Good enough to rent, but not to buy

The game Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (SWAC) picks up where Star Wars Episode 2 left off - A massive battle filled with droids and clones and jedi. The story goes on from there to tell of the unearthing of a Sith artifact that could destroy the Republic.

In the game, you play as Obi Wan, Anikin, or Mace (Samuel Jackson). There are a variety of vehicles to pilot: hover tanks, land-walkers, droid tanks, speeders, and assault ships. And while all of that may sound like a lot - the game actually feels pretty constricted. Through most of the game, you're doing the same three things: straffing, firing missles, and occasionally zooming in on targets. (The exception being on 2 missions where the emphasis is on racing in your speeder, which is pretty cool).

Although the cutscenes are pretty nice, the rest of the graphics are sub-par. The sound is pretty much straight from the movie, but you'll get annoyed at hearing blasters all the time.

This game is a fun little distraction. I beat it in about two days on the medium setting - which is not a long time at all. So if you're a big Star Wars fan, check out this game at your videostore and save your money for a better game.

Great Game, but it's too Short

I'm a die hard Star Wars fan... I religiously buy all the games and stuff. I loved Obi-Wan for Xbox, and Jedi Starfighter. I wasn't too impressed with Clone Wars' Length of gameplay and options. Basically you're stuck in a vehicle except for a couple small bit parts. Graphics are incredible which gives the game a plus!

Well Done Lucas Arts!

The graphics in this game are the best. They run so smoothly. The sound is awesome, and the controls arent hard to figure out at all. This game has a cool idea, where not only do you walk around with your lightsabers, you get to piolet speeders, jets, and some land robot vehicles. This game will have you playing for hours it is so addictive, you just can't put it down. Even if you don't normally like star wars games you should rent this game and see what i mean. Its an overall great game for anyone. I defenetelly think you should rent or buy this game.

Great blasting fun - especially live!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is out for all console platforms, and lets you roam the Episode II world as Mace Windu, Obi-Wan and of course Anakin.

You start out near the end of Episode II, racing your way to the arena and then fighting off the enemy troops after the arena battle. The game continues onward, letting you control hover-tanks, Republic gun-ship, speeders, and more. In addition there are ground combat situations where you're wielding your light-saber against various enemies.

Much like the various other Star Wars games, there are a series of loosely-connected missions with main and bonus objectives on each one. You have to take out the enemy units. Escort the convoy. Destroy the main guns. The convoy shape and enemy units of the day change, but the basic tasks are the same.

That's not to say it isn't fun! Pod Racer just involved racing a pod on various tracks, and we loved that. I'm a big fan of flying combat so the variety of vehicles and situations was quite enjoyable. The graphics are quite good, with plasma bursts having a series of green rings, fire-blasts looking quite realistic and dust clouds obscuring your vision. On the vehicles you drive the guns move, the antennae sway, the wing-trails dance behind you.

Even better for XBox fans, this game goes LIVE! All of the fun you have in single-player mode is merely a training session for true live combat. Team up with friends and coordinate attacks on the enemy. You can even download new maps!

Not a complex game requiring a lot of thought, but a fun way to blast through a weekend.

Not what I was hoping for

Me and another friend were a little tired of playing Halo online, and needed something different to play. Nothing I've found so far has been able to beat Halo. I saw this game, and was interested because it was a Star Wars game. The back said that it was multiplayer, so I picked it up. I soon learned that multiplayer doesn't mean that me and my friend can play this game together on a split screen. There were a couple of multiplayer games we could, but not through the story mode, and not online. Why go through the trouble to put just a couple of multiplayer arena's on this, and not make the whole game 2 player compatible?

So, I tried it online to see how it played. I was not impressed by it. It seemed mostly that the person that could hit the fire button the fastest was the winner. No real strategy. Seemed bland, and seemed to be missing something. It was the same feeling I had when playing MechWarrior online. It was fun the first couple of games, but just had no substance. I've probably played over a thousand games of Halo online, and I still find it to be a fun experience. At least you have to think and use strategy a little.

As for the story mode. It was pretty [bad] also. The graphics seemed ok, but the voice acting was pretty bad. Also, I could have really seemed to care less for the story. The whole game just couldn't hold my interest. Really wish I would have waited for it to become a bargain game before I bought it.

Great action and fun

This is a pure action game. The action is non-stop. If you're looking for a lot of strategy, role-playing, or anything else, then you need to find another game.
This game does one thing and does it very well. You change characters, weapons, and objectives often. Some are team based; some are individual campaigns. The cut scenes are pretty cool (if you're a Star Wars fan).
I love good action games and this one is great. Plus, I love the variety of objectives.
Finally, the Online capabilities make the game worth the money. There are four different types of games that are all fun. It's no Mech Assault as far as online fun, but it's still good. I'd compare it to Ghost Recon in that it's fun to play but not great. The one problem with the online game is that you need to play awhile to understand how to be effective. Overall, great game. I'd give it a 93/100 overall.

1-30 in a snap

Ugg, what can I say thats good about this game? Not much I'm afraid. The game play is weak and dull. The story is weak and dull. The multiplayer is weak and dull. The graphics are OK, but the cutscenes are horrible. The voices are "fakey" plus the dilouge is weak. The multiplayer is basicly whoever can fire rockets the fastest, wins. Very boring.

Gameplay: 3/10
Graphics: 4/10
Multiplayer: 2/10
Sound: 4/10
Overall: 4/10

I am very disapointed with Lucasarts this time...

Very good

This game is very good.It has a good mix of strategy and action.The only exception is that you can't use all the vechiles from the movie,the graphics are good and the X-box live feature can combat some of the problems.The levels are very challenging if your new to this.

allright.. i have never written a review here, nor did i ever actually plan to but i felt for the sake of all humanity that i should. this was just about the worst.. cheesiest game i have ever played. the one player sucked.. the multi player sucked.. the live play sucked. i honestly wouldnt even cross the street to take a dump on this game. thats how bad it is. dont waste your money.. its not even worth renting. this game alone brought me to the point where i never want to play another star wars game again. just because it has live support, it doesnt mean it saves it from being a huge piece of cow dung. you want great live games.. phantasy star and return to castle wolfenstein are your best bet. those games alone have kept my attention for the past few months straight. i dont really even need anything else. but as for this game.. well.. i would avoid this game like it was the plague at all costs.
