Advantages: Great story, a beliveable and intelligant squad, variety of weapons, good humor

Disadvantages: Stale multiplayer,graphics are a bit poor compared to todays standard

Star Wars: Republic Commando has got to be my all time favorite game, story, gameplay and believable A.I, all wrapped up with a Star Wars bow on top.

Republic Commando sees you as 38 or 'Boss' as you are know by your squad comprised of 40 or 'Fixer' the computer expert, 07 or 'Sev' the tough bordering unstable soldier and 62 or 'Scorch' the fun loving demo man.

You are the elite and you must undertake the most dangerous and hostile missions the Republic can throw at you, this takes you from the Battle of Geonosis to Kashyyyk, the wookie homeworld.

Feartures: Intelligent A.I
Good story
Multiplayer

The game does have multiplayer but it is a bit stale and feels like an afterthought though the story does have some decent replayablitly factor.

The weapons you can have are as follows: Standard automatic, sniper attachment, anti armour attachment, side arm blaster and one other alien weapon of your choice ranging from beam guns to shotguns though by our standards this seems quite few when coupled with the 4 choices of grenades and the heavy set weapons that you can salvage in the field and you will be more than satisfied with the choice.

You can command your squad in a variety of ways from group up to search and destroy to door breach, all the actions other than commands can be done by one of guys specilised in that e.g Scorch can and will place explosives faster than you and fixer can hack faster than you.

And so you are left feeling that you are part of a team and not just the commander or an army of clones as they look different, sound different and definitely seem different.

I know its an old game but its in the classics for a reason and i am definatly hoping for a sequal.

Summary: For Star Wars fans and fans of fun squad based games
