Premise
You play as RC-1138 aka "Boss", and you must lead Delta Squad through campaigns against the Separatists in three distinct locales. Fight droids, Geonosians, and Trandoshan mercenaries as the gauntlet of the Republic!
Features
- Available on Xbox and PC
- Three single-player campaigns (Geonosis, Assault Ship, Kashyyyk) with 14 levels
- Excellent squad AI
- Straightforward "one-touch" squad control system
- Multiplayer deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture-the-flag modes
- Shallow learning curve if you've played other FPS games; and if not, there are in-game hints & tips and the Easy difficulty level
- Environments and enemies from the Star Wars movies and the expanded universe, plus not-seen-before content
- Pretty graphics
- Not many bugs at all - a very polished and stable game
- Witty dialogue and memorable commando personalities
- Awesome music
- Fun even for people who don't normally like first person shooters (like me at the time)
- There's actually a PC demo! Find it at GameSpot. (Yes, this is a "feature" because if a demo didn't exist, I never would have bought the game and my life would be so much different right now... and this site would likely not exist.) So try it out - don't take my word for it!
