This game is pretty cool u are in a 4 man squad made up of you the Leader (Orange) Scorch the demoshing guy (yellow) Fixer the guy who hacks into stuff (green) and Sev the sniper (red). I in this game it basicly is the battle of geonsis and wht happens from there to eposode 3. And amazingly it is almost just like halo! Ad in some parts has more blood to it like when you stab a alien with your knife the blood shoots on your visor (yes this game has more than robots). anyhow this game is becoming out dated so by it here. you'll love it

I bought this game for my 12 year old son. He has stated that it is awesome and easily the best of all of the Star Wars XBox games. He recommends it for anyone, young or old, that loves Star Wars or battle games.

Republic Commando is a must for Medal of Honor fans

I don't know tons about this game but from what I have seen, it will probably be one of the best first person shooters we have had since Call of Duty. You are a republic commando commanding a squad of clones deep behind enemy lines. With a click of a button your squad will follow your commands and help you fight.

You will vist many diffrent locations like Geneosis, a Republic gunship, and the wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk. Each in fine detail. Over 12 new weapons, and villians old and new. The squad is your finest weapon though. Strategy is important as it is vital. So do you like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty and are looking for another first person shooter to fit your star wars life? Than preorder Star Wars Republic Commando today!

Fun game but outdated from the start

Republic Commando was an awesome game the first time I played it. I believed the AI was incredible and that the ability to command an intelligent squad was amazing. Then about a week later I played Brothers in Arms. Brothers in Arms beats the hell out of any game Ive ever played and the AI is phenomenal. After playing BOA the once amazing AI of Republic Commando seemed childish and sluggish to control. Brothers in Arms sets the bar for intelligent AI.
This is still a marvelous game and I would reccomend it to Star Wars fans and FPS lovers.
But if you want to step up to the major leagues of squad based combat go straight for Brothers in Arms.

2nd best starwars game YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I can see that alot of people here like this game. I for one also liked it... I'm 15 and i'm trying to sound smart, so bare with me here. Anyhow, i'm not a Star Wars fan, but I know the concept of the whole thing. Jedis, war, chaos (Heh heh heh..). Now, when I bought this game, the clerk told me "the controls are a bit awkward, but you'll get use to it in about half an hour or so". I come home saying "Aw jeez, i'm going to have trouble with this." I mean, the store clerk looked like he knew his games. Ah ha! But I guess I was wrong. I picked up the controller and bashed my way through all of the levels. I found that the enemies were hard, and I was glad of that. I mean, almost all the first person games that I play, I walk in a room and like.. Well, it looks like I could just beat the dude down with the butt of my gun. Which I usually do, and it's very very fun. The weapon system is good, but very limited. The graphics are amazing. The way that I would kick a carcass across the floor, just by walking towards it amused me.. (It was quite fun.. Just walking back and forth on a carcass.) I liked the fact that each of your squadmates had his own personality. The convorsations that go back and forth between them would keep.. Well, not many people entertained, but I sure kept me up. When me and my squadmates die, it's not them to blame. It's you. You're the squad leader, and you're to blame if an operation goes wrong. You make the wrong choices, and lead them into wrong areas. While I usually breached the doors to get through the missions, there were times when I just sliced the panel. You were supplied with options that were right and wrong. Some areas where you would plant your squadmates for sniping positions were useless. They were just put there so that you'd think you need to use it. I'm glad that jedi's weren't stuck into this game. I for one, didn't really ever like controlling them. I would reccomend anybody to play this game, if you can put up with just playing the campaign. If you like a Counter Strike style of game play.. Well, the way they move is very similar to Counter Strike. Only online, during campaign, the actions are very realistic. (LIke when your squad mates beat down a droid or a Geonoshion). So this is what I give this game.

Fun Factor: 4/5
The game was fun, but it wasn't 'that' fun. The multiplayer stunk, but the campaign ruled.

