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. Its your job to order the squad about while engaging in a spot of first person shooting action as you go. In other words its Star Wars does Rainbow Six--the squad-based shooter being just about the only genre of game that hasnt 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 GameCubes 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

I had been playing Delta Force Land Warrior for 2 years and somehow missed the release of this game. What a mistake. It has everything with different soldier types, vehicles, team missions, anti cheat software for servers, different missions. OK - I have yet to see any team properly co-ordinate an attack but it takes longer to die than in Counter Strike and is less mindless. Buying the bundle rather than just Typhoon Rising gives extra vehicles and maps, increasing variety of play.

The best so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2006

I've played this game for almost 2 years now - so fair to say its gripped me!! The game is just awesome, work at getting a good connection speed by getting the right broadband/ hardware /graphics compromises and you will be rewarded with genuine heart pumping excitement. Some frustration with inept behavior from both teammates and opponents goes without saying and I hope will be addressed in later versions - perhaps a command structre Nova?? Team cooperation is difficult since the communications for fireteams is clunky, so much so that I have never ever seen it used to good effect, the usual result is you get frustrated, set up a fireteam try to coordinate it and die while tring to organise them, they respawn miles away and everyone gets fed up and goes their own way, should be able to respawn at the fireteam leaders position IMHO. Never the less this game is simply the best, I have played it for hundreds of hours which is pathetic but sooooooo good for stress, the escalation pack is an ok thing but the vehicle upgrades are a bit too much, you can still play the non escalation games as normal though so best of both worlds really. In summary at that price its a bargain, my most played and best game ever, buy it if you have broadband and a good pc you will not regret it.
