I was surprised with the new games out how many people are playing what is essentially an older game now. And yes, it's still fun..

Good, but short

The game was a blast, if a bit short. That, and the lack of bump mapping support for newer video cards (3850 here) are the only reasons I pulled one star.

BUY THIS!

Intense team work/action game. Great graphics, cutscenes, and weaponry. Do yourself a favor and buy this!

This is a game I've had since it came out originally in 2005, and I keep coming back to it. The action is great, the graphics hold up well, and the squad controls (and the squad members themselves) are brilliant and very easy to use. This game also holds the distinction of being the only shooter I've died in because I was laughing at something (fortunately dying is no big deal since your squad members can resuscitate you...unless they go down too)

As a star wars game, it succeeds brilliantly in capturing a much more in-the-trenches feel of the clone wars than the movies even though it takes us to the same places (geonosis and kashyyyk). This is partially because with one small, green exception there are no jedi in the game, which leaves you and your squad to do all the work without any forcepowered cheating :P The other thing that bears pointing out is your squadmates themselves. Despite being clones, they all have a unique character and provide a good amount of comic relief, Sev and Scorch especially. They're very much one of the strengths of this game.

There's a technical problem with nvidia 8000 series graphics cards where you have to set the bump mapping to low or the game won't play. Hopefully that'll be fixed in a driver update sometime soon.

The worst thing about the game is the ending leaves it wide open for a sequel...and three years on, no word of one. Delta squad has appeared in the republic commando novel series, so, their future may play out there. Still hoping for Imperial Commando, though :P

I've been ripped off!!

I bought this game and installed it only to find out that there is a problem that creeps up after playing for an hour then rebooted my system. I get a checkerboard screen with a red on blue rectangles. I also tried this on 2 different pc's of mine that are way differnt and had the same problem. Thanks Lucasarts for supporting your product so well!!!

more fun on pc than the console versions

I already had this game on XBOX and PS2 but the graphics and the controls were not all that great. I decided to buy this for my pc and I have to say the experience was much better and it was actually easier to kill those dodging geonosians!

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!

Great Game

Three years after its release the graphics are still rather good compared to many new games. The storyline is well done and the game is incredibly immersive.

Also the AI features in the game are just now starting to see widespread usage in FPS games. This game was ahead of its time.

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.

Youve never seen Star Wars Like this.

A first in the Star Wars Universe. Republic commando is a First-Person Team Tactical shooter. Based on the clone war campaign on Kashyyyk. RC is a fast paced and gritty shooter that every one can like.
