From Amazon.com
Another title to add to the Star Wars gaming shelf, The Clone Wars picks up where the movie Episode II: Attack of the Clones leaves off. In fact, the very first battle in this game re-creates the climactic battle in the movie, with you leading the clone army and blasting every droid in sight. Not big on strategy, Clone Wars is your basic arcade-style shoot-'em-up game. If you liked Star Wars: Starfighter, this game’s for you.
You control the Jedi leading the Republic's clone army, sometimes fighting as Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, or other familiar Jedi as the war takes you from planet to planet. As the leader, you may issue squad commands to teammates, allowing them to act independently and assist you in your mission. Your ships and weapons are varied, giving you the pleasure of piloting everything from zippy speeder bikes to the impressive Republic Gunship. Soar over ice fields and desertscapes, or maneuver through labyrinthine galactic scrap yards, leaving robotic wreckage behind as you blast through enemy ranks. And every so often you actually get to use your lightsaber as well.
The game is fun to play, the controls easy to master--but you won’t find a lot new or challenging if you’re an experienced gamer. Also, unlike its sibling, Bounty Hunter, the graphics leave a bit to be desired, but luckily this aspect of the game doesn’t detract much from the gameplay. The pure pleasure in this game lies in becoming a part of the Star Wars universe. And, of course, blowing up robots. --Maile Bohlmann
Pros:
- High-intensity play
- Fun, classic Star Wars music
- Four multiplayer modes
Cons:
- Silly voiceovers
- Graphics aren’t very detailed and color palette is limited
- Plotline is threadbare
- Overall, not very challenging or unique

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Video Game)
It's alright. It wasn't the best Star Wars game I've ever played, but it definitely wasn't the worse. I went in to the game thinking I was going to be dropped into huge roaring battle fields. Although you get the feeling that there is a large landscape out there over a number of locations you get to visit, your movement through them feels quite linear. There is plenty of action during the battles with various vehicles to hop into. There are a large number of enemies to battle, but not all at once. They just kinda come in waves, and all at you. There's little feeling that you're part of a bigger battle, which is what I was hoping for. With the few exceptions here and there, I got the feeling every now and then that they took the same 3 levels and put them on repeat; Okay, now drive a tank. Okay now fly a ship. Okay now run around. Okay, now drive a tank. Okay now fly a ship. Okay, now get on a speeder. Okay, now drive a tank.... etc.Although I was happy with the difficulty of the levels overall, I found the boss battles very challenging. Perhaps it was because I played Battlefront (which I loved) before I played clone wars, I was expecting something more like that, just with heavy emphasis on the vehicles. And although I did have some fun, and there was lots of time in the vehicles, the game as a whole came in below my expectations. It's fun for a quick Star Wars fix, but not the shining star from the franchise.

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.

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.
