Star Wars Republic Commando (PC Games, 2005)

My son likes this game. I have seen several things that are a little to violent.So you might want to rent it before you buy it.

Awesome game. Love the squad action. When first playing the game make sure you set the bit-mapping to low, in the options - graphics section, or the game may crash on first mission load screen. Other than that it's an awsome game.

My 7 year old son who is a Star Wars fan found out about this game, and asked me to find it. None of the stores I check had it, but I found it easily on ebay. The game does not have the best graphics, but he says it is fun and is satisified.

Looked action packed and exciting! Best to have a mouse for playing the game. Not easy to play on a laptop without it.

Was received in perfect condition. The package was not even opened. Delivery was fast! The price was inexpensive for such a great game!

I bought it for my son who is a big star war fan. He is 9 years old and he loves it. I saw him playing it all the time.

The only problem I noticed is that I can't switch to other programs on my PC when he is playing the game. I tried to pause his game but I can’t get back to my desktop. I have to quit his game to use the computer. Then he has to start over again.

My son was looking for this older game. We found it here and the service and product were excellent...no problems.

I have played many FPS games, definitely 50-100 in the last 10 years so I have some experience in the manner. This game is a little gem, a pleasant surprise to the bulk of current shooters out there in the market right now. No DRM is a plus!

In SW Republic Commando you take the role of a squad leader in a elite squad during the clone wars. You run all sorts of back story missions NOT shown in the movie. Clandestine ops, search and destroy missions, fighting in a wide variety of planets and terrain. You lead your AI squad through missions with a simple point and click interface that allows you to conduct simple strategic squad warfare. "Snipe from this position" "Blow that door" "Revive that squad member" are just a few examples of orders you can give to your AI squad mates. The AI wile simplistic but fairly realistic and the game does a excellent job of immersing you into the action of a elite commando team. The sound effects are definitely of the Star Wars cannon, the sound track surprisingly gorgeous for this little off-shoot title. The missions are pretty straightforward, making it difficult to get lost or stuck. The voice acting is done very well, with the developers putting effort into making your clone squad mates realistic and teem with a little life and personality. Kudos to the developer for making half-interesting squad mates.

The weapons are a wide variety of expected Star Wars weapons with a few twists added here and there, making the approach different if not fresh from the standard FPS perspective. You can use a several grenade types, the hud is simple but effective for monitoring your squad mates current location, health and tactical status.

While graphics cannot compare to the likes of Crysis and it's modern brethren, Star Wars Republic Commando can stand out with decent enough model types, good graphics, and it's small price tag. The system requirements are surprisingly low for a shooter of this grade, and I was surprised it ate up so few gigs, considering more modern games can now eat up 10-20 gigs each.

All in all I enjoyed the experience and would easily recommend it to Star Wars fans and First Person Shooter enthusiasts, simply based on it's creative approach to a sagging genre, and it's wallet friendly price. Despite the fact fans are split on the Clone Wars franchise, this title does add a fresh perspective without using a light sabre or force powers. It allows additional exploration of little known, or relatively unseen sections of the movies which fans often times appreciate.

If you are a hardcore realism shooter (IE - Call of Duty fanatic 4 & 5) you may find blaster weapons a bit of a change from a AK-47 and standard automatic weapons. The pace is still the same of the average FPS with fast paced sequences, some difficult bosses, and crescendo music during tense scenes to keep you gripped in your seat. For full retail price I might rate this as "good" but as shooters of this caliber (pun intended) deflate in price, my personal rating goes up as the low cost title can provide almost as much fun and graphical eye candy as the latest 50 or 60 dollar game so I chose to rate "excellent" especially since it has not bugged out, provided any display issues, hasn't locked up, or deactivated itself because I somehow insulted it's SecureROM policy.

If you ever wanted to be a storm trooper, then this title is for you. It gives you a first hand experience that is hard to forget and well worth the price tag.

Good game, nice wrap and delivery, good seller. The game has the touch of Star wars of course, but sometimes you feel that is so fast and the weapons doesn't work how they should do it (don't make so much damage on enemies) but the IA for his time(2005) I think is good. I'm love the games in old school package, that's why I miss the "size of the box"...

I bought this game because I had an action figure of one of the characters and I thought that this game would be cool. As it turns out, this game could very well be the best game EVER MADE. If you have Star Wars BattleFront for PC, this game comes very naturally to you. One thing that tricked me is the squad commands, they got from hard to very easy. this game came to me in about two days after I won it. Enjoy!

it made the kid happy and he is playing it daily. He has very little that he is reinforced with, and this is one thing that will

Coming from a Star Wars fan it is a really cool game if you want to play covert operations, in the Star wars Galaxy. Recommend for all Star Wars fans.

