SW games really have gone downhill lately (I use lately to mean the past few years). Sure, there have been a few gems, (KotOR, Battlefront, Jedi Knight II), but for the most part, well, they've been realy crappy. I never bought KotOR II, more because I hadn't finished the first one yet, but having heard about it now, I don't think I will.

I don't know if anyone here bought Republic Commando last year. If you haven't, don't. I thought that game was going to be the shit, serious. It sounded like a Rainbow Six a la SW. Instead, it was all simple point and click scenarios, with little icons popping up saying "you can snipe from here" and "put a bomb here" and that. The team was, apparantly, four specialists, but the same task could be done at the same speed by any memeber of the team. There was so much more that could have been done to that game to make it a little more than spray and pray.

The only SW game I play right now is BF2. It was a good sequel. Maybe not the best game out there, not even the best of its genre, but fun nonetheless, and a great story in the campaign.
