The arrival of General Grievous on Kashyyyk heralds the addition of theВ MagnaGuard as enemies to the squad. While unfortunately he does not stick around for long, it is still a solid and subtle cameo that ties in well with the droid attack on the Wookiees in Revenge of the Sith. Freeing the war-chieftain Tarfful is accomplished relatively easy. As a huge fan of Wookiees, there are few things in this game as awesome as watching a freed Wookiee warrior Spartan-kick a battle droid across the compound. My personal favorite planet in all of Star Wars,В the homeworld of the Wookiees proved to be the most challenging assignment for Delta Squad yet. What shooter is complete without blasting your way through tight hallways with a shotty? The Arrestor'sВ arrival out of hyperspace and destruction of the Lucrehulk-class Trade Federation battle ship as Vode AnВ triumphantly plays is a perfect finale for this mission. The additional weapons that you are able to take off defeated foes, the array gun and the heavy accelerator, are classic additions to the commando arsenal.

The tension builds as Scorch goes dark over coms and Sev is taken down by a Trandoshan slaver and interrogated. The mission is spooky and has a horror theme to it, which is a welcome variation to the game. The zero-G space walk insertion to the mission area is something that is not seen enough in Star Wars,В reminiscentВ of the scene whereВ Anakin, Fives, and Rex space walk across the hull of a Separatist cruiser to rescue Tupp from Separatist control. This mission is extremely absorbing, so much so that I forgot to take notes during gameplay. 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.ДЄ 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.В 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.

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 SquadвЂ™s growth and training on Kamino, combined with the gunship drop onto Geonosis are a perfect Star WarsВ 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 AnВ 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.
