Lucasarts hits the mark with Republic Commando!

I know what most people will probably think, does realistic style commando combat work with Star Wars? The answer is yes my friends, a big three letter word YES. For those who have wanted to play in the shoes of a commando trooper instead of a jedi knight, now is your chance.

Set after Episode 2, but before Episode 3, Republic Commando follows the adventures of Delta Squad, and elite commando unit of the republic. You are 38, with Sev, Scorch, and Fixer as your teammates. They'll work with you, setting up sniper positions, setting up traps, and aid you in combat. The commandos themselves are great to listen to, as you can't help but laugh at many of the one liners they deliver. You'll fight on Geonosis, on a Republic Assault Ship (Early star destroyer), and on the wookie homeworld as well. The game is very replayable, as I found myself playing it again and again. The story is fairly short though, if you've played games like this before, you can beat it in 2 to 3 days. However, it's still a great game. Plus everytime you complete a campaign, you get extras to boot. You'll see the making of Republic Commando, production art, voice actors, sound effects specials, and so forth.

The game isn't completely perfect, being a store release. It has a few bugs (As noted by PCGamer), but this doesn't stop the game from being entertaining. As with most store released games, they'll eventually be patched over time. It's also important to note that, from the story, a possible sequal may be coming up. But that's all I'll say.

If you love Star Wars, but also love commando style combat where tactical combat is your partake, along with lots of shooting, action, and some great one liner comedy, Star Wars: Republic Commando is for you!
