With a synopsis like that, holy crap did it feel good to play as one of the best soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Elite Clone Commandos who could give ARC troopers a run for their money, this quartet of Republic ass-kickers were designed to win at all costs and they were armed to the teeth with enough firepower to bring down a fleet of Star Destroyers if they were pointed in that direction. It was an unrelenting display of power, utilising the very best genes of the third-most famous Mandalorian to craft a soldier that was a cut above your regular Clonetrooper. Released back in 2005 at the height of prequel mania, Republic Commando was essentially Doom with a Clone Wars wardrobe. I had a laugh earlier in the week with a very debateable top ten list of the best Star Wars games (Surprise! Garth Sirius isn’t real!), but if I was being dead serious I’d chuck Star Wars: Republic Commando into that listicle without losing sleep. Where the fuck is my Republic Commando remake? With all of that progress, those assets and that experience, I’ve just got one question for EA.
The monetisation doesn’t feel like a taxman squeezing blood from a stone, the modes on offer are brilliant and DICE’s visual work is obscenely good. The straw that broke the loot box camel’s back, Battlefront II is currently ending its lifespan in a far better state than what it started.
