STAR WARS™ Republic Commando

Great game. Too bad the mouse sensitivity can be slowed down. It was meant for older and slower pc's.

Fun game. Pretty good story. The only part I didn't like was how easy it is to blow through ammo. I spent more of my time in the game knifing everything to death because of how weak the blaster rifle is.

This is my first time ever playing the game, never got around to playing it in 2005. That being said, the graphics hold up very well in my opinion. Being able to command your squad to do different actions based on the context with just a press of a button is a very nice feature. I do feel that the game becomes frustrating at times due to the teammate AI, I felt there were a few sections where I had to do all of the work myself because the AI was always getting knocked out. Demolishing a barrier, healing my teammates when they were knocked down, then healing myself, then healing them again, and so on. Despite that however the game as a whole is very fun and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes first person shooter games and/or games set in the Star Wars Universe.

The game gives a unique perspective on the SW universe with a cool command system, immersive helmet effects and sadly spongy enemies.

and, it's good! However, for me, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is still my fav star wars action game... there's just something about that Unreal engine, despite being 2 years older, it looked/played better. Anyway, how was my experience with RC, I thought it was good overall. There were some excellent sections that were genuinely tense (end of chapter 2 comes to mind). I haven't played the third mission yet (Kashyyk), but I'll be getting to it soon. The enemy AI is decent, the squad AI is good, and the shooting feels OK as well (which says a lot, considering a lot of games from that era have extremely dated/clunky shooting). Storywise, the clone wars are kind of meh, but the game did a decent job to vary the gameplay so you're not just fighting droids the whole game. Overall a positive experience... kind of a 3.5/5 for me, so 4 stars does the game more justice than 3. If you've never played it, it is still worth a try even this late.
