Very unique Star Wars game, I always liked games like this and the Battlefront series that took you to the point of view of a soldier in the galaxy. For Republic Commando I never finished the campaign till now, just finally found the time.

The only real problem I had with this game is that the main rifle you have doesn't do much damage especially against tougher enemies. Though one of my favorite weapons is the vibroblade, I find myself using it a lot because it can insta kill basic enemies(B1 Battledroids for example).

The squad tactics and commands work for the most part. I recommend giving the sniper and anti-armour positions it's super efficient and your allies never run out of ammo. However I feel like there should be more depth with this feature, such as giving your squad mates one of pickup weapons. Although I like the levels I feel like they should have put more areas in the game.

As for the multiplayer side of things I was not able to find a game, it seems pretty dead. Though what I have seen from it looks decent fun. I think they missed a big opportunity with this mode, they should have made something like a "Counter Strike" mode where the Commandos are the counter terrorists and have to disarm a bomb. While the Trandoshans are part of the terrorists and have to arm the bomb.

Overall, Republic Commando has a really good atmosphere to add to the franchise. I think it's a shame the never got its sequel.
