Commanding my attention.

Personally, I would say that this game is better than Halo (just no sequels).

Your A.I. squad always interjects little remarks that are funny and sometimes even makes fun of the environment you are in at the time.

And now the gun. Your gun in this game is the snazziest thing in the world! It's one gun, but four weapons! How cool is that. You turn it one of four ways and it becomes a rocket launcher, sniper rifle, etc. I was thoroughly impressed by that alone.

But don't forget the blade in your left greive! When you use your blade to stab enemies their blood or oil splats on your visor and a laser moves from left to right to clean it off (same with rain)...just one of the many little things they thought of in this game.

Team commanding is unusually easy to control and the team actually does what you tell them to! Now there is a first. The developers even studied military unit maneuvers to make your team look and act like a trained tactical unit.

The only flaw with this game is the ending, but that is just a personal view and not an inherent game flaw.

A Game For The Star Wars Fan

This game is quite the experience. It takes you away from the role of the all to familiar jedi and puts you into the shoes of the elite republic commandos. Now be forewarned this isn't some casual FPS, this is a very challenging game. Another reason this game is great is your team, there not just some stupid AI that pay no attention to your commands but a team that listens to you, helps you when you need it the most and you will actually care about these characters which you rarely find in tactical first person shooters. These soldiers are more human than the mindless drones you see in the prequel movies. As you progress through the game, they will even question if this war there fighting in is really worth fighting for.

Now for the not so good things about this game, this game is shorter than your first time with a girl, it ends kind of abruptly, which is why I gave this game a nine instead of a ten. But all in all this game is awesome!!!
