Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Although there have been plenty of decent Star Wars games in the past, LucasArts have had a lot of trouble producing a top quality game based on the new prequels--but Republic Commando looks like it could change all that.
Republic Commando puts you in a four man squad of elite clonetroopers, that act as a sort of SAS version of the standard stormtrooper-alikes seen in Episode II. It’s your job to order the squad about while engaging in a spot of first person shooting action as you go. In other words it’s Star Wars does Rainbow Six--the squad-based shooter being just about the only genre of game that hasn’t been Star Warsified up until now.
Surprisingly things seem to be turning out rather well with some decent graphics and an easy to use, if slightly perfunctory, squad control interface. The game also takes much inspiration from the GameCube’s Metroid Prime with an excellent helmet view that does a lot to immerse you in the game and convince you that you really are the sci-fi version of Andy McNab.
Perhaps the only problem evident at this stage is that the battles are noticeably smaller scale than the ones from the movie with rarely more than half a dozen enemies attacking at any one time, rather than the hundreds seen in the film. An online multiplayer mode should help to shore things up somewhat, although the artificial intelligence of the bad guys is good enough to ensure you can still have plenty of fun on your own. --David Jenkins

- FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!Star Wars RC is an amazing game. I have completed it over and over again and I must say it is one of the finest fps games ever. My only gripe is that i won't play on 64 bit vista (which I have) so I can't play it any more but apart from that the game is fantastic. The gameplay is solid with a gripping story and interesting plot twists. Although the types of tactics and assaults are similar, none are the same and each one makes you want to keep playing. If you only get one game this year..get this ... Read More

- A good buyI recently bought this game to cheer myself up and boy did it do the trick. This game pleasantly suprised me with the quality of the graphics and although the game play is fun it lacks an air of difficulty. Republic commando allows you to control a team of 4 commandos during the clone wars and as another suprise doent contain jedis. You follow the back story line which is nice as it seems the game doesnt have to follow a srtict line to please fans, which gives it an air of mystery, which can only ... Read More

- Halo turns Star WarsThis game is amazing, if maybe a bit short. It has great graphics runs just fine, it is overall a great game and i would recommend it. It is similar to Halo.

- Nice but shortYes! A lightsaber free Star Wars game! About time too.
I was addicted to this game at first, I really was. But after 2 6 hours sessions of playing it (estimate) it just finishes. The shortest game ever. But on a positive angle, Lucasarts didn't have much of an oppurtunity to mess it up. So what's in the game, you'll like.
The game takes place from the end of Episode II and leads up to roughly the beginning of Episode III. You play as the same character, a squad commander, ... Read More

- What? A Star Wars game with no Jedi?Say it isn't so. 'Fraid it is. And all the better for it.
I've been waiting for something like this after the Dark Forces games - I wanted an opposite game that made you play as a stormtrooper, helping the Empire take over the galaxy (evil laugh inserted here). This game is set during SW: Episodes 2 and 3 and you don't even see a hint of Jedi - only other troopers on the ground. The best thing about this is that you feel that if you're on a covert operation, then you're on a covert ... Read More
