Star Wars: Republic Commando

So much of Star Wars is focused on the Jedi, with force-this and lightsaber-that. It’s fine, but gets a bit boring. Republic Commando, on the other hand, is all about showing the Star Wars universe from the perspective of a clone trooper during the Clone Wars. In this tactical FPS, you don’t just play as any trooper, in Republic Commando you are a clone commando. These are elite, highly skilled soldiers sent on the toughest and most dangerous missions, often in small, special squads. 

Republic Commando lets you command one of these squads, using a simple but effective order system, letting you direct your squad to hold positions, provide cover, set up bombs, or unlock doors. Without a lightsaber, the force, or even a cool starship, you feel more vulnerable than usual in a Star Wars game, making each gun fight a tense but rewarding experience. However, be prepared for a terrible cliffhanger ending, one which will likely never get resolved.
