"Good Game"
First of all, i've always loved squad based shooters that allow you to give commands so my judgment might be swayed a little by that. though i found this game a little too short, i beat it around five or six hours, it was very entertaining. the gameplay is fun and gives you many options of what to do with your squad although once you have the actions down much of the game is cut and dry with fixed positions to perform certain actions but the game is still entertaining. there are many different mission requirements that spice things up a little. the weapon strength to enemy health ratio is a little unbalanced though as the melee attach is increadably stronger than shooting with the rifle and some enemies just don't like to die(whacking or shooting), good thing your squard can revive each other despite being blown apart by rockets and grenades. the AI is definently not the worse i've seen, though i have seen better but not many and not by much. all in all i don't regret buying this game at all.

"Squad Based First Person Shooter With Star Wars!"
Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: bargainzandmore

Star Wars Republic Commando takes you into the events leading up to the last days of the Republic.

This is an awesome squad based first person shooter with non stop action. You are the commander of Delta Squad (voice acting by Jango Fett himself, Temuera Morrison) an elite special forces group.

You'll get to see new vehicles, enemies and locations from the Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith movie. The game has 15 levels (not nearly enough) with 8 alien environments & can be single or multiplayer/online with system link 2-10, as well as content download for new items and levels.

On a 1-10, I'll give it an 8.5

"Great concept!"
As another reviewer of this game previously mentioned, this game is indeed dark and gritty. It's also very intense at times and you need to have your finger on the trigger at all times if you hope to survive.

Star Wars and Xbox seem to have a great relationship when it comes to making enjoyable video games for the public. Wheter it be RPG's like KOTOR or fascinating 3rd person shooters as SW Battlefront 1 & 2. The overall concensus from gamers is that while the games are simple to get the hang of, they're just plain fun to play for hours and hours on end as well as in the XBOX Live arena.

Republic Commando's concept is great. It takes after previous ideas of being in command of a squad and being able to command them to perform different tasks throughout the game. The cool thing is and what's different from other games of this type is that if your squad gets gunned downed, they're not out of the game completely. You have the ability to revive them, and guess what, they have the ability to revive YOU if need be. Now how cool is that?? If you're a fan of the Star Wars genre and shooter games in general, then this game is for you. As with many other SW games, you're following the actual story and partaking in missions as elite Commandos from an elite unit. My only gripe about this game is that it's waaaaaay too short. It's also easy. If they could've made it a bit more difficult and a bit longer, it'd be perfect. This game has been out for a while and I haven't read anything on a sequel to the game coming out on the 360. Hopefully Lucas and Microsoft can get together again to make another one. Awesome game plain and simple.

"The kids love Star Wars Republic Commando"
I owned this title previously for the old Xbox. We traded in the title after waiting for what seemed like forever for it to become compatible with our newer Xbox 360. After waiting more than a year we traded it in for another title. However, we recently received notice that it was finally "backward compatible", (backward compatible is what they call it, but it's more like forward compatible). We decided to re-buy the title since it had been such a fun game. Now I have at least two of my children playing through the campaign again and they just love it. Even though it's not as glitzy in terms of graphics as the next gen games, it's certainly worth owning (even a second time).

"This rocks!"
This is a most fun first person Star Wars shooter. I have greatly enjoyed the game play, the missions, and imagery. I'd only say that some elements on weaponry could have been better, but it is Star Wars and it puts YOU in the middle of the action as a Republic Commando. Can't argue with that!
