It's a real shame I never played this game earlier because, despite it being focused on clone troopers (which was one of the things I didn't like about the prequals) the team behind this game made them all varied and interesting with their own personalities and each one specialising in a certain field, however all commandos can do the jobs, just some are better than the others.
The story is actually quite interesting as you lead a group of elite troopers, Delta Squad and there are a lot of neat little things with the UI such as how when you get blood or machine oil splatted on your visor, it cleans itself. Same with rain too. Aside from your pistol and your ever-changing rifle (that has three modes, Assault, sniper and rocket) and various types of grenades you can also pick up a single alien weapon, which is a shame you can only pick up the one as there are a variety of weapons from the Genoshan's energy beam cannon, the Trandoshen's shotgun to even the Wookiee Bowcaster.
I also loved using the melee weapon which is a blade that comes out of your left gauntlet, generally killing most creatures in one or two strikes.
The story ends just before the end of episode three and before the order is given to fire on the Jedi. The game also contains cool unlockables to learn about the game and it's production, which is something generally missing from most games these days sadly.
Though as much as I like the game, there is one really annoying enemy. A real fuck-you kind of enemy. There are these flying droids that drain your shield and health and by the time you shoot them, them kamikaze straight at you, often insta-killing you so you know, fuck those things. I'd take on a spider-droid anyday.
And if you're not sold on it yet, the character you play as (Delta 38) is played by the actor who played Jango Fett.
I'd recommend picking this up when you have a chance.
