Bit of the HALO experience in star wars

Ok, before someone cries for ''heresy'', let me explain myself. ( Half of this review will be spent discussing this theory, then we move on judging the actual product). SW: Republic commando is a strategic ( although sometimes it fails a little bit in this department) FPS inspired by many strategic FPS came before it. At the start, I made the simple analogy with ''band of brothers but in space'' ( which is also true but only if you stop on a surface level) but after some though, I noticed that it shares a lot of similarities also with the Halo saga, most notably two things: 1 - it was design to work for both console and PC, but clearly though primarily for the console, judging by the HUD, simplified strategic commands and shooting mechanics, ( plus , like Halo, shares the ability to create theme levels ( horror, infiltration inspired, ecc) and has a certain pace that is remarkably similar with the master chief saga), 2 - The settings, or rather, its massive soundtrack, which you could reply: ok, so what? Well, the whole point of the Halo saga was to create something memorable, and this was done by the feelings transmitted through surroundings and well, the music , which many FPS tries but little manage to came close to that feeling of glory and warrior's spirit that both Halo and SW:RC manage to impart, primarily, again, thanks to its soundtrack ( c'mon, tell me that Ka'rta Tor isn't one of the most well crafted piece you'll ever hear). Anyway, Finally speaking of the game itself, it's actually above pretty ok, and there's not nostalgy here : I played just some year ago and decided to play it again. Is it, however, truly worth it of 5 stars? mmmm no, and it's just enough for the four stars: the game isn't bad or anything, it just starts with great ideas but doesn't fully employ them. After a while, you'll feel a little monotony, but the game tries, to some extent, to not overstay its welcome. So, after all this, it's ok to buy it? YES, absolutely worth it!

A repetitive game with a lot of charm

I would say that this is a must-have for collectors of the star wars games, but I fear nostalgia has gotten into people's heads if they are saying this is a 5* game. It's very repetitive, the story is the classic - we have a generic mission, go and complete it and so on, the loop gets old real quick and overall just isn't something that pulls you and engages. Buy if heavily discounted, otherwise don't

A Decent Shooter, Great Fan Service

I originally had this game on Xbox, and while I enjoyed the theme, the setting, the characters etc. overall the game was sort of OK. I'd play it when I wanted to be a clone commando, never otherwise. But now that I got this on the PC I have to say this version is SO much better! The character models have all this extra detail I don't remember from the Xbox version, aiming is enjoyable and actually allows you to hit the soft spots of the tougher enemies and the squad mate AI seems to be improved (or I just know how to use it better). Overall it's a nice shooter if you like shooters, and a great game if you want to play as one of the clone troopers, even if it's as a part of a special squad. I enjoy the action when it's there but for someone who doesn't get kick out of Star Wars the less action packed sequences may be a bit boring. If you do enjoy Star Wars, the prequels or just the troopers, this game is well worth your while.

The best game I never wanted

I like Star Wars. I don't really like the Clone Wars saga. So when I tried this, I was expecting just another shooter with Clone Wars theme. But then the game sucked me in and I couldn't let it go until I finished it. You play as the leader of a Clone Commando unit of 4. Each of the other three members has a speciality: sniping, hacking, and demolitions. Together, you'll embark on campaigns in Geonosis, a derelict/ghost Republic starship, and Kashyyyk. While a Star Wars game, it feels closer to the ground as you play from the perspective of a soldier, the war feels more crude and lethal than in the movies. The central element of the game is your team. They are your arms and legs, they can revive you if you're down (sometimes along with a taunt), and their personalities will let you tell them apart by the end of the first campaign. The controls to manage your team are simple and effective, and overall, you never feel like babysitting the AI. On the other hand, the music just adds to the experience. It goes ambient most of the time, but there are a few very appropriate moments where it gets an epic tone. Looking back, the story feels a bit disconnected, but well, story has never been a central element of first person shooters, right? Despite that, the ending will surely stick with you for a while after. The graphics are decent for a 2005 game, but nothing to write home about, sound effects are not too special either, except for the quotes from your team which help to build their personalities. Overall, a great game, one of my favorite Star Wars games (second to KOTOR/KOTOR2).

It's hit or miss

Its progression isn't extensive nor complex, plot is linear, in-game decisions don't have permanent implications moving forward, graphics are outdated, in-game obstacles and enemies do not exhibit variations in behavior. However, I absolutely love this game; for me the replay value has been high and I use it to challenge myself and see if I get fall into a flow. The gameplay mechanics are simple but each replay can be different, as efficiency can be strained at the top difficulty. Not challenging as an FPS, but as a mental test of efficiency vs. tactical sustainability it can be played well.
