Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I bought a $45 used version of this game and when my grandson opened it, inside was a Harry Potter game, not the Star Wares Clones game I thought I had purchased. That really felt like a serious rip off and hopefully I can count on Amazon's return policy to get me a credit...but nothing will change the look of disappointment on my grandson's face when he opened it.

This game is simply O.K. The graphics are lame, and so is the plot. I would talk about it, but I know there are some people who just want to discover. Only the gameplay is good. The multiplayer is just weird. My final opinion: rent it first.

Lame!

I got this game and I thought "Hey it's Star wars." Well you can only play as a jedi ( which is cool but it could been better if you can as a clone trooper like battlefront) and other stuff.Don't but in buy or rent it.If you want a Star Wars game that you can play as a trooper buy Battlefront or BattlefrontII.There WAY BETTER!!

Bad. Just bad

A weak clone of starfighter, rebel assault, etc. They make the package look better than the game. I would pass on this one.

An Okay Game, but...

I was very excited to find this game. The first missions were challenging, but not all that difficult. You learn how to use your weapons overall. But, then some missions come in that are just plain silly. Anakin riding on a Maru and then on a Speederbike. Well, that level was just plain stupid. The graphics are very, VERY choppy. When you put too much into a game, graphic-wise, the frame rate suffers and that's what we have here. It's not like Star Wars: Racer's Revenge where it was smooth and just plain easy to manuver. Trying to pilot a speederbike through a maze of trees with terrible slow, choppy frame rate, you'd have to be a real Jedi (or Sith) to be able to do that!!

Then the mission where you have to defend these big walkers to blow up a factory is very difficult because your so called Jedi army aren't as well trained as you are and die easily, so guess what, you are left to fend for yourself which is flat out hard!! Now, for all those that say the game is way too easy and too short, well, are they playing at the "Jedi Knight" level, and are they going for all the bonus objectives?

Because if I were to just play the game just to get through it without shooting for at least 2 out of 3 objectives and play at the "Padawan" level sure the game would be easy and short.

Well, I recommmend the game if you are a big Star Wars fan because it's cool how it fits in with the movie, but if you want to get it for the battle experience, well, you'll be very disappointed!!

Over and out.

A solid, underrated Star Wars game

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2002.)

INTRODUCTION:
Whenever a new Star Wars game is released, there's plenty of marketing to be done. With each new film's release comes plenty of toys, products, and, of course, new Star Wars video games. Unfortunately, Star Wars video games, despite the films they are based upon being the magnum opus of science fiction, are often hit and miss in their execution. For every Rogue Leader, there's a Masters Of Teras Kasi to drag the reputation of the series down a notch. When Episode II was released, several video games came out around the same time. Among them was Clone Wars. Read on for my review of this game.

OVERVIEW:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released in 2002, around the same time as the Episode II film. The game features ground-based objective-oriented combat. It can be played in a single-player quest mode or multiplayer combat modes.

REVIEW:
This is one of the more underrated Star Wars games out there. It's nothing revolutionary for the franchise, but a definite step up from some of the utter nonsense that makes it onto systems. The game is interesting, because there is no other Star Wars game out there like it. In this game, you participate in vehicular combat (usually ground-based.) With objective-based gameplay that usually takes place on the ground, this game seems like a cross between Star Wars: Rogue Leader for the Gamecube and Spy Hunter (the more-recent remake version.) The action is fast and furious, and the thrill never lets up. One interesting thing to note - when you're firing at an enemy, a cursor appears on the enemy which makes them easier to track and shoot, as well as see how much life they have left. This is an awesome feature, and I really think Lucas Arts should integrate it into other Star Wars-based games. It's also convenient that the game lets you leave off on the portion of a mission you were last on when you fail, rather than making you start the whole mission over. This makes the game all the more appealing. Many of the Star Wars characters you know and love are in the game, along with many other characters and worlds, old and new alike. This is nothing revolutionary as far as games in the Star Wars universe go, but it's still entertaining, and the multiplayer mode only adds to the replay value. Of course, even a good game like this has problems. The graphics are a major one. When you're not in a vehicle, or when there are cut scenes, the graphics suck. This is a rare example of a game in which the gameplay graphics look better than the ones in the cutscenes! Gameplay also has its repetitive moments, as well as moments of confusion and frustration. The flaws in this game are undeniable, but this is still a very good game overall. When you compare the two multi-console games that came out in this era, this game and Bounty Hunter, this game is the winner. Sure, Bounty Hunter has better graphics, but overall this is the superior game. Buy it if you're a Star Wars fan.

EDITION NOTES:
This game has gone out of print, but copies seem to turn up in used video game shops on a fairly regular basis. It is in fairly high demand though, being a Star Wars game and all, so you might have to shell out some more cash for it than your typical used game - just be warned.

OVERALL:
Overall I've gotta say, I'm pretty satisfied with Clone Wars. No, it's not my favorite Star Wars game, but it's definitely up there. In a world of Star Wars games that are hits and misses, this one is definitely one of the hits. If you're a fan of all things Star Wars, this is one of the games you should consider owning. Recommended. Four out of five stars.

I realy want this for myself

The game is great. You can fly or drive so many different ships. Its awesome. The best mission is where you evacuate a ice planet before its taken over. The multiplayer options areeven better.

very repetative

It seems to me, with very rare exception, that for the last ten years, 80% of the Star Wars games that are released are all (basically) clones of the old 'Rebel Assault' PC title. Dress them all up anyway you want, but when all's said and done, you're really playing the same game.

You will have several different vehicles to pilot as well as being on foot, but the whole game's plot is essentially the same: finish the level as fast as you can without getting killed ... that's it. There's not a lot of strategy involved past that, that's about it. Frustrating part is, they could have stuck to the mold and still added a little variety. For example, how about letting us pilot one of those AT-ATs for a little while?

The one thing that I had hoped may be a saving grace would be the animated cut-scenes between levels, but even they were a little sub-par. Aside from the animation being (at best) average, there were too few of them. Even the ending animation scene was only about a minute or two! I finished the game and that's all I'm rewarded with?

I'll also answer the question that I know at least a few of you have. No ... this game will not lend any hints to what may be ahead in the new Episode III and does nothing to advance the plot of the prequel trilogy. They may have been able to sell a few more titles if this game was a little more tied to the plot of the movies. The recently released 'Enter the Matrix' game as a terrific example to what I'm talking about. On a side note, it was nice though to see an old character from the comic books named Ulric Qel-Droma make an appearance.

So, as been stated before, if you liked Rebel Assault (I or II), Starfighter, Bounty Hunter, and Jedi Starfighter ... etc etc ... then this is probably going to be right up your alley. One the other hand, if (like me) you're getting a little burned-out on this style of play, this isn't going to do ANYTHING for you.

Very simple game