The games was in very good excellent condition. Work like a charm. No complain. I would buy for this seller again.

Republic commando is a game that we'll keep you on the edege of your seat. If you're a star wars fan it will take you to the Star Wars universe. I wish they had made the game a little longer. But....bring on part two!!!!

All I can say is that they better make a Republic Commando 2. I can play this game over and over again.

amazing game. well played, well written. fits in perfect with the star wars books. you get to know the arrsee's down and dirty. hope there in a game for omega squad in the future.

Star Wars: Republic Commando is a first-person shooter Star Wars video game, released in the US on March 1, 2005. It was developed and published by LucasArts for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox platforms. The game uses Epic Games' Unreal Engine.

The game is set during the events of the Clone Wars that started at the climax of the movie Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. In the game, the player is expected to take command of a Clone commando team, made up of elite Clone troopers. These clone troopers have been specially bred at the clone factories on Kamino. The commando team will travel to various locations in the Star Wars universe, including Kashyyyk, Geonosis, and the derelict spacecraft, The Prosecutor.

Great game, liked very much. Would recommend to people that like FPS's or Star Wars in general. Would not recommend for young children that would not understand what's all going on in the game, however

If youre a Star Wars fan, this game is for you. Lots of action, weapons, enemies, good music, things to shoot at...did I mention lots of action? Levels are huge and the game itself is a decent length. On top of all that, your fellow commandos that you control will have you laughing throughout the whole game. WHen it first came out, I thought it would be a dissapointment, and just recently got and finished the game. I should've gotten it alot sooner.

My husband's birth day was coming up on Sunday, April, 20, 2008. Joe, my husband of 30 years, loved everything to do with Star Wars. No big deal, I'll get him a few more Star Wars PC games for his birthday. The only Star Wars game he had was Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. So I bought Star Wars Battlefront II and Star Wars Republic Commando for Joe. Then our troubles begin. What I forgot was that Battlefront II and Republic Commando were bigger and faster FC games made in 2004 by Lucas Arts. You have to install the Direct X 9.0c on your computer. Sure our computer is an Intel Pentium III but we had to unload over half of our programs to make room for the games. It felt strange to install the PC games to our DVD drive.Then a sign kept popping up saying we didn't have a 3D Graphics Card on our computer. We took our CPU into Computer Discount to have a GRAPHICS CARD wth Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader as well as Hardware Transform and Lighting Capability added to our computer. Since only one Star Wars PC game could go on our computer at a time, we tried to install Star Wars Battlefront II. We couldn't seem to get it to installed on our computer in the DVD drive. The game took up 4.0 of free space on the hard drive and was to big for our computer. The we installed Star Wars: Republic Commando to our computer. Since it was a smaller game and only took up 2.0 GB of free space on the hard drive it went on. Joe was happy with the more realistic movie quality of the game as well as the different weapons and more seniors. Nex year Joe wants a AMD Athlon computer for his birthday so he can play Star Wars Battlefront II.

This product was shipped immediately, arrive in perfect condition, and is exactly as advertised. I can't ask more from an ebay seller. Thank you very much.

Republic Commando + You buying it = Awsome Fun!!!!

Republic Commando is a really cool game, with you playing 1st Person view as a Commando, and you can completely control your own squad. Its a really good game.

The only two problems are that you can't turn on and off friendly fire in multiplayer and that there is lots of oil and posion that flies onto your screen when playing, and that can reduce your sight-in-game a lot.

Overall, I give it a 4.8, but EBay only allows 4 or 5, so I rouded to 5.

This is an awsome game! :)

Most games under the Star Wars umbrella have fallen short, exception to Knights Of The Old Republic Series and Battlefront, but Republic Commando is exceptional. The game keeps a rampant pace throughout with little down time. Nice weapons familiar with the Star Wars Universe are supplied to you to take out familiar Star Wars foes. To aide in your endeavor are three soldiers each with a unique skill: hacking, demolitions, and sniping. These soldiers are not your typical NPC and WILL lay down the law on opposing forces. Fun squad commands are available but presented to you in a dumbed down manner. Green holograms of where your soldiers can go to perform tasks are strewn throughout the battlefield, and are accessed simply by highlighting them and pressing ACTION. Even without commands your commandos operate efficiently and tactifully, as opposed to Halo where the NPC is essentially cannon fodder. This fact is particularly nice when your character is incapacitated, you don't die in the game you're only immobilized, and you can watch your squad decimate all threats before they even revive you. The only real complaint is the very short length of play which is about 10 hours. Still Republic Commando proves itself worthy to carry the Star Wars name.
