I'm torn this coming month...doom 3? or republic commando? Which game is everyone going more towards anyway? Have to admit, RC looks pretty damn nice....

Republic Commando, but I don't like Doom 3, should get an opinion from someone else maybe.

Cool, yah I'm just wondering what people think about it on the whole. I know Doom is pretty gud, but I have heard that the PC demo for RC was amazing! Mind you, most of us were introduced to Star Wars, waaayyy before Bungie, so I can see why this title has such a huge fan base to boot...

Both.

Doom3 is really just a straightforward run and gun - with some of the best graphics the Xbox will ever see. It's pretty scary, but gets repetitive after a while.

Republic Commando looks good, but I hear that there are bugs that need to be ironed out.

The enemy of my enemy shall die next.

I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

Brown chicken Brown cow!

You can bring a knife to a gun figh : )

I just like how the visor cleans itself when you get a bug smeared on it.

Doom 3 looks cool as well though. I dont know which one to get either, cant get both, I dont have enough time to play them.

I've heard that Doom 3 got crappy reviews on PC.

Republic Commando, though, really looks great. The squad system works, the guns are cool, the animations are awesome, the graphics are sweet, and it'll last longer than 10 hours. I've pre-ordered it.

And you get to fight alongside Wookies! How can you not like that?

Hearing the amount of levels in the game (and the demo being one of them), I'm skeptical. I believe Republic Commando will suffer from the "five hours of extreme fun" problem. It's going to be a blast during gameplay, but it's going to be pretty short.

So! We Star Wars fans don't give a -blam!-. Sure, they say Battlefront was bad, but we don't think so.

I think you're against LucasArts. You were against them for KOTOR 2, and you are now.

yeah, who would give battlefront bad reviews? That game was awesome!! So much wide scale battle, so many vehicles, so many choices.....just wish the A.I didn't just run and gun everywhere. But yah seriously, RC looks...different..... I think thats why most ppl are attracted to it. If you watch a video of gameplay, it doesn't actually look like star wars.
