Live and breath Star Wars

So, there's not much to add which hasn't already been said, but this game is extremely immersive. Fully recommended to anyone who likes Star Wars and/or FPS, as the game shines in it's gameplay aspects as well. Only thing I had an issue with were a few graphical bugs, which could be attributed to it's age and the aiming feeling a bit off, at least on my PC. Other than that, you really feel for your squadmates, who all were animated like a real elite commando squad, while keeping their different characteristics through the intense and well made voice acting. Only Thing I still wish they would have added is an actual co-op campaign. The game feels like it's perfectly made for that, but it's just not included, which is truly a humongously missed chance. If there ever will be a Remaster or Remake, I hope they include this. The rest they should keep as is.

An honest opinion

I didn't play the game back in 2005, so this is going to be a review coming from a completely fresh and honest experience: Star Wars Republic Commando is fine - sometimes a good fun, but if you're not a blinded Clone Wars fanboy, it's often an average, but overall absolutely servicable game. Need to mention though, the voice acting (and also the sound design) is phenomenal, the personality of your team mates give a good amount of charm to the game. Anything besides that... well. First of all I couldn't make the game run in widescreen, no matter which instructions I tried to follow. Also, I'm sure this looked really great back in 2005, but I rather find most of it a bit bland today. And the fact that maps have a lot of copy-pasted elements didn't help at all - not to mention levels are almost completely linear. Combat is also a bit of hit and miss (sometimes), some enemies are irritatingly bullet sponges, and also your team mates can be quite dumb sometimes. Still, I think the overall squad leader experience was implemented pretty well - just don't forcelf yourself to play the game on Hard mode, no matter what. Remember, the game is supposed to be fun, and difficulty was designed here in a lazy way sadly. By the way, Republic Commando likes to overwhelm you with hordes of enemies - which I gotta admit though, at least feel pretty authentic. Last thoughts: if you like Star Wars at least a bit and/or arcade first person shooters with squads, get the game whenever it's on sale. For a few bucks, the game can give you some good fun - even with its obvious shortcomings. Don't believe the fanboy reviews, it's far from that good, but still, it's a decent game.

ooh is it good!

I played this the first time in 2024. It took some time to set up the right keybindings but when I did the game starts incredible and never stops being incredible. It's a pretty short game and for me that's a good thing. Constant action, shooting and commanding your deltas. If you like star wars this game is essential to try. The world in this game is detailed and very much star wars.

An underrated Gem. aged well too.

''The Squad is your Weapon.'' Republic Commando is a well made FPS that manage to be very atmospheric and immersive thanks to good soundtrack, voice acting, mission design, and game mechanics. The only significant problem i have with it, is that i feel like it ended a bit soon (because i was having fun!). One of te most unique and underrated Star Wars game. I loved it on my Xbox back in the day, replayed it recently from GOG to see if it held up after 20 years... and yes, it mostly does. +Pros: *interesting and intuitive squad tactics mechanic, all done trough 4 simple order buttons and 1 interaction button. Easy to use, yet feels like there is depth and requires thinking in how and where to place your squad to create kill zones, or so as to cover every angle when defending, cover yourself when advancing, etc... Surprisingly rather good AI for your squad members (especially for a 2004 game). They usually don't derp around much, they do what you expect, you feel like you can rely on them. *Very atmospheric and immersive, feels like you've never really seen the star wars universe in this way before. The 3 squad members have a surprising amount of personality for being all clones, and you feel attached to them by the end. They have good VA, and just enough friendly trash talk with each other to be fun, but not to much so as to be annoying or break the atmosphere. The tone is more dark and serious than what you're used to from most other star wars media. *is actually challenging on Hard mode. (i recommand to play it on hard since it absolutely requires you to use the squad as your main weapon, and work as a team, which i felt was more fun and interesting to play this way). -Cons: *A little short. 7-10 hours depending on how much you die. There is minimal replayability once the campaign is done. The multiplayer was good back then, but nobody plays it anymore obviously. *Over-reliance on endlessly-spawning enemie in some places can feel a bit cheap and frustrating.

Excellent Star Wars shooter

Star Wars Republic Commando is my favourite Star Wars game of all time - but that does not mean it is perfect - not by a long shot. Pros: - Excellent soundtrack, which is a mixture of original Star Wars music composed by John Williams as well as a few tracks by Jesse Harlin. These are specifically composed for Republic Commando and feature Mandalorian war chants to create an excellent mix. Really good stuff! - The length of the game. Some people might see this as a con, but I think it is good that the game is not longer than it is. The credits will roll after around 6 to 8 hours and based on the fact that a lot of mission objectives are extremely similar and sometimes tedious, it is a good thing they are not drawn out any longer. - The game allows the player to command his sqaud to perform certain tactical manouvers, like taking a sniper or grenade position or attack one target specifically. It is one of the aspects that works very well, but could be developed even further, if ever a sequel was to be released. Cons: - This game came out in 2003 and the age is visible. - Mission objectives are often very similar and boring (pressing E on a panel) - no coop mode. This game practically screams for a coop mode where each of the 4 squad members could be controlled by a player. Sadly this is not the case. - From a technical standpoint, it can be tricky to get this game running on modern systems without issues. There are mods that do that, look them up. All in all a great game (my favourite, as I mentioned before), but if there ever will be a sequel, there are so many things that could be improved
