StarWars Republic Commando is one of the best games LucasArts rolled out of the factory. For those even mildly into Star Wars, I highly recommend u get yourself a copy of this game. It's got an excellent single player story, and through the game u become bonded to the squad your in like a real squad would. I will say that it's rather short and you should get through the game within 14-16 hours. But just playing through all it's level designed areas puts even Halo to shame. This was my 1st PC game I ever purchased and it's a game I still highly cherish and play with. The multiplayer is pretty fun. It's highly addicting and in my case I love being able to help the underdog or join a losing team faced with overwhelming odds....not only does it force me to fight and concentrate harder, but it makes me feel alive when I'm wiping out whole teams. Problems with the multiplayer are pretty mild. ALot of players tend to join the clone team for some reason, this leaves the trandoshan team rather outmanned. Also, many players impose restrictions on others based on the weapons u choose. AA's, rockets, concussion rifles, and heavy repeater guns are shunned by many, not by me though because it's pretty childish to cry over something as small as a weapon. But the 2 most annoying things about Multiplayer is the constant message spamming, and the name calling of "noob". There are some who will spamm like there's no tommorow only because you shot them. Their excuse: "Next person to noob me I'm gonna spam", that person then dies at the hands of someone who actually was using a weapon everyone agrees with and guess what? The guy spams anyways! Well the word Noob is not such a big deal but it gets on my nerves when it's being used all the time. This game is probably the one game that uses the word "Noob" the most.
These problems aren't very bad but if u got some patience then it should be very enjoyable. I hope they make a sequel because it left many in a cliff hangar.
