MOH: Pacific Assualt a la Star Wars with a smart squad

This isn't just another run and gun game, do that and you are dead, this is a tactical shooter where you have to make the calls by the minute and rather than using your own firepower to stop entire armies, you use that of your squad. Unlike previous squad shooters where you would either have no control or very limited control of your team, this gives you exclusive control over your squad with a simple press of a button. If you ask for covering fire you are going to get it, your team is not going to run in circles yelling out random scripts until they or you get killed, they are going to shoot your ememies. While it can be relatively short, it is worth buying for those who either love Star Wars or just want to have fun blowing waves of droids and aliens to kingdom come.

This is a great game, which I recommend to any gamer, the squad is made for fun gameplay, they arent as stupid as the AI in alot of games and almost never frustrated me enough to bother me, the only complaint I have about this game is that it only takes place in 3 different settings, which means there are alot of redundant maps, not as bad as Halo was, but it still ngets old after 2 hours of playing your still on the same level looking at rooms that look like the last 20 you went through, this is still a great game though, a must for any game collection.

to awesome for words

I really can't communicate in words how awesome this game is. It is wicked fun to play, has intelligent AI, good graphics, and offers an amazing look into the darker, military world of Star Wars. It's really nice to be able to fight through the Clone Wars from a perspective other than that of the Jedi.

It is so cool because you can get all these granades. It's like you're every single type of clone at once. But the bad thing is you get a very small health box. You have a squad with you and you can command them to do all this cool stuff, like protect you or guard the area or blow up a wall and more.

A shooter that requires no skill

The is a quick and painless game. I't very easy for a first person shooter. You could probably never die if you know when to pull back and regroup. The guns are ok. The sniper rifle does like no damage if you don't zoom in. The ending leaves u hangin, and I was hoping for an all out assault on lots of enemies but it never came. Over all good game but get it cheap or used because it's def not worth more than 25 bucks.

I played the demo

the demo was quite fun, much like the rainbow six series in the way of team combat but with a twist of starwarsy goodness. I think i would have enjoyed it more with more satasfying ways of killing, like in halo but oh well, its rated T

P.S. if you dont have somthing constructive to review, or you havnt actually played the game being presented, dont put a rating down because it brings the games appeal down as well.

OK... I have only played the demo, but...

I am not going to rave on and on about how great this game is like those other nicompoops with terrible spelling and grammer. I am not going to go on about what and who you are or who your squad is. I am going to tell you, and give a you, a honest to god review of this game. This game comprises of a fully interactable environment with terrific graphics. Not kidding. And I've played some heavy stuff, like Halo2 and Half Life 2 and their graphics can't compare with this thing (OK, Maybe Half Life 2 beats it but...). The gameplay is not that bad. It's not everyday a game comes out with such a smart squad. But those ravers left out things, like how Sev, the team sniper, can't even manuever around a tree, or how Fixer, your second in command, gets stuck to the wall. I mean, come on! And you seem to have a serious lack of ammunition. Your weapon, the DC-117, manufactured by BlasTech Corp., has three functions: assault rifle, sniper rifle, and anti-armor rifle. The assault rifle has 300 rounds, in five sixty round magazines. This may seem like a lot, but it won't when you find that this gun needs twenty shots to kill a Trandoshan slaver on easy settings. Sniper mode consists of twenty rounds in four five shot magazines. These are actually decent, but why only four mags? They're smaller that your hand, after all. The last, anti-armor rifle, or a grenade launcher, has the ability to take out armored stuff, like a huge Spider Droid, or shielded Droidekas. And you're supposed to take on eight droidekas with four shots. Oh god. And did I mention that your team has no idea how to switch to the necessary weapons when needed? They can only snipe in certain places, but when those places aren't available, they waste half their ammo on a target a miles away. Jeez! Your team can't switch to anti-armor mode either. Disappointment huh? You'll probably end up grabbing guns off the floor and using them instead of your rifle. Or you'll be using your nice little pistol. It's rechargable, thanks to Tibianna gas. How convenient. Oh, did I mention that it can only fire a couple of shots before having to recharge? And you'll be probably using that sometimes instead of the assault rifle, just to save some ammo. But this game has one rather innonative feature. When a teammate is down, he's not gone. How? You go next to him and administer some bacta, and he wakes up again! Simple right? Maybe, but maybe not when you're trying to dodge fifty machine guns at the same time. So this is the ultimate weapon, huh? Your squad is sure impressive. They stick to walls, don't know how to take cover, use world war one suicidal charge tactics, etc. etc. You for one, you people, try to realize this game for what it is. A typical and repetitive first person shooter. Wait till it drops to twenty bucks before you buy it. Or you'll be sorry. Now I gotta' go, and I hope you appreciated this review.
Note:I have played both the PC and XBOX demo for this game.

The darker side of war

To start off, Republic Commando is really good. The graphics are awesome and the enemy AI is great. To give an example, AI units fire around corners and then take cover. That's really cool.

Basically, you have a squad of 4 clones including yourself. (you are the leader.) You command your squad to sabotage, rescue, destroy etc. The command system is really easy. You press 1 button and your clones do your bidding. You can tell them to defend, follow you, attack agressively, and take up certain posts, like making them snipe, throw grenades, launch anti armor guns and so on.

