Republic Commando overall is a great game. The animation is great, the graphics are great, and the sound is superb. I would rate it a 5/5 except there are only three areas, and that you can only take to weapons at a time. One is the DC-15, a really lame gun that takes about five shots to kill a battle droid, and you also hold one of the weapons you find. So overall I rate it 4/5.

I know what most people will probably think, does realistic style commando combat work with Star Wars? The answer is yes my friends, a big three letter word YES. For those who have wanted to play in the shoes of a commando trooper instead of a jedi knight, now is your chance.

Set after Episode 2, but before Episode 3, Republic Commando follows the adventures of Delta Squad, and elite commando unit of the republic. You are 38, with Sev, Scorch, and Fixer as your teammates. They'll work with you, setting up sniper positions, setting up traps, and aid you in combat. The commandos themselves are great to listen to, as you can't help but laugh at many of the one liners they deliver. You'll fight on Geonosis, on a Republic Assault Ship (Early star destroyer), and on the wookie homeworld as well. The game is very replayable, as I found myself playing it again and again. The story is fairly short though, if you've played games like this before, you can beat it in 2 to 3 days. However, it's still a great game. Plus everytime you complete a campaign, you get extras to boot. You'll see the making of Republic Commando, production art, voice actors, sound effects specials, and so forth.

The game isn't completely perfect, being a store release. It has a few bugs (As noted by PCGamer), but this doesn't stop the game from being entertaining. As with most store released games, they'll eventually be patched over time. It's also important to note that, from the story, a possible sequal may be coming up. But that's all I'll say.

If you love Star Wars, but also love commando style combat where tactical combat is your partake, along with lots of shooting, action, and some great one liner comedy, Star Wars: Republic Commando is for you!

the best "squad/team commanding" game so far. the graphics are amazing. the jokes that your squad says during the missions are sarcastics and really creatively funny. you have the feeling of a real military operation since everyone in entertainment wants the feeling of realism nowadays.

one of the feature that many pro-top-reviewers (like gamespot.com, PCGamer, EB Games) liked a lot is the one-touch squad command. at first i felt, like many, one-touch command? after the 1st mission, i understood how it worked. and believe me, it's way better than in SOCOM US Navy SEALs (worst "commanding" game i've ever played). your AI teammates obeys or even do actions according to the situation better than anybody would have expected (unlike in SOCOM US Navy SEALs were your guys stays in plain sight when ennemies arrive or doesn't act according to the situation).

there are only 3 big long levels, and as a big FPS player, i say the gameplay is long enough unlike others who find it short. the ending gives you a hint that there might be an expansion or sequel to it.

graphics, sound, and especially gameplay are too amazing.
