Star Wars Republic Commando - 8/10
The good -
Lots of fun, very well designed, good voice acting, and friendly units that actually work well together and follow instructions properly. The UI for giving orders is very effective, overly simplified yes, but it works and sets the game apart from the other lone wolf FPS feel. Authentic star wars experience. Some of the enemy units are tough and need some level of planning to take out.
The bad - Too short. Gets over abruptly with hardly anything for an epic finale, all of sudden credits start rolling. Limited enemy types, you see the same dudes over and over again, with various combinations of units to modify difficulty settings. After a while seeing Super Battle droids can get annoying, and you start going "ah more of these dudes again???? cmon!!!!"
But definitely worth playing, and its on Steam now so its easy to get hold of, runs super smooth on older machines as well (I played it on my laptop).
