The Clone Wars in single player mode is a pretty fun action game. Most of the time, you are in a hovering fighter tank, but there are a few levels where you get to pilot a Republic Gunship, a speeder bike, and an ATT. Sometimes you even get to go out on foot with a lightsaber. There is not much strategy involved, and you are mostly just destroying enemies with blaster fire, lasers, and missles. This is not necessarily a bad thing, though. It is fun to pilot the different craft, and I thought that some of the crashes of the enemy ships were pretty cool. If you're into this type of thing, you'll probably have fun. If not, I guess you should just look elsewhere. The single player mode is enjoyable, but it is not quite as good as that of Star Wars: Rogue Leader. But, The Clone Wars does have something that Rogue Leader doesn't, and that is multiplayer. The Clone Wars has four different types of multiplayer. The first is Duel, in which you are basically just trying to kill your opponent(s) a certain number of times within a certain time limit The second, Control Zone, is sort of like King of the Hill. You must try to stay within a circular area for as long as you can in order to gain points. The third multiplayer mode is called Conquest. You choose a team (red or blue), each of which has two different vehicles, unique to that team. The blue team has the Republic's fighter tank and walker, and the red team has the Federation's fighter tank and ATT. Players must try to get as many outposts as they can and then try to destroy the opposite team's base. The outposts are small, simple buildings scattered across the terrain, and when you enter a neutral one, four gun turrets and two units (ATT or walker) are automatically produced. The units are essential in destroying your opponent's base, and you can give them orders using the D-pad. If the four turrets surrounding an outpost are destroyed, the outpost becomes neutral again. The last multiplayer mode is called Academy. There are two types of Academy; one is played with a vehicle from the game trying to destroy as many "waves" of enemy vehicles as possible with out dying, and the other is played with a character out on foot with either a lightsaber or a blaster, trying to destroy as many waves of Genosians and battle droids as possible. All of these multiplayer modes, except Academy, allow you to select an arena to play in. The arenas are based upon areas in the single player game. The multiplayer is quite enjoyable and fun. I highly recommend Conquest mode in an area called Kashykk. Overall, The Clone Wars is a good game, but not really a great game.

First of all I love the Star Wras Fighter series games, especially the games for Game Cube and for PC. I also own a PS2, however for some strange reason, they just don't seem as fun on it. Anyway, back to the review. Clone Wars is an extraordinary fighter flight sim game. Along with some on foot battles and absolutely amazing flight fighting, this particular game completely blows my mind, with it's amazing graphics, it's perfection on controls and lack of any lag whatsoever, this game is by far my favorite game in the series. I also own Rogue Leader and still love that game, but so far Clone Wars just simply delivers about an ounce more overall fun in gameplay that Rogue Leader was lacking, and believe me, Rogue Leader dosn't lack a whole lot. I highly recommend Clone Wars to anyone who is a fan of the Star Wars games. For those of you who have been sceptical to try out the Star Wars series games, I think that this is the one to buy. It, like the other games also has a number of different diffaculty levels for those who are a little shy to try the Jedi and harder difaculty settings, but it is quite simply one of the funnest flight shooter games that I have ever played. Along with a wide variety of vehicles to use in gameplay, (including a walking vehicle which is very cool), this game is just totally fun. I guess I'm babbling so I wil quit now, however buy the game, it's sooo worth it. Trust me, hours of fun!!! I mean my girlfriend even likes it!!! That says a LOT!!!

With Episode III of the Star Wars saga hitting theaters next year, Lucasfilm licensing is taking the time to flesh out the battles of the Clone Wars through various forms of media - this video game is one of them. You start out at the battle of Geonosis from Episode II and work your way through the war campaign by campaign.

If you've ever played any of the games in the Rogue Squadron series (and by extension Battle for Naboo and Starfighter) you'll know what to expect. However, whereas those games required a more thoughtful and tactical approach to each mission, Clone Wars puts the emphasis on all-out carnage. Mission objectives are really vague excuses for you to blast and blow up the hoardes of enemies the game tosses at you. There are missile and health refills aplenty, and the convoys you occasionally have to protect are in nowhere near the danger the ones in Rogue Squadron faced. I wouldn't say the game is easy, but it's not nerve-wracking either. It's like a cheat version of Rogue Squadron where you get to blow stuff up and go crazy without worrying too much about the consequences, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The graphics are okay. Emphasis was placed on getting as many bad guys onscreen with a respectable framerate instead of making everything look pretty, and it was a smart decision. You'll be too busy staying alive to care that the visuals aren't as advanced as other titles. Sound and story, which LucasArts usually excels at, are disappointing here. The in-game sounds are great, but the cutscenes are compressed. The story itself isn't that great either, with bland voice-acting. I'd rather fight seperate, non-related missions than have them all link together with a convoluted story.

In the end, Clone Wars is a decent game to pick up and play for a few rounds of mayhem. It's not a standout game by any means, but it's a recommended purchase for Star Wars fans and anyone wanting mindless excitement.
