Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is the second installment of the Jedi Knight/Dark Forces series, developed and published by LucasArts exclusively for Windows in 1997. It was later released via Steam and Direct2Drive in 2009.
The game was originally created as a 2-disk series compatible with Windows 95 and 98. More recently, it has been made available via Steam (beginning in September 2009) or by mounting a torrent file to a virtual CD drive. It is a 3D first-person shooter, although it can be played in third person as well. Like later installments in the series, it is an action/adventure game that features progressive Force power development. Each mission, with the exception of the battle levels, contains secret areas that can be found for extra power stars used to increase the rank of force powers. The game features a variety of resolutions, 3D acceleration, high-quality sounds, a phenomenal musical score, and live-action cutscenes and cinematics. It also features the ability to choose to become either a light Jedi or a dark Jedi.
