The desert, droid factories, and colony hives make way for the ruined hallways and infrastructure of the Acclamator-class destroyer, The Prosecutor. This mission was a great change of pace from Geonosis. Nobody wants to play the same rinse and repeat mission of blasting their way through a shooting gallery of foes. Assigning a Delta to a sniper, grenade, or turret position reaps instant benefits and can swing the tide of a firefight in moments.Ī benchmark for shooter games is giving the player a variety of missions.

Speaking of which, the squad commands, a central part of this game, are very well developed. Several of my squad go down and I am scrambling to drop super battle droids and maneuver my squad into advantageous positions. Even then it is understandable in order to make the squad discernable in combat and give each trooper their own vocal personality. The fight to enter the anti-aircraft bunker is the best one of Geonosis so far. It is slightly strange hearing only the playable character speak in Temuera Morrison's voice, perhaps my only nitpicking gripe with the game so far. RELATED: ARC Troopers vs Republic CommandosĪfter meeting Sev, forget what I said about 40's introduction because 07, the 'best hunter of all your brothers' puts him to shame with a brutal double-kill straight from an action movie. With the sounds of battle outside the spire, it takes very little imagination to feel like you're actually blasting your way through droids during the events of Attack of the Clones. Delta 40's introduction, defeating a Geonosian warrior in hand-to-hand combat is an excellent way to meet the 'pure and uncomplicated soldier.' The banter within the squad and the communication with your clone advisor aboard the gunship is extremely immersive, I already feel like this squad is an elite fighting force. The opening scenes of Delta Squad’s growth and training on Kamino, combined with the gunship drop onto Geonosis are a perfect Star Wars hype builder, pairing surprisingly well-written dialogue with the aforementioned excellent musical composition. Easily one of the best non-John Williams pieces in Star Wars, Vode An is a fitting battle hymn for these Mandalorian-trained commandos.

Even without playing the game, I am familiar with Vode An, the main menu track and theme of Delta Squad.
