Review (from allgame.com):<br />
==========================<br />
Star Wars: Jedi Knight -- Mysteries of the Sith takes place five years<br />
after the defeat of seven Dark Jedi by bounty hunter turned Jedi Knight<br />
Kyle Katarn. It also features the character Mara Jade (from the Star<br />
Wars novels), a warrior who once followed the path of darkness as the<br />
Emperor's Hand and is now Kyle's apprentice as he trains her in the ways<br />
of the Jedi. (She's also quite attracted to him.)<br />
<br />
The game's viewpoint switches from Kyle's perspective to Mara's as he<br />
departs to a newly discovered Sith temple to investigate the mysterious<br />
powers within. Meanwhile, it's up to Mara to protect a Holocron and<br />
negotiate "business" with a Hutt crime boss (not Jabba, but a Hutt all<br />
the same), all in the name of the New Republic.<br />
<br />
As an expansion disc to Jedi Knight -- Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the<br />
Sith features much of the same regarding gameplay through its 14<br />
missions. However, there are a few new and different weapons, and the<br />
absence of a "morality scale" means that no choice between the light<br />
side or the path of darkness occurs. As a result, all but two Force<br />
abilities found in Jedi Knight are available, with five new ones added<br />
as well. Also differing from its predecessor, Mysteries of the Sith's<br />
cut-scenes are computer-generated instead of portrayed by live actors.<br />
<br />
Once again a multi-player option exists, enabling you to compete with up <br />
o seven others over the Internet. Of course, you must choose your<br />
identity (there are even more to choose from than in Jedi Knight) as<br />
well as the color of your lightsaber. You achieve rank as you become<br />
more experienced and can even use a strong character you may have<br />
developed with Jedi Knight.<br />
<br />
Roots & Influences:<br />
All Star Wars games are based on the Star Wars series of science fiction<br />
films by George Lucas. Due to the immense popularity of Star Wars: Jedi<br />
Knight, this expansion disc was released. It features much of the same<br />
gameplay as its predecessor.
