JA offered some degree of your decisions impacting the course of the game, but KotOR offers you a lot more of that. Even more customisation (though, like a lot of other full RPGs, this one does fall into the trap of having only really a few specs that work well). Star Wars: Jedi Academy follows Roan, a pilot aspirant, who gets rejected from pilot school, but is instead selected for the Jedi Academy. An excellent storyline - barring perhaps trying it again from the other side of the Force that you chose the first time, I feel like there's not quite so much replayability to it, based on the main plot theme, but it's still gripping while you're going along for the ride the first time. KotOR: A whole new world several, in fact! Loads of new lore in terms of histories, places, cultures, etc. It's a fairly decent shooter when you want to shoot, but fantastic fun when you just want to dismember a small army of stormtroopers!

And mostly, when contrasted with KotOR, the action gameplay. Some well-known characters, like Luke Skywalker, Chebacca, Threepio, Boba Fett and Kyle Katarn are in it. JA: A linear storyline (that while not as good as some other Star Wars ones, isn't by any means bad) that still lets you choose the order that you take through missions and locations, and allows customization of character, force power set, fighting style and 'saber aesthetics. I must have spent several times as many hours playing Jedi Academy than I have KotOR.
