Solid Star Wars FPS
This game is essentially what happens when Halo, Metroid Prime, and Rainbow Six had a baby with a Star Wars skin.
You play as a "Special" Clone Commando that is different from your average clone. Your armor, your main weapon, and most importantly your squad.
The game really sells the Squad theme really well. We got Delta 62 is your demolition expert, Delta 40 who works on Tech and hacking, and Delta 07 who is your Marksmen. And you Delta 38 gets to command them in the field of Battle. Unlike the standard clone trooper these commandos have personalities. 62 is the young kid, 40 is the boy scout, and 07 is the badass. 38 is the serious one though of course he makes some catchy one liners here and ther, "Lets rearrange some architecture Delta."
The game play is the standard Linear Corridor Shooter like most modern FPSes. But its not shallow. The squad tactics system may not be Rainbow Six level of depth but it serves its purpose well. The AI is extremely smart. Not once have I ever encounterd in issue with them. Your squad commands include:
Form Up/Regroup
Attack at will
Defend/Hold Position
Cancel order. (Mostly used to cancel the Hold Position.)
Focus fire on single target (you will use this against the much more tougher enemies.)
There is also situational commands on the enviornment, Order a unit to take a sniping position, anti armor position, man a gun turret, Hacking a lock door, place a demo bomb, Heal in a Health Dispener, and my favorite door breaching.
Guns are good and pack a punch. The pistol is useful. Your main assualt rifle can turn into a Sniper Rifle and Grenade Launcher. You got a retractable blade on you hand for melee attack.
2 things I criticize is the fact that despite each squad member being the supposed role, (62 the bomber, 40 the hacker, 07 the sniper) they all can do each others roles anyway which kinda defeats the point that these guys serve a role in the squad. Also the multiplayer is painfully tacked on.
