With the exception of getting knocked to the floor meleeing against the Geonosians, this game's got me hooked! Great graphics, HUD (heads-up display), sqaud tactics, and most of all, fun. The enemy corpses are life like. If you shoot at them the body movies (nasty). Oh well. You won't waste you money on this game if you don't mind giving a FSP game a try.

Mostly annoying

Despite the fantastic graphics and my initial excitement and enjoyment when I first started playing, I soon found this game to be mostly annoying. The fact that you automatically "reload" every few seconds in a fire fight despite having 300 rounds of ammo on your gun display (and when have you ever seen anyone ever have to reload in a Star Wars movie anyway), gets tedious very quickly. I was also bothered by my team's ghost images showing all the different positions they could take in a fire fight (sniper postion, cover for grenades, etc), and just the fact that you had to waste time actually tageting those positions to give the command, instead of using that time to target the enemies wailing on you. Finally, the enemies themselves were a little too powerful, especially for the numbers they swarm you in. I constantly ran out of ammo (from full load) trying to take down a single super battle droid or Genosian elite. I'm sorry, but when I am constantly finding myself down to my single shot pistol while surrended by numerous enemies (and very few areas where new ammo can be obtained), so that I constantantly need to reload from dying so much, that ceases to be challenging and just becomes annoying.

This game was really fun. I think that it's the best game that they have come out with for Star Wars. It has really good graphics and phrases. Please be aware that you have to have a video card that supports vertex shading, if not, the game won't run. Overall, this game was the BOMB!!!

Lucas Arts releases a suprisingly good FPS

Republic Commando is an excelent game. I highly reccomend it to halo fans. Althought the single player campaign is pretty short, there are often multiple ways of completing missions which gives the game very high replayability. I have never grown weary of this game. As good as the single player campaign is, the multiplayer really isn't that great. Despite that, this is a supurb game, and might be near one of my top favorites.

This is one of the best star wrs games i've played and thats saying alot because i've played alot of star wrs games. The one slightest problem i have with it is that sev 07 gets left behind and then the game ends. I mean i'm sorry but that just really sucks. Other then that it was good. RC was better then the battlefront games because you pretty much change the tide of star wars clone wars battles. I mean in Battlefront you can pretty much be any clase of soldier and use any vicheale. However in RC there is one point in the game where you A: fight small armies B: fight with wookies C: use cooler wepeons then in battlefront D: you get to take down a trade federation coreship you have to admit that is cool F: Fight dwarf spider droids by yourself G: this is my favorite one, you get to use wookie homing rocket laumchers and trandoshin repeater guns! With a fully loaded repeater gun you can forget grendes and ambushes because you cane clear out an entire room in a matter of seconds! With the pure raw power of a wookie homing rocket launcher you can get one hit K.O.'s with a direct hit on ANYTHING MWAHAHAHA! There are parts where it is hard to kill things you just to find the thing's weakness. For example: a genosian dies with a few point blank shots with a sniper rifle and again with the sniper rifle you cane actually knock a super battle droids arms off! Thank you REPUBLIC COMMANDO!

IM TIRED OF THESE PEOPLE!!!!

Even though the Republic Commando's gameplay reminds me of the original "Dark Forces" -- straight up, mission-based, blow-em-up destruction -- this game can't stand on its own. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty fun for how short it was... but I want more for my hard-earned $50.

For starters, dead baddies don't stick around on the floor to obstruct the path of friends and foes, but you can trip over the dead wookies and other obstacles that the game deems important enough to provide sniping cover? Come on, Lucasarts -- my processor can handle the extra droid chunks! Also, if I launch a rocket at a Geonesian egg, the creature inside better well start screaming and burst into flames... what's left of it, anyway. On medium difficulty, weapons appear in quantities and types specific to what you're about to run into nearby; so you can guess what's coming up in the next room. I think this handicap is there because the standard assualt rifle (your main weapon) is pretty weak and goes through rounds like crazy. The rechargeable blaster packs a bigger punch and has greater accuracy!

I'm not going to drop a spoiler here, but it's pretty obvious that Lucasarts wants to make this into a series of games. $50, $50, $50. I'll pass. I'm glad that Lucasarts finally decided there was more to the Star Wars universe than just lightsaber fighting and quicksaves; kudos in that regard, but they continue to ignore the attraction for some people to play the single player, storyboard game and not just the multiplayer one. How about this: you can refund me for the version I don't want to play, and that would be about right... please make your check out to... :)

This game is awesome!!!!!

I played a demo of this game and it is really cool! It's kinda similar to rainbow 6 and those kind of team games. Its not tied to the story line of Star Wars at all, which is a real releif. Star Wars story line games are fun, but they get old. But this game is a shooter that is not like an RPG or a story line game, more like a mercinary game. It makes you feel like you 1 of 1000's of troops, which is a new feeling. Fighting for a Ruler you've never met, its new for star wars. Anyway, when this game comes out, buy it right away! You wont regret it!!!

BEST GAME EVER!!

i am a great fan of star wars and shooters. Republic commando is a great game, but it has several flaws that disappoint me.

Pros: Excellent graphics that were stunning to the eyes.
Extremely smart Ai that would respond quick and with intelligence.
Snappy language from squadmates and enemies
Good environments with sort of unscripted gameplay

Cons: Underpowered weapons
Monotonous tactics
The one touch squad controls became boring and repetitive
Extremely short missions
Some over-difficult parts of the mission that involve constant reviving of yourself or squadmates.
annoying bugs and freezes
Horrible soundtracks
crappy ending

Overall, this game was okay, but it seriously looks like a rushed idea for more moola. I really recommend that you should look at something else for a squad based shooter.