Controls: 5/5
No problems controlling them.

Graphics: 4/5
They were good, but they weren't great. Some crates or Wookie Carcass' were just repeated.

Originality: 3/5
It was very much like Halo, it was twisted a bit. And the squad control has also been done, just not in the way Republic Commando had made it.

Overall: BOO YAH!

Sincerely,
The 2nd smart guy to post a review. ;)

(It.. It's a joke..)

When Ghost Recon Meets Star Wars!!!!!!!!!; Two Thumbs Up!!!!

Star Wars Republic Commando is a breath of fresh air for the Star Wars genere!!! Like I said it is a strategic first - person shooter like Ghost Recon except with kick @$$ sci-fi weapons, the vast environments which include: Genosis, a Republic Assusalt Ship, and Kayhssk; which the game spans out on!!! You play as a an elite Clone Trooper unit called Delta Force, specially trained commandos trained for the most dangerous and deadly situations!!! They are trained to be silent and swift and can make noise, lots of noise if needed!!! This elite squad of commandos include 07 "Sev"-he likes to get some head shots from a distance- sniper specialist; 40 "Fixer"- he likes to slice through systems and hack into enemy networks -computer specialist; 62 "Scorch'- he likes to blow stuff up - Demo specialist!!! You play as 38 the squad leader!!! It is up to you to direct your squad and to keep order during a deadly fire fight or engagement!!! You get a special weapon with different types of modifactions which has regular blaster rifle, sniper zoom, and anti - armor charges!!! During the game you must rely on your squad and they will rely on you!!! I included in this review an outline of the Story, Weapons, and the game in general!!! I even have some buying advice and ways to save money!!!

Game Outline:

Graphics:
Some of the best ever ,almost seems really their combating against those Seperatists scum bags!!! Great pixles and shading effects with smooth character design and enviroments!!! Truly unique!!! 5/5

Environments/Level Design:
The environments are awesome with great graphics, level design, and always unique!!! It was cool how you went from Genosis- a desert filled with lots of droids and Genosionans, to a mysterious Republic Assault Ship with the structure twisting and turning and with the enemy setting ambushes, for example coming out of the vents!!! You can also use the environment to your advantage like setting up traps or blowing your way through walls!!! It is unique and always suprises you!!! 5/5

Weapons:
The best variety I have ever seen, from different attachments yo your gum from picking up enemy weapons and using them, from the rocket turret, from the Wookie Crossbow and Wookie Heat Sensitive Rocket Launcher, to enemy compulsive and beam weaponry!!! The environment is also a weapon for example laying out traps or shooting an explosive crate!!! You also get a big variety of gernades from Thermal Detonators, to Flash-bang gernades, to sonic charges, and ion gernades(a droids worse nightmare)!!! Weapon design and combos are perfect!!! 5/5

A.I. Intellengence:
The Commandos are almost as elite as you but, they will fall apart without your guidence!!! They will be able to cover you set up bombs, slice through computers, blow stuff up and to get out of the way of a gernade of explosion, and opperate turrets!!! They will rarely heal themselves though which is up to you!!! They even have a sense of humor and are as elite as real commandos!!! The enemy is also intellengent, for example if you throw a gernade at them they will sometimes throw it back!!! Some of those slaver mercanaries get on my nerveres in a good way I suppose!!! 5/5

Multi-Player:
Awesome, online play with great maps!!! Split screen is awesome too, this is some great stuff!!! 5/5

Overall, this game is one of the best games of all time from start to finish which shows more of the soldiers role instead of the jedi and force stuff!!! This was one of the best First-Person Shooter from a strategigic angle I have ever played!!! Both Tom Clancy fans, and Star War fans will find something great out of this!!! This game is so good even people who don't like Star Wars will see this as a materpiece!!! This is the absolute best Star Wars game by far, it is pretty hard to beat something like this!!!

