As nobody else (that i can find) has posted this here yet, I might as well: The Star Wars: Republic Commando demo has gone public.
Its available from the following mirrors:
* 3D Gamers
* 4Players.de
* ActionTrip
* AusGamers
* Gameguru Mania
* FileFront
* Filerush (Bit-torrent)
* JustGamers
* Gamer's Hell
* JASA Clan
* Worthplaying

As for the demo itself, i found it to be much better than any of the gameplay from JO/JA. The squad control system really is flawless (though the AI on the squad could use some improvement), and the game takes some cues from Halo (you can use different melee attacks depending on what weapon you're using at the time) and Metroid Prime (if something hits your visor, a laser cleans it off. if a drone attacks you, it starts to burrow a hole in your visor. if you're incapacitated, holes will appear in the visor).
The weapons are good, though the bowcaster lacks the ability to fire shots in a full spread (charged shot for JK/JO/JA).
All in all, it was a great taste of the game, and really whets my appetite for the full version next month.
What say the rest of you?
