"If you're a fan of Star Wars or action games, Republic Commando is easy to recommend. The single-player aspect combines the elements of this generation's best action games with an added flavor that's all its own. The campaign offers nonstop action from start to finish, making the game easily one of the most enjoyable and memorable Star Wars experiences in recent memory. Our only caveats are that the campaign won't last you long, and the multiplayer is merely competent, which doesn't make the game stand out in a crowded market of first-person shooters. Even with that in mind, the quality single-player experience of Republic Commando should not be missed by anyone who fancies him- or herself an action game aficionado."

Fuck yeh, very good score.

I'm definitely going to put some money down for this.

 

[automagnus]

I didn't find the demo very fun... am i alone on this opinion?

 

[Ironclad]

Game Informer score: 8.25 and 8.75.

 

[Ramirez]

Demo blew balls,IMO.

No, you are not alone. Nothing too interesting in the demo.

 

[Teddman]

I enjoyed the E3 demo, don't know if it was different from the OXM one.

Does the final version have co-op?

 

[bitwise]

very nice

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

I doubt there is co-op but I have been hoping for this as well. If its in there, it will make this game that much more awesome.

 

[shpankey]

I also thought the demo sucked. Hmmm.

 

[Andy787]

I thought the PC demo was pretty damned fun. I'll pick this up on the PC when it gets down to ~$20, because it likely won't take long

 

[ManaByte]

I thought the PC demo was better than the Xbox one (they are different)

 

[Anamoly]

The PC demo is probably a better representation of the game than the Xbox demo. I ran through it this morning and enjoyed it much more than the demo included with KOTOR. I was kinda worried that the game might be a little to repetive with just the 4 main weapons but have learned from playing the PC demo that there are a dozen different weapons you can pick up and use along the way!

What makes the demo better is how effective it is at showing you how all the different elements come together. For example, with a few clicks you can put your teammates in/out a support sniping/heavy artillery position, cut an enemy down with your blaster, take his array gun (shotgun), mow down a group of aliens, throw a grenade then move your teammates up to the next position. This can all be done intuitively in seconds and the resulting display of flying body physics and firepower is very satisfying, almost Halo like. I'm really looking forward to getting the full game next week.

No, it was boring. I vote check out Snowblind. Very fun so far.

 

[Sysgen]

A really good Star Wars game. Get with it.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Yeah, the Xbox demo was as boring as balls

 

[bitwise]

well, they aren't reviewing the demo.

 

[Oh! My Car!]

Does the full game include a proper physics engine? The demo felt a bit ropey.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Thought the demo sucked as well.

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

Jeez that demo has made up most of your minds already, huh? Well I spose that's what demos do. Personally I liked the OXM Xbox demo and think the full-version will be awesome. And I'm NOT a Star Wars fan in the least. Just a FPS fan.

 

[Spike]

I enjoyed the demo. Maybe because I haven't played something like Rainbow 6?

For those who disliked the demo, maybe the final version turned out much better? How old was that demo, anyways?
