PC.IGN has whipped up a preview on LucasArts' upcoming first person shooter, Star Wars: Republic Commando. Here's a taste:

Switching your main weapon from assault rifle to sniper rifle to grenade launcher comes with dramatic transform animations that will show your commando flipping, switching and installing new modules that will change the entire look of the thing. Like we've seen in Halo, you can only carry two weapons at once and from what we can tell this means you have to carry the main transformable weapon plus one other gun that you choose. You'll have to drop the default republic blaster pistol as your second weapon if you want to pick up a shotgun, Wookie bowcaster or the Geonosian bio-energy powered blaster along the way. You'll also have a slot for grenade type weapons and a default melee attack that looks like a Star Wars style, wrist-mounted switchblade on the commando's left wrist. All republic troops are righties it seems.
