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. Key Game Features - Experience an all-new and exciting Clone Wars storyline that bridges the gap between season one and two of the TV series as you learn more about the mysterious bounty hunter Cad Bane and hunt down the all-new Skakoan super villain Kul Teska.
- Play as your favorite Jedi heroes including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, and Kit Fisto.

 Clone wars fan, JACKPOT! |

| This game is a JACKPOT to any clone wars fan! It's like a lego game but not legos, same "drop in, drop out" Co-op play, made up movie cut-scenes in between levels that are AWESOME, and any other thing you could think of about the lego series. It's A LOT of fun overall! You can be a lot of different characters like... Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Obi-wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Luminara Unduli, and Aalya Sacura. Plus you can be Clones to and blast into action with Rex, Cody, Kano, Switch, Ponds, Bly, Gree, Boomer, "Rookies" and much more! It's fun to be a Jedi in one level and then Clones on the next. I personally like being the clones and shoot rifles, explode grenades, Blast rocket launchers, Throw "droid poppers" and do a lot more! Use the force, lightsaber, blaster, and vehicles in this fun experience of a new adventure in the CLONE WARS! |
Just a very bad game.

The game is not fun to play. It might to nice to watch on rare occasions, but the controls are terrible and the entire game is fairly repetitive. Yes, there are different characters, but they're all relatively the same--just Jedis and Troopers. The puzzles are easy--which is good for a kids game--but the physics system and hit detection is horrible.
Stay away from this game unless it's for someone you don't like or it's for a child who doesn't have a good grasp of what a good game is and is very patient when they jump on a platform only to fall through it. |
Fun game for young Star Wars fans

| The 9 year old boy who received this game as a gift really liked it. Fun to play if you are a Star Wars fan. Not terribly difficult. Enough enjoyment for the money. |
My 4 and 6 year olds love this game. Definitely not for adult SW fans though...

As a long time Star Wars fan and a fan of the new Clone Wars series, I've been looking for a game similar to SW Battlefront for my kids. While not a game that I myself can play for too long, it's easily a favorite of my sons and they keep it in their regular cycle with their lego, spiderman and ironman games.
The controls were easy for them to adopt, and the penalty for death is similar to lego games: if you're killed, you just re-spawn. The extra perks like helmet/mask purchasing, droid riding and dancing, and special upgrades are enough to keep them coming back.
...And I'll admit, seeing notable troopers like Denal and Ponds in action, along with some really cool looking trooper additions, was enough to keep me watching while they played the first few times. A great family game, even if not up to the caliber of more adult-oriented action games |
Not as fun as watching the tv series

| I am a big fan of STAR WARS and I enjoy the TV series "War Clones." I have to admit I was a bit dissapointed with this game. It did not meet my expectations because the graphics were just OK and the controls were not that great. |
