A great action-packed squad-based shooter! Extreme Prejudice indeed!

User Rating: 8.5 | Star Wars: Republic Commando PC
Republic Commando is a first-person squad-based tactical shooter that uses the Star Wars license in a great way even if you won't wield any light sabers! Your squad is a team of 4 Commandos in which you control "Number 38" and the other 3 are AI controlled. You can assign them commands by pointing to certain locations and clicking the according keyboard button (Default is F). It's a nice system and you'll use it a lot to setup your squad in offensive or defensive positions.

The graphics are really excellent and makes a great use of the Unreal 2.0 engine. The level design can sometimes be a little bit too "corridoresque" but you'll get to duke it out in wide open spaces (big hangars for example).

The sound and music is typical Star Wars game stuff... which means it's excellent.

The action is relentless and you will constantly order your squad to attack certain things, cover you or splice a command post. There's a couple of challenging spots but once you get the hang of it, you'll be ok.

The Single-player campaign is divided in 3 big sections which should take 2 to 3 hours each to complete. The whole game should take you 8 to 10 hrs. It's somewhat short but it's a bargain for 10$.

I had a blast with this game and you should check it out if you like tactical shooters and / or Star Wars.
