Lucasarts has created many games based on the legendary Star Wars franchise. Most games would feature Jedi Knights, fighter pilots or even bounty hunters as the protagonists. Star Wars Republic Commando is a change from all that. Here a review on Republic Commando.
Plot: The game stars a clone commando simply known as Delta 38 a.k.a. Boss or Delta Lead. Boss leads a team of rough and tough commandos named Delta Squad. Despite the fact they were created from the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter, Jango Fett, each of them have their own distinct personality. Although he inherited Jango's voice, Boss spends his time giving his squad mates specific jobs while blasting droids, Geonosians, and Trandoshans. Delta 40 a.k.a. Fixer is an expert slicer (Star Wars term for hacker) and he pretty much prefers to call his fellow commandos by their numbers rather than their cool nicknames. Delta 62 a.k.a. Scorch is a demolitions expert and comedian of the team. Scorch would spew out a few jokes and one-liners even in the heat of battle. Delta 07 a.k.a. Sev is an elite sniper and a bit anti-social. Whenever the odds are stacked against Delta Squad, Sev wouldn't hesitate to fight dirty. Delta Squad's adventures span from The Battle of Geonosis to the Battle of Kashyyyk. Pretty good tie-in to Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. 5/5
Graphics: Lucasarts did an awesome job with the graphics although you may not see everything thanks to Delta Lead's helmet but still, they look pretty cool. 5/5
Sound: Republic Commando really brings out true Stars Wars sound but I'm gonna have to knock it down a couple of points because of microphone feedback in the first level of the Kashyyyk campaign and on some parts you wouldn't hear the characters' voices. 3/5
Gameplay: With a push of a button, you can make your commandos do jobs from setting detonation bombs to blasting your enemies from a distance. True innovation right there. The game sometimes though would suffer a little bit from dropped frame-rate but that doesn't stop it from being a truly exciting game. 4/5
If you're a fan of Star Wars or first-person shooters or both, give Star Wars Republic Commando a try. Although the game is short, it really is a game worth playing. 5/5