Your weapons. Now, the weapons are cool, but weak. Your main weapon fires off a lot of rounds in a few seconds. And the enemies are way too strong. It takes sooooo many shots to kill certain enemies. But one gun ( kind of like a machine gun ) shoots really fast, and kills enemies in a second. That's my favorite gun. Also, you don't have too many weapons to choose from. But I like the weapon designs.

Each level does not take very long to complete. You fight on 3 different locations: Geonosis, An abandoned republic assault ship, and the Wookie homeword, Kashyyyk. YAY! Wookies! Yes. You get to see wookies fight and throw enemies up in the air. The levels are boring, though, after you've played them for a while. I just like the weapons.

OH! Yes. You can bring back your squad to life again when they get "killed" or incapacitated. That's cool, right? Not really, because it's not realistic from my point of view. But it is still neat that you can revive your teammates. Also when you get "killed" you can command your squad to revive you. Basically, you're not killed until your whole squad is killed.

This game isn't just the run in and shoot type of game. You really have to utilize your squad tactics and create strategies to overrun certain outposts. That is one of my favorites of the game. Really cool.

The enemies are also diverse and unique, not the typical Star Wars characters in the movies. You get to fight Grievous' body guards. That is also neat.

All in all the game is really good besides the weapon and environment faults. I would highly reccomend this game to anyone.

Note: This game requires a lot of space on a computer if you know what I mean. The program might not perform very well (diminished graphics, poor sound quality, etc.) if you don't have the maximum requirements. So don't plan on getting the game if you don't have a powerful computer. Also there are a few glitches, like your squad members getting stuck in certain areas and you can do nothing about it.

"Deltas! Lock and Load!"

An excellent game, albeit a dark one

You've seen the glorious, heroic battles of the Star Wars universe in Star Wars: Battlefront 1 and 2. Now imagine those same battles through the eyes of a battle-hardened clone commando. What you get is a darker, more realistic interpretation of the star wars universe.

THE GAMEPLAY
In this game you are the leader of a four-man squad of Republic Commandoes. What this fairly new style of gameplay creates is an experience similar to a stand-alone shooter, while retaining team-based aspects. All-in-all: Excellent.

THE SQUAD
I personally think that your squad is what makes this game so much fun. You are the leader of Delta Squad, an elite team of highly trained clones. Each member of your squad has different colored armor, a different specialty, and a different personality and voice.
The voice-acting is excellent and the dialogue is very witty. It's hilarious to hear your squad bickering about who made more kills. The AI for your squad is one of the best I have seen in a game. They use cover intelligently, and are quick and efficient soldiers. The only problem I've noticed is that occasionally your Squadmates will get into melee fights with super battle droids, who have a much stronger physical attack. Inevitably, this will get your buddy killed. The weapons are varied and useful, and the controls are logical and easy-to-learn. Commanding your squad is surprisingly simple, but leaves a little to be desired. Your commands are: "Search and destroy," which basically means your squad should go on the offensive. "Form up," tells your squad to follow you, and "Hold position," is pretty self-explanatory. Also you can give your squad a number of scenery-dependant commands including an order to snipe from behind an obstacle or to get in a turret.
One neat thing is that when you encounter a locked door, you have the option to either execute a "door breach," which is where you put a detonator on the door, toss a grenade through when it's down, and burst in guns blazing, or do a "door slice," where you quietly slice into the door's computer lock, and hopefully get through without being detected.

List of Squadmates:

Name: Delta 38
Nickname: Boss
Profession: Squad Leader
This is you. The leader of Delta Squad. Slightly cynical, but fiercely loyal to the republic, Delta 38 is an intriguing character to play as. Oh, and he is voiced by Temuera Morrison, the guy who plays Jango Fett.

Name: Delta 40
Nickname: Fixer
Profession: Computer Slicer
Fixer is the good-boy, by-the-book soldier of the group. Retaining the least personality of the four, you can always count on fixer to follow regulations to the letter.

Name: Delta 62
Nickname: Scorch
Profession: Demolitions Expert
The joker of the group, Scorch is always sure to keep you laughing. Favoring the anti-armor gun attachment as is weapon of choice, Scorch loves to blow things up, and will make sure you have fun doing it.

Name: Delta 07
Nickname: Sev
Profession: Sniper
Sev has a very dark sense of humor, which I personally love. Sev is often to be found insulting dead bodies, or bickering with scorch, and his distinctively deep voice can is often the herald of doom for anyone who gets in Delta Squad's way.

Another great thing about this game is the storyline. The plot is intelligent, fast-moving, and as I have already mentioned the voice-acting is top-of-the-line. The most powerful part of the game is the ending scene, which is conveyed with emotion and drama that most movies struggle to achieve.
I would recommend this game to fans of shooters, Star Wars, or both. If you are looking for an exciting sci-fi story to get involved in, then this game is for you.

Better than Halo?

This game is incredible from start to finish. The graphics are amazing adding the darker, grittier, military perspective on the Star Wars universe. You play through the eyes of an Elite Clone Commander voiced by Temora Morrison the same guy that played Jango Fett. Your squad is very intellegent unlike many other squad based games of it's time like SOCOM. If you like first person shooters and you love star wars then this games is for you. It could probably even give Halo a run for its money
