History YMMV / StarWarsRepublicCommando

* AcclaimedFlop[=/=]SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: A memorably fun ''Star Wars'' FPS that nonetheless failed to sell enough copies to get a sequel greenlit.

** The sounds of LAAT/i gunships to the commandos. There's a sound clip here (from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBivZBxAF0Q 5:19]]).

** Another scene later on: [[spoiler:the team has to [[ShoutOut escape into a garbage chute]] and find themselves in pitch-black darkness, prompting them to turn on their night vision visors...and discover that they're knee deep in a sea of corpses. ''Clone Trooper'' corpses]].

** Droid dispensers are extremely annoying. They aren't enemies in and of themselves, but are {{Mook Maker}}s that are immune to damage. Aside from unique but quick solutions in certain situations, the only way to usually destroy them is to get up to them and plant demolition charges. They aren't that bad when deploying [=B1=] Battle Droids, but Super Battle Droid and Droideka dispensers can be a nightmare to deal with if you don't take care of them quickly or if you're dealing with more than one at a time (in one scenario, your advisor outright recommends you not engage the dispensers directly when a hangar is filled with no less than four dispensers, opting for a unique but safer solution to take them out).

* ThatOneLevel: The last segment of the Core Ship Infiltration (and the last segment of Geonosis) gives you [[TimedMission five minutes]] to both steal the launch codes and escape from the ship. The problem? Retrieving the codes from the bridge's terminal takes barely over one minute, and you and your squad will be swarmed with droids while slicing into it, including Super Battle Droids and Droidekas. Even getting to the bridge can about two minutes due to encounters with the aforementioned droid types, and the lack of bacta stations packed close together can make healing incredibly risky.

* DemonicSpiders: The scavenger droids are small, flying, hard to hit, blend in well with their usual surroundings, [[InterfaceScrew interface-screwing]], and [[PersonalSpaceInvader invading of personal space]]. Their primary weapon is some kind of lightning beam with an impressive range that as well as being difficult to dodge also drains shields and health outrageously fast (especially if faced in pairs or larger groups). Also, their dying action in virtually every single instance is to do a kamikaze attack which, no matter how much you shoot it, cannot be stopped and is very hard to dodge.

** Geonosian Elites. To the player they're really only a nuisance, but they're ''incredibly'' lethal to your squadmates.

* TearJerker: Being forced to [[spoiler:leave Sev behind.]]

* ItsShortSoItSucks: Republic Commando's short single-player campaign ranging from eight to ten hours was a common target for criticism.

** Geonosian Elites. To the player they're really only a nuisance, but they're ''incredibly'' lethal to your squadmates. During the Geonosian ambush on Kashyyk, you really have no choice but to let your squadmates "die" and avenge their sacrifice single-handedly.

** And also a scene later in the mission: [[spoiler:the team has to [[ShoutOut escape into a garbage chute]] and find themselves in the darkness, so they have to turn on their night vision visors...and find themselves knee deep a pile of corpses. ''Clone Trooper'' corpses]].

** AuthorsSavingThrow: As of April 2014, Lucasfilm's change in policy regarding the StarWarsExpandedUniverse means [[CanonDiscontinuity this game is no longer canon]], but ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' is. But since Delta Squad appeared in the show, they still exist in the new continuity, and [[spoiler:Sev was never left behind.]]

** The clone battle hymn [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiNyQD5Yq3E "Vode An",]] performed in the Mando'a tongue.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6knY9NsxBs "Gratua Cuun"]] is even more epic.
*** Than then both are topped by the sheer adrenaline pumping [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4dopv9TrvI Rage of the Shadow Warriors.]]
