Story
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes lets Star Wars fans young and old live out the sweeping galactic adventures of the Clone Wars. For the first time ever, players can fight as their favorite Jedi and clone troopers from the preeminent animated television series – from familiar faces like Anakin Skywalker to new heroes like Clone Captain Rex. A brand-new storyline, which bridges the gap between season one and two, takes the player on a multifaceted adventure to stop a mysterious techno assassin’s destructive plot. Built around two-player cooperative action, the accessible controls and family-friendly gameplay bring Star Wars fans across generations together like never before to fight the evil Separatists and restore peace to the galaxy.

Gameplay
Gameplay in Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes is mission-based. Players can choose to approach the action as either a Jedi or a clone class character. Playing as a Jedi you have access to eight playable characters, and as a clone you play as one of a group of clones. The game was developed with co-op play in mind, which means players can more or less count on never fighting alone, which is a good thing considering the hordes of battle droids and other enemies you will face. The game also features a puzzle-solving gameplay component, as well as an upgrade system based on the collection of "Force Orbs" scattered throughout the game environment.

Weapons and Combat
Keeping with the games' user friendly approach, the control scheme has been designed with Jedi character's lightsaber and force powers, as well as clone characters firing trigger accessible from a single input source. Because of the difference in the character classes weapons, combat differs depending on the class chosen. Due to their reliance on the their lightsabers, Jedi will mostly engage enemies at close range, although force power attacks can allow for more distance from targets. In addition, utilizing Jedi powers at point blank range players are able to engage in "droidjacking," which allows a Jedi to take control of a droid's weapons system and other abilities. On the other hand, clone character combat relies more on firepower, utilizing a variety of blaster type weapons and thermal grenades, although clones are able to acquire heavier weapons, such as miniguns and rocket launchers as the game progresses. Because of the projectile nature of these weapons clone character combat can be fought as a variety of distances.

Great for 9 year old Clone Wars TV Show Fan
 
Review Date: February 16, 2010
Reviewer: W. Fujimoto, Honolulu, Hawaii
My 9 year old, who is a fan of the Clone Wars TV show loves the game. He plays it on the Wii with motion control. He said it is way more fun than Light Saber Duels, which he feels is mostly light saber battling. He enjoys the story and the ability to play as one of the show characters. I gather from the other reviews, it is not a game for teens or adults, but for children who can play for a whole hour without getting sore arms. I notice that he prefers to play with the motion control wand and the numchuk and not the light saber, which he also owns. I guess it saves the arms.
Son loves it!

My 10 year old is a huge Clone Wars fan so he had to have the next game out. He really is enjoying it and loves the different modes and being able to buy different things on here with what hes earned. He would give it 5 stars all around, I knocked one off for graphics though. From what I've seen, it really reminds me of an older school game, maybe for the PS2 or even 1. I would expect a bit more for the price and platform, but he is happy with it so I have no real complaints, I don't play Star Wars so thats what matters!
Comes up too short.

Reviewer: sunny samson,
This product was fun while it lasted, me and my brother played this and finished it in five days. The effects are pretty good, but dying is a big pain. And the best part of the game is fliping and doing tricks, thats blast. But really that is the only fun of it. Overall don't waste your money and buy it, but if you really want to play it, rent it.
Controls limited, good movies in between
 
Review Date: January 1, 2010
Reviewer: J. Attridge, Earlysville, VA United States
Bought this b/c it was on sale and my middle son really likes SW - CW. He's 6 and I think the controls are v. awkward for me and my 11 yo and for a 6 yo nearly impossible. Frustrating game play with little skill involved for the most part, then boss battles where the continual clues are NOT helpful. I would not recommend this game at current prices, maybe for $5 or less for video sequences in the game for fans.

I generally have found Wii control games to be fairly intuitive and even fun. This was definitely not. Haven't tried yet in 2 player mode, maybe that will be easier.

Ultimately, this feels like a cop out that is capitalizing (obviously) on the name brand. Kinda sad as I had hoped for more. I'll be sure to read reviews more carefully in the future for these things.
Very good

It was very good but needs something else, don't know exactly what to add, like improving the control movements and the camera perspective. But is something worth a try, it was fun.