In This game you will rely on certain tatics and commands to keep your squad alive!!! Like I said before you will rely on them and they will rely on you!!! It is awesome how you can set up your squad in sniping positions, anti-armor and gernading positions, opperating turrets, slicing through computers, and blowing stuff up!!! There are 4 main command though that you must know how to use if you want to survive!!! They are the following:

Secure Area:

This command is used for when you need an area cleared or need to hold position or deffensive strong point!!! It is very useful, for example you can have your squad hold by a bacta station and set up a deffensive point of fire while you heal your squad!!! You don't have to do all the dirty work if you use the correct tatics!!! This is a great tatic when under heavy fire!!! The cool thing is that it can be used for a offensive or deffensive purpose, a great move if used wisely!!!

Form Up:

This tatic is used to have your squad regroup to where you are!!! An example if you screw up, and have to get your squad together to regroup!!! During a fire fight and you need to fire at a specific point or if you need back up!!! This is a deffensive tatic used to get your squad together!!! In a fire fight this could save your squad if used correctly!!!!

Search and Destroy:

Is used if you need your squad to move, at a fast pace while engaging the enemy!!! You can easily direct your squad during an ambush in this position or have your squad concentrate their fire on one target!!! This is an offensive tatic when advancing on a objective!!!

Cancel Maneuver:

This tatic is used for two purposes, the first being when you have to advance you order your commandos , cancel maneuver, and they will stop whatever they are doing ;like holding a sniping position, for example!!! Also when things get rough during a fire fight and you have to re-position your squad or just have to get them out of their, this is the command!!!

These tatics and commands are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the seemingly endless posibilties and options!!! I give credit to George Lucas for creating this awesome Star Wars game that seems more like Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six 3 in the galaxy far, far away!!! This game is just plainly awesome and is very addictive!!! I like the change of being a bad @$$ commando then being some kind of jedi who uses the force or has a lightsaber!!! This game is on the same level of greatness than the Halo games and the Tom Clancy games!!! It is hard to come up with anything this good, which makes it hard to beat too!!! In my opinion this has to be the best put together Star Wars game of all time!!! I wish more games could be like this!!! Great job to the people who made this possible!!!! I strongly reccomend this masterpiece and work of gaming greatness!!!! My final score has to be 5/5!!!! This is a good change for the Star Wars genere, I love it, it was sad when I finished the game it left me wanting more!!! The Online play and multi player are darn fun too!!!
... I only give a brief descriptition of the story, so if you want to know more buy the game, it is worth every penny!!!

The Story:

The game starts off with a cut-scene at Kamino and tells the story about how the commandos became to be and introduces you to your destiny of being the leader of the commandos!!! Their are three campaign maps:

Genosis (Zero Hour:The beginning of the Clone Wars)/Day: 1

This campaign takes place during the events of episode 2!!!!
In this campaign your mission is your eliminate a top official of the Sepratists and help any Clone Troopers who need some help!!! After that you move into Genosionan territory to destroy an important droid factory, which would cripple their attack strength!!! you must fight catutiosly and tatically if you want survive!!! Finally, you fight your way onto, which includes lots of droids, Super Droids, and even a Spider Droid, Sepratist Capital Ship and sabotage it's systems and retrive launch codes to hault their evacuation of Genosis!!!!! Teamwork is the key to finishing this!!! Awhile after you get on the ship you must split up and each disable a part of the ship' the key to this is to stay smart and carefully take out the Super Battle Droids, it isn't two hard once you get the hang of it!!! After, rigging the ship to blow they must get the codes and get off the sip alive!!! You must move fast and use your head to survive!!! Once you get the codes you are home free and have completed your job on Genosis!!!

