You'll have to get up close and knife them repeatedly in order to drop them. Your base weapon, the DC-17 rifle, has all the effectiveness of a pop-gun against certain enemies. There is a pitifully small arsenal of weapons open to you. The night-vision mode still has a glow to it, and the voicework and the storyline are still as impressive now as they were back then.Īs enjoyable as 'Republic Commando' is, some of the flaws in the game that you may have ignored previously will hit you hard this time around. The game's gloomy, militaristic soundtrack still thumps throughout. Scorch and Sev, the fast-talking bombs expert and the cold-blood sniper, have their witty banter intact. With a quick button, you can focus fire on them or put a sniper in place to take care of it while you try and blow a door open to keep the fight moving.Īll of the personality is there as you remember it. You're rushing through a fire-fight, trying to push back a swarm of Geonosians while a Super Battle Droid appears out of nowhere and starts spraying lasers everywhere. The likes of 'Rainbow Six: Siege' or any one of the ' Call of Duty' games had nothing remotely close to this, and even though a sequel to 'Republic Commando' was planned, nothing has come out quite like this game for that concept. The game's intuitive squad-command system was far ahead of its time, and even playing it now, the simplicity at the core of its concept is one that's been missing from gaming since. Originally released in 2005 for the Xbox, the game has assumed a legendary status not just among die-hard fans of ' Star Wars', but amongst players of all stripes.
