Star Wars: Republic Commando

This game was one of my favorites when I was just a teen. Last week I redownloaded it just for nostalgia. After 12 years I loved it again. The story and the characters are really pulling you to the game. We see how the clones live and die from their own perspective. I always believed star wars is not only lightsabers and Jedi and this game makes us feel that how big "a galaxy far far away" can be! We see the battles we in the movies in a behind the curtain look. The gameplay is quite fluent. You feel as if you really are underfire and you are battling a huge number of enemies while trusting your skills and your brothers. As I have said, these "brothers" are really nice characters. They are clones still each have a unique personality and traits. Although the game has violant sides, actually the narrative is fantastically funny.

I wish the modern games were also aiming for the players joy instead of ingame product selling... I storngly recommend it to all Star Wars fans and FPS lovers

You wanna know addicting play this, more violent than halo but still very addicting. You play as commando 38(Boss), with 62(Scorch), 42(Fixer), and 07(Sev). Fighting behind scenes of the movie, except for one chapter. You play with a arsenal of weapons, with also cool turrets to grapple onto, this was made by a man that retired the marine core. So you get many tactics, and many things that you can't do on other commando games. You also get good humor from your teammates, and fight crazy hard enemies.

You have to play this, SO addicting. Only ten bucks, it also comes with a program you can find in the files that you can do it(don't drag it to the desktop). It's for modding, and you can find mods on moddb and share your creation of it, with a account. Enjoy.

Star Wars: Republic Commando is the best game I have ever played and continues to be so. The multi-player online never gets boring and I play it every day. Single player is just as good because it is suspenseful and really gets the effect of what happened. It really lays out a republic commando's life. I hope they make a second one that will be better than the first. I hope they make the second one so that who can connect with other players and become a squad of your own with one of you being a squad leader and so on. I really hope that somebody follows me up on this and agrees with me. I give this a ten because i will never play a game this fun. i give it 3 thumbs up! Thanks for listening

I'm a fan of First Person Shooters, I play them almost exclusively, And this game is one of the best. It is certainly the Best Star Wars game I've played. Heres Why, it is almost entirely unrelated to the original Star Wars Films (Not the "Jumped up firework display of a toy advert" that was phantom menace) there is one light-sabre joke, and thats very easy to miss, there is also the familiar look of the stormtroopers. Aside from that, there are only wookies to remind you this is Star Wars. It is essentially a FPS, there are squad commands (Form Up, Search and Destroy style commands) although most people will never use them. THere are also specific commands (Sniper, Anti-Armor, Grenade Position) these are easy to use without being too invasive. These are there if you want to use them, but you can play the entire game just letting the squad do their own thing. The Graphics and atmosphere are Extremely good. Particularly in an abandoned Ship, The Foley and the Graphics combine to make a great atmosphere for the game. Finally a word about the squad, the dialogue is enjoyably pointless, they manage to inject some humour into the whole affair.

So On the whole, in one word:

SUPERB

I was so excited about this game when I first heard about it. I'm a huge fan of squad based games. I can play Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon for hours and love every minute of it. This game, however, I couldn't even play for more than an hour and a half before I returned it to Blockbuster for credit (at a $20 loss).

The single player mode looked promising. I played a little of it and enjoyed it. It was pretty easy to command your squad. The only thing I didn't care for was the health that was around every turn. I know that a lot of people like to be able to refill their health, but I say that having health refills takes away any penalty that you have of getting shot. Another thing I didn't care for was the revive command. I find it to make the game too easy, and again there is no penalty for getting shot/dying.

The multi-player mode was almost an after thought. Obviously very little time was spent developing it. You have no co-op missions and, for play on Xbox Live, you could only have one person per console. So many other games realize that you still want to have guests play with you even if you are playing online.

I wish I could say I liked the controls, but the lack of being able to customize the thumb sticks really turned me off. I like my right thumb stick to look (up/down), strafe (left/right). The controls that this game uses (left stick move, right stick look) are good if the Xbox supported keyboard/mouse (a weakness which is not this games fault).

All in all. I would say if you want a squad based game, stick to Ghost Recon (2), or preorder Rainbow Six Lockdown.
