LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is the pinnacle of the LEGO Star Wars franchise. It maintains the humour and charm of the previous games, while improving the graphics and lighting engine and adding a more immersive mission selection experience. There are slight problems with repetition over the course of the entire game, and this can slow down the experience for some, but the LEGO charm often kicks in long before anyone would have decided to turn off the game out of frustration. In a pure marketing sense, there’s nothing that will make people go out and buy the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV Show and film DVD/Blu-Ray’s faster than LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. Just be warned, when you buy this game you’re going to invest a lot of time and money (especially on those aforementioned discs) into the recent Star Wars universe. Remember that addiction the first time you watched the original trilogy? Yeah, that’s about to come back with a vengeance.
Also, any time my soon-to-be wife turns round to me and says “You know what? I want to play that game”, the game in question automatically gets a few extra mental points.
If you haven’t played these retro(ish) Star Wars games, today is the perfect day to give them a try.
I am not a big Star Wars guy but I enjoyed Shadows of the Empire on the N64 I found it at a pawnshop one day for $20. I bought it and I still enjoy it from time to time I only own three Star Wars games in my collection Shadows of the Empire and both Force Unleashed games. I remember my grandmother would rent a game console during Xmas she grabbed the N64 and Shadows of the Empire I sat in front of the tv all the time with that game.
Even though I enjoyed it a lot when I was young. That game got destroyed in reviews.
James writes: "It doesn’t seem too long ago that I was reminiscing about the LEGO Star Wars game which birthed a legacy in 2005. As of right now however, it’s time to celebrate a later instalment from 2011, while also taking a look at how it went slightly off-piste in terms of the gameplay and the source of its narrative. I am of course referring to LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, which is full of innovation and probably doesn’t get enough credit for the things it attempted."
