Begun, the Clone Wars has 1
Star Wars games have been apparent in the industry for almost as long as video games themselves. However, perhaps the largest load of games came in light of the arrival of the prequels. No matter how you feel about the actual films, you cannot deny that some quality video game titles were produced in that time, particularly during the sixth generation of consoles. Republic Commando, LucasArts' 2005 offering, stands out among the crowd. Not just amongst other great Star Wars games, but with some ...

A dim, cut and dry Star Wars light show 3
With an introduction so slick it couldn't have been trusted to be the game's tutorial, Star Wars: Republic Commando starts off strong, but never quite harnesses the strength of its opening sequence. You get to see the short version of how a clone was created, trained and purposed in the Clone War era of the Star Wars universe. Cast into the role of Delta Squad's commander, you are the leader of the ragtag group of superior clones that do the dirty work other clones are too basic to do. You, your...

One Hit Wonder 0
Star Wars Republic Commando was one of my favorite games at last year's E3. Thankfully, the game has developed nicely in the last nine months. Republic Commando doesn't necessarily offer much in terms of innovation as it borrows heavily from other games, but thankfully they chose some of the best games of this generation to borrow from. The HUD has the in-the-helmet view like Metroid. The gameplay feels much like Halo. And you are the leader of Delta squad, a four man team of clone sol...

One of a Kind 1
(I review using a slightly different method. Score is based on fun-factor and not quality of a game)This is a golden oldie. OK, not quite. It's about four years old and Star Wars: Republic Commando is easily one of my favorite games. I used to play it frequently, but I sold it and didn't feel much regret because I picked up an Xbox 360 later. Well, I just bought Star Wars: Best of PC, which includes five Star Wars games, and got a walk down memory lane.Star Wars Republic Commando is a squad-base...

A fantastic game hobbled by the timeframe it exists in. 0
This is my third time through the entire game. I've owned it since release but just recently bought it on Steam for the convenience of being able to install and play it on a whim. Here's my bottom line opinion on Republic Commando; it's the second-best Star Wars first-person shooter. Just below Dark Forces. It has the unfortunate distinction of being the best game to come out of the prequel trilogy, and doesn't escape the taint of the prequel's legacy. I may even like the ideas behind Republic ...

Ambitious 0
Games based on movies rarely hit the mark. Developers are rushed to meet strict movie release deadlines, and on top of that it's difficult to translate a two-hour movie into a longer interactive adventure. By basing Republic Commando on the entire Star Wars prequel trilogy, Lucas Arts had the freedom of adhering to no movie in particular, and created an experience that's enjoyable regardless of your knowledge of the films. The result is a relentlessly entertaining shooter based in the Star Wars ...

1 Part Halo + 1 Part Rainbow 6 + 1 Part George Lucas = Goodness 0
Star Wars: Republic Commando is one of those games that may actually surprise you. As of this moment it's the first and only attempt at an FPS set in the new Star Wars universe since the Dark Forces series. It's a super solid shooter with a dash of squad tactics mixed in, and once you've played it for awhile you'll be wondering why Lucasarts hasn't made a sequel by now. The game is set just before the events of Episode II as you play the commander of an elite clone unit. A unit used for stealth...

From a lazy star wars ripoff, to a really enjoyable game. 1
When i first played this game, it was only for 15 minutes, before i felt like i had had enough. The bubbly character models and restricted controls, reminded me all too much that this was a console port. But when i bought the best of star wars bundle i decided to give it another try - and i was not disappointed. Sure the graphics and the controls still wasn't up the the PC standard, but after the fist few levels i no longer focused on that. To sum it all up, the mix of the simple squad mechani...

Star Wars Republic Commando Review - Halo Empire 0
Star Wars is a great franchise . wamprats getting bulseyed , jedi squaring off and now we have this . The greatest Star wars shooter ever .

The leader of a kickass group of commando troopers sent by the republics clone army to do their very gory dirty work . An when i say gore most think it's STAR WARS THERE IS NO WAY IT'S GORY! . Boy are they wrong the game sp...

Star Wars - Jedi Knights = Fun 0
Equal parts tactical strategy game and first-person shooter, Republic Commando proves itself greater than the sum of its parts. Enemy encounters are varied and fun, in a way that only sci-fi shooters can be with their assortment of alien and robotic adversaries. Squad commands are doled out in a system that is about as intuitive as possible, at least until voice recognition works its way into the realm of gaming. On top of it all, great writing that de-emphasizes the Jedi Order does something th...

going commando 0
Star wars has had first person. Its had lightsabers. Its had massive epic battles. Now it is going into uncharted waters with squad based play. Lucas arts is just pwning newbs left and right. This game is another ground breaker for the universe created by George Lucas. The squad, even though clones, are quite different. You got your demolitions, sniper, computer guy, and leader. Although you and everyone can do every single job. Graphics are stunning, especially with how your visor shows oil or ...

Great game with some major flaws 1
This game is a really fun game... at the begging. You play as a " Republic Commando " a clone trouper comparable to the halo series master chief. They are in a squad of about four " Super Soldiers " created solely for war. In fact this game has a lot in common with halo, buckets of blood [blue blood splashes all over your screen even though its teen rated], sometimes confusing single player, Great Graphics etc. But the one major flaw is the multiplayer SUCKS!!! its not very much fun not addic...
