What Was I Thinking When I Bought This
This game is part of the huge Star Wars bundle I bought awhile back. My main thought was "wow, look at all these games for 23$ - that's less than 2$ per game." The real games of interest were the Knights of the Old Republic and Force Unleashed series, and possibly Battlefront II (I loved the console version, but I'm wary of how it will feel without a controller), but I thought that the others would be a nice bonus. Once I actually counted my to-play list and saw that it was longer than it's ever been, I reconsidered that opinion, but at the time, it definitely seemed like a happy circumstance.
Expectations and Prior Experience
This is a tough one because there are so many variables that can go either way. I like the idea of seeing the Star Wars universe from a new perspective, but the EU stuff is super hit-or-miss. Shooters aren't really my favorite genre, but certain select shooters rank among my all-time favorite games. So, if Republic Commando is as fast-paced and casual as Borderlands with the sprightly, adventurous storytelling of the original trilogy, then I could really love it. On the other hand, if it is a highly technical sim-focused shooter with the grim self-seriousness of the franchise at its worst, than I'm in for a miserable 20 hours.
The store page isn't really a lot of help in this regard. I suppose I could search online for reviews, but I'll find out soon enough. For now, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
