I agree, these games are severely underrated and not remembered nearly well enough. Linear games that are still open-ended and offer lots of choices in approach, puzzles to solve that aren't stupid and don't whack you over the head with things, a lot of variety in gameplay and a good feel of progression, the story isn't anything special but it's still well done enough to keep things moving forward... really just a case of all the right things put together in a pot. In any single game we might point at one of these things as its defining quality, but in the Jedi Knight games there's not really a single thing you can point at and say "this is bad" or "this is under-developed." It's kind of the perfect package of shooter gameplay, probably the last of it we ever really had before the whole obsession with CINEMATIC FPS hit.
