It's a Commando world, we just live in it

User Rating: 9 | Star Wars: Republic Commando XBOX
This game is just downright dark and gritty. It's also very intense at times and you need to have your finger on the trigger at all times if you hope to survive. Star Wars and Xbox seem to have a great relationship when it comes to making enjoyable video games for the public. Wheter it be RPG's like KOTOR or fascinating 3rd person shooters as SW Battlefront 1 & 2. The overall concensus from gamers is that while the games are simple to get the hang of, they're just plain fun to play for hours and hours on end as well as in the XBOX Live arena. Republic Commando's concept is great. It takes after previous ideas of being in command of a squad and being able to command them to perform different tasks throughout the game. The cool thing is and what's different from other games of this type is that if your squad gets gunned downed, they're not out of the game completely. You have the ability to revive them, and guess what, they have the ability to revive YOU if need be. Now how cool is that?? If you're a fan of the Star Wars genre and shooter games in general, then this game is for you. As with many other SW games, you're following the actual story and partaking in missions as elite Commandos from an elite unit. My only gripe about this game is that it's waaaaaay too short. It's also easy. If they could've made it a bit more difficult and a bit longer, it'd be perfect. This game has been out for a while and I haven't read anything on a sequel to the game coming out on the 360. Hopefully Lucas and Microsoft can get together again to make another one. Awesome game plain and simple.
