must choose the light side. Choosing the dark side causes the cutscenes not to play between levels, due to the fact that Rahn abandons Kyle and doesn't provide information on the remaining Dark Jedi. However, choosing the dark side unlocks a different end-game cutscene. Please note that the player cannot view cutscenes that they have not yet unlocked. | |||

Since Kyle was never affiliated with the Force in ''Dark Forces'', the HUDs in ''Dark Forces II'' are slightly different to allow for the accumulation of force power. There is also the option of maxing out the screen size if the player doesn't want the HUDs displayed on-screen. | Since Kyle was never affiliated with the Force in ''Dark Forces'', the HUDs in ''Dark Forces II'' are slightly different to allow for the accumulation of force power.