Republic Assault Ship (Day: 367)

This campaign takes place a year after the conflict on Genosis, during the middle of the war!!! Your first mission begins when a Republic Assault Ship that went missing, suddenly appears mysteriously!!! Your mission is to find out what happened and download specific info!!! For most of the commando you are split up so this is a test of your skills as a commando!!! Almost immediatly things start to get ugly starting off with wierd scavenger droids and the disappearing of two of the commandos!!! It get's better it turns out that slavers have taken control of the ship and all H*LL, breaks loose!!!*note* watch out for Ambushes!!!!! After you finish your primary objective you must regroup with the commandos and find out what is going on!!! You and "Scorch"are the only two that remain as you fight your way through a whole army of those slavers but, after that you find "Sev" and help him out!!! you then move on and fight your way through the detenion block and help "Fixer" out!!! Now that the group is reunited you must elimannate the threat and escape!!! Well it turns out that a Seperatist Battle Ship comes by and gives you a warm welcome!!! This is when the fighting gets real intense and tests your skills as a leader!!! You must try to hold off an entire army!!! After, running from hanger to hanger, you must now hold a position, nothing new for this level until you have a walker to help greet tham and blow them to "kingdom come"!!!! It's not over yet you must assist the ship that has come to rescue you by getting the ship's weaponry operational you must slice through 3 terminals while fighting off a lot droids, I suggest you have two people defend the position while the other two slice through the first two which leaves 3 commandos defending the position while, one person takes care of the last one!!! After completing this campaign you should give yourself a pat on the back!!!

Kayhssk (Day: 735)

This campaign takes place before the events in episode 3!!! This is the third and final campaign which is towards the closing days of the war!!! Your primary objective is to free leader of the Wookie Resistance and fight against the Seperaist forces!!! The fate of the war is in your hands!!! After freeing the leader you discover that General Grieveous is on the planet and then are attacked by his body guards, which are very fast, but if you got this far in the game it shouldn't be too hard, but not, too easy either!!! You must then move and rally Resistance forces and cripple enemy forces!!! Complications then strike, when a large ammount of ammo from the ammo dump falls into the wrong hands you must save it as well as the surviving wookie!!! You must then cut their supply lines, by destroying an important bridge, which would put a dagger through their heart but, it is easier said then done!!! The Seperatists don't just hand you the bridge they throw at you Super Battle Droids, Destoyer Droids/ Droid Decas, and a Spider Droid!!! After Depleting their supply lines, you must liberate the rest of the city and pursue Grieveous!!! Well... he gets away and you get to fight the freak show again!!! It is easy with the two Rocket turetets *note watch out for them during the earlier parts of the campaign!!! Afterwards you must reactivate the power deffense grid!!!After the grid is operational, you,then must take down a fleeing Seperatist Capital ship, for this task you must mend 4 differet turrets in different positions!!! This will be you toughest challenge yet fighting through lots of resistance eveuntally spliting up!!! After this you fire on the ship!!! After the ship finally blows up the game is over!!! When you radio in to your team something happens to Sev and thier is nothing you can do as you are ordered back to command!!! In the ending cut scene it shows you the Republic Invasion beginning which, leads to episode 3!!!!
The End

...that was just a brief outline of the story so if you want to know more buy it, you won't be sorry I promise you that!!!

I bought this game on march 1 and i beat it today!! So i can give a full review...This game has the most innovative squad control system ever used or even made, I was able to control my squad by pointing my reticle then holding the A button and pressing a key on tthe directional pad. It is sooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo simple! Full Spectrum warrior tried to integrate something likke this but not as effective as Republic Commando. The story overall should be like a movie although the ending is somewhat dissapointing. all in all this was one of the best Star Wars games out there I highly reccomend it if you liked Halo 2.

This Game is Sweeeeeet!!!

Star Wars Republic Commando is one of the sweetest games in the whole world! I like it because it has first person shooter and because you're not just a wimpy clone trooper. You're an elite clone trooper!! You can choose from dozens of different weapons. Oh yeah, did I mention that you play as the leader of the elite clone squad? It's sweet! If you have an x box or a computer--get it!!
