Fixxer, Scorch and 07

Well, for those who doesn't know which game I'm talking about, it's LucasArt's "Republic Commando". I played it in about two evenings through, so it is not a terrible difficult game. But it was very entertaining and fun to play. I loved the chats between the Deltas, they were quite amusing, and I often thought they're bit nuts like in some war-kind movies.

The gameplay was very fluent, I jumped from one infight in the next. "RC" is in my conceit a well-done straight shooter without any puzzles, just run-and-gun. The downside is, the game was short. Another thing which has slowed down the gameflow was sluggish squad-commands. In a heavy firefight to press and hold the A-button almost 3 secs for a simple "save objectives/field" or "regroup"-command, that takes too long. But another feature I'd really enjoyed like a little brat was the melee attack. There is nothing better against a group of droids, slavers or light mercernaries then running into them and stab them down. Especially those with jetpacks... ^_^!!!

RC was in my experience a solid well done shooter with good sound and musictracks, a bit short but intensive. One thing I wish for the successor is a cooperative-splitscreen modus. I'm waiting for that!
