    We'd love to see a Wii MotionPlus-enahnced version of this game, but until then leave this one in a galaxy far, far away. [Holiday 2008, p.89]

    But to finally give us a lightsaber game, even a crap one, and not enable us to take on the role of Luke Skywalker and battle Darth Vader? That’s just freaking cruel.

    The Clone Wars is spared irrelevance by its style and personality, but only just. [Jan 2009, p.108]

    All quibbles about presentation and content aside, the game is simply incapable of delivering the sort of fluid gameplay the concept demands.

I put off buying the game due to low review scores, but after a furious week of playing, I realized that the low review scores are simply due to fanboy reviewers crying "I like your old stuff better than your new stuff".
