GameSpot has thrown together a preview on LucasArts' upcoming first person shooter, Star Wars Republic Commando. Here's something to chew on:

The game will unfold in a no-nonsense militaristic style, which helps set a darker overall tone for the experience. Each mission will begin with a briefing of some kind. More often than not you won't get all the details on your task in the briefing. Instead, your objectives will be called in to you over your com as you progress through each mission. The briefings we saw had a dynamic "you are there" feel, which seemed to effectively capture the feel of a war movie. One of the briefings we saw opened on a Republic gunship en route to a drop-off point. As the voice-over filled us in on what the mission involved, we saw other gunships following in formation, dodging enemy fire and, in some cases, going up in flames.
