I recall with ease what it was like to play Republic Commando the first time. I remember staying up all night the day I purchased Star Wars: The Old Republic, and sleeping the next day in class. When I heard this enhanced port was coming I knew I would be picking it up, regardless of if I was going to review it.ĭo you ever do this thing where you recall something so vividly, even years later, and it sticks in your memory forever? I can recall the feeling of watching Star Wars: Rogue One and realizing while sitting in a theater that the ending of this movie was going to be the beginning of A New Hope, and getting that tingling feeling of happiness. I’m still hurt that the last game they produced was Star Wars: Tiny Death Star, and my heart still yearns for Star Wars 1313. For me they had way more hits than misses, and I could always count on a game that felt finished. Indiana Jones, Full Throttle, Monkey Island, you name it. LucasArts titles were a staple of my youth, and not just the plethora of Star Wars titles.
When the LucasArts logo popped up as I turned on Star Wars: Republic Commando, I knew I was in for a treat. You are Delta Squad, four members whose job, nay duty, is to do the dirty deeds the Republic needs done: assassinations, rogue exploration of long-forgotten ships, or dealing with Wookies.
