Surprisingly large online following August 17, 2008
I was surprised with the new games out how many people are playing what is essentially an older game now. And yes, it's still fun..
Good, but short July 7, 2008
The game was a blast, if a bit short. That, and the lack of bump mapping support for newer video cards (3850 here) are the only reasons I pulled one star.

Intense team work/action game. Great graphics, cutscenes, and weaponry. Do yourself a favor and buy this!
overlooked game May 8, 2008

This is a game I've had since it came out originally in 2005, and I keep coming back to it. The action is great, the graphics hold up well, and the squad controls (and the squad members themselves) are brilliant and very easy to use. This game also holds the distinction of being the only shooter I've died in because I was laughing at something (fortunately dying is no big deal since your squad members can resuscitate you...unless they go down too)
As a star wars game, it succeeds brilliantly in capturing a much more in-the-trenches feel of the clone wars than the movies even though it takes us to the same places (geonosis and kashyyyk). This is partially because with one small, green exception there are no jedi in the game, which leaves you and your squad to do all the work without any forcepowered cheating :P The other thing that bears pointing out is your squadmates themselves. Despite being clones, they all have a unique character and provide a good amount of comic relief, Sev and Scorch especially. They're very much one of the strengths of this game.
There's a technical problem with nvidia 8000 series graphics cards where you have to set the bump mapping to low or the game won't play. Hopefully that'll be fixed in a driver update sometime soon.
The worst thing about the game is the ending leaves it wide open for a sequel...and three years on, no word of one. Delta squad has appeared in the republic commando novel series, so, their future may play out there. Still hoping for Imperial Commando, though :P
more fun on pc than the console versions April 6, 2008

I already had this game on XBOX and PS2 but the graphics and the controls were not all that great. I decided to buy this for my pc and I have to say the experience was much better and it was actually easier to kill those dodging geonosians!
