    I played this game on my friend's Xbox (I don't have Microsoft tech) and I really enjoyed it. A few parts were a little difficult and, quite frankly, rage inducing, but the good outweighs the bad. The MP was a little strange, small maps and silly 'Headshot' sounds, but one map is great, incorporating antigravity tech. Anyway, really good fun, and they should definitely make another...

    I am a huge Star wars fan and I must say this is my favorite Star Wars game by far, everything from its game play, system layout, story and its main characters I think are perfect. If you have been thinking of trying this game, think no longer, just do it and do it now! I promise you, you will not regret it! Best Star Wars game ever!

    This game is one of my favorite first person shooters for the Xbox. It's also probably one of the most intense.

The only other first person shooter I've played for the Xbox that wasn't part of the Halo series, and so, naturally I feel forced to compare it to it. The graphics are far supierior, the battles are about equally as intense, though the story isn't as good and neither is the game as a whole - simply because the campaign is extremely short and I can't help but feel that this game is like a Star Wars ripoff of Halo. Besides all that though, it is a very well made and well thought out game. The variety of enemies aren't very impressive, but I love the fact that you can breeze through battles feeling all high and mighty until you run into a Super Battle Droid and it totally just screws your pacing over because of their increased accuracy (you can't just go running straight at them). Really its a fun game, and now since you should be able to find it for a price considerably cheaper, its worth getting - since it is playable on the 360.… Expand

    As a squad, the drone AI's are the best I have ever played with, way, way above the norm. It felt more real. Has a excellent challange. In a single player game it is awesome, and in the multi-player the maps were big and took a little while to find the enemy, but was worth it for the action. It is the best Star Wars game I have played to date.

    In a lot of ways Republic Commando feels like a combination of Metorid Prime and Halo. The graphics aren't quite up to those 2 games, but they're close. The single player game is exceptionally entertaining.

    This game is great at drawing you in to the environment and being a clone trooper in the republic army. It has great squad command, the easiest ever. The environments are great and feel real, I just wish there were more of them. Generally it's just a great experience.

    A blast from start to end, fast paced, changing environments. This type of game had to be slightly linear to work. Enough variation to keep it thoroughly entertaining. Dont forget, you have to immerse yourself in the game so trying to keep your squad alive (NOTE the AI was top notch for the arcade level shooter) was a big part of the fun.)

    To be honest, it is really hard for someone like me to give a 10, because if there is one thing I don't like it loses it's 10, the only other game I can think of off the top of my head that I gave a 10 to is "Star Wars battlefront 2" yet granite I like that game better than this one, but on my top 10 list this would be in the solid 2 slot, I have never enjoyed as much games as I've had with Lucas arts, it's sad to realize that Lucas arts was bought out by Disney because they made REALLY good games, perfect games to be exact, another game I would recommend is Star wars KNIGHTS of the old republic, don't get the MMO version, it sucks.

    Anyways, if people complain about this game, I don't know what else you want from a video game. The haters are looking for something that doesn't exist, the perfect game. Instead of looking at every flaw in a game look at how FUN it is, instead of tormenting yourself through it, yet this game is really fun but every game as it's flaws.

    What's most disappointing about the whole thing, though, isn't so much the lack of me-too deathmatch variants, but that LucasArts didn't bother to allow players to play the campaign mode co-operatively as Red Storm achieved so successfully in the likes of Ghost Recon 2, Rainbow Six 3 and Black Arrow... As it is Republic Commando deserves huge respect for managing to be the best Star Wars shooter ever.
