Title: Republic Commando
Post by: Deepblue on March 07, 2005, 12:07:54 am
Fun game, albeit the campaign was sorta short. I also didn't like the fact that you didn't feel (vibration) when you got shot or hit and some of the weapons didn't feel like they had much Oomph behind them like Halo weapons do.

It's like a mishmash of Halo, Rainbow Six 3, and Star Wars.

I would recommend if you are a SW or just an Action game junkie.

P.S. melee everyone, its a lot of fun.

Played the demo, it seemed a little too much like:
Quick! Mission briefing! Here's an upcoming planet in the new, improved, episode III fashion!

Quick! Action figure#1 shooting at you!

Now you've blown up the door using our INNOVATIVE FEATURE(tm), quick more action figures!

...now that you've shot the droids, which are a new LEGO toyline for episode III here comes some gameplay!

...now a special, free, sneak peek at the episode III archvillain nemesis who will have one minute of screentime because he's so important! General Grievous!!!1111oneoneone

...and to conclude:

Seriously though, it's fun but it feels too much like it's a game made simply as a last-minute cash cow. As opposed to having a real plot with unique things that would be going on before EPIII, it's leading you by the nose to movie locations/characters as a sort of $50 trailer.

I played the demo.

I rather enjoyed it too, I found it was a completely different type of StarWars game. Much more dark and moody. The Red Army Choir add to the effect.

Some of the weapons do seem a bit like they are firing blanks or something, but overall its not a crap game, but an above average one.

I'll have to check out the full version, either on pc or xbox.

As good as it is, science fiction squad shooters have never had the same power as Terra Nova, it would have been famous and all conquering.  But YOU DIDN'T BUY IT! Why? Why is the gaming public so silly?  I shall reap my vengance on you all mwahahahahahahaha (goes back to testing)

Terra Nova was ahead of its time. Provbably still is...
Though RC is a really good game IMFO' just for the pure mood of it' and excelent dialogue.

It used so little vibration that I felt like I was playing on a Gamecube. :p The multiplayer was a downer though.

Hehe, wookies are BIG now. And tough (remembers walking into a room to watch a wookie break a Trandoshan over his knee and slam the one on his back into spikes on the wall, too bad he died right after :( ).
