    With its breadth of content, incredible amount of collectibles (even if their placement isn't as intuitive as I would like), and the new Assault game modes, this is one of the best Lego games created yet.

    A very good game, with great graphics and sound together with the signature LEGO games gameplay.

    One of the best Lego games so far, and the bigger challenge is a nice surprise.

    The main problem is that even with the replay value in each level, you probably won't really feel like replaying everything again. Unless you're a true completionist, there's not much of a draw to replaying a level that's essentially the same thing as a number of other stages.

    It's another enjoyable often humorous romp through the Star Wars Universe that is sure to be a joy fans both young and the young at heart.

    It's the best game in the LEGO Star Wars franchise, but it still has some annoying design flaws that affect gameplay.

    Lego Clone Wars nails the Lego look and sense of humor, but completely fails when it comes to evoking the lighthearted fun the series is known for. Surprisingly difficult and repetitious, it seems to be working against the player as hard as it can.

    Whether you measure this game on its graphics, its faithfulness to the source material, the many signs of creative effort that went into it,Whether you measure this game on its graphics, its faithfulness to the source material, the many signs of creative effort that went into it, or the immense amount of content and innovative gameplay offered, I find it hard to justify any rating less than 9. It's a really great game, shockingly underrated in my opinion, still (in 2014) one of the very best lego games made. For co op fun, especially parent-child team ups, this cannot be beaten. The cartoon it is based on has some aspects parents might find objectionable (like occasional character death), but it can also be great fun to watch an episode of the show and then go play that same lego gamified story level in the game.

    I played this amazing game on my ds when I was 5 years old. I just play the real game a LOT of years later. Fantastic. The only word that canI played this amazing game on my ds when I was 5 years old. I just play the real game a LOT of years later. Fantastic. The only word that can describe this game. It's good to see that they put a lot of dedication on this game. The new mechanics, the new characters, the new maps, the new spaceships. Even the ds version is good, with the limits of the console, but it's still good. This is definitely the best Lego game ever made. Today, Lego Star Wars is getting old and bad, and this game is the prove that the Lego Star Wars franchise is one of the best Lego Video Games Franchises. I think this game needs the attention he doesn't have. But in general, I love this game, and a lot of people love it. 10 is my final note. Definitely 10. Expand

    If you are a fan of Star Wars, LEGO, or fun in general you should give this game a shot. It plays like the two previous LEGO Star Wars titlesIf you are a fan of Star Wars, LEGO, or fun in general you should give this game a shot. It plays like the two previous LEGO Star Wars titles for the most part, with a few gameplay tweaks that improve and some that don't. Graphics are greatly improved, better textures and lighting, not everything is smooth and shiny this time, realistic rocks, environments and creatures are thrown in and improve the overall look of the game. You can now have two groups of characters, each at different sides of a level, accomplishing different tasks. Anakin may be on one side of a ship,you'll solve a puzzle, making it possible for Obi Wan on the other side of the level to do what he needed to, you simply hold down the Y button to switch between characters. There is a new hub, two battle-cruisers you can pass between and explore at your leisure, each with new things to build and discover as you collect more red and yellow bricks in-game. This is also how you select the level you want to play. There is a hologram monitor in the center of one of the ships where you can select star systems, planets and levels. As usual there is a lot of replay value because if you want to collect everything you'll have to play through each level multiple times with different characters, each with a different skill and able to access different parts of each level. This is a very simple game comprised of light platforming, mild puzzles, simple combat and a whole lot of collecting. You can't die, whenever your character does, he reappears instantly where he was, the only penalty is you lose a few of the studs(LEGO currency) you've collected. There are tons of characters to unlock and play as, you also get to drive virtually every vehicle available in the Clone Wars series and even some off-the-wall stuff like ice cream trucks and scooters. The one problem I had with the game were the new strategy levels where the developers tried to emulate games like Command and Conquer or Warhammer, only simplified. You command three characters and an army of troopers and try to disable enemy defenses and destroy bases and weaponry. Its like the games it tries to emulate in the most basic way possible. There is no real strategy, just an order in which you should destroy certain targets and the way you command your forces. It is really trial and error, with little instruction on what exactly you're supposed to be doing or how to do it it. You basically run around aimlessly till you luck out and figure out the correct order and how to destroy certain structures and die a lot, and I know I said there is no penalty for dying, but doing it over and over is boring and tedious. I can't imagine children enjoying these levels, and that is this game's core audience. The majority of the levels in the game are the fun platform or vehicle levels so this doesn't really hurt the game too much. Besides, you don't have to play these levels if you don't want to. LEGO Star Wars is a fun game for adults and children alike, and you don't have to worry about violence and language in this one. If you are an adult and can get over the fact that you're playing a game for children there is a lot of fun to be had here, and if you want 100% completion you'll need a lot of skill, a human partner sometimes, and a lot of free time.
