I picked this game up today and im having some real fun with it. Ive already beaten "The clone wars" historical campaign and plan on beating the campaign with Darth Vader in it tomorrow. You play as a no name soldier, actually many no name soldiers in huge battles across the galaxy. Each team has their own signature unit, and their own version of the generic units. What really is a great part about this game is the vehicles. When youre in them, youre practically unstoppable, but when youre against them, only the demolitions unit has a real chance at blowing them up. Although all units can drive vehicles, when the Pilot unit drives, the health constantly regenerates, making it even harder to die than it already is. After you beat a scenario, you are sometimes treated to an actual movie clip of the scene you were just playing, which is a very cool fealing being able to play the movies. you play as both good and evil, and what determines what side your on is who wins the battle in the movies. for instance, if the rebels win the battle in the movies, you play as the rebels in the game, and vice versa. online is a nice touch and its definatly different than any other online game for Xbox that ive played. An added bonus is the trailer for Republic Commando which looks very good. Check it out, it convinced me to want RC. Anyway, overall this game is a fun alternative to the regular games that have been coming out, and online will add some replay value. Star Wars fans, this is the game you have been waiting for. I give it an 8.8. If this doesnt interest you but Star Wars does, wait for Republic Commando scheduled for release early next year.
