Driving land-based vehicles works fairly well, and is actually fun in the game’s RTS-esque segments, but once you start flying in space, you just sort of have to wish your craft in the right direction. As a Jedi, you may be powerful enough to lift things with just your mind, but you’re apparently not powerful enough to actually aim them with any kind of accuracy, a real treat when you’re trying to assemble a droid piece by piece. The camera is remarkably gifted at showing you exactly what you don’t need to see, especially in single-player, which leads to many Death By Thing Off-Screen situations. It’s unimaginative busywork.Ĭlone Wars‘s controls don’t help ease the frustration or tedium, either. Needing rapid-fire weapons to take down a satellite instead of explosive weapons isn’t an intriguing twist on the mission. Based on the math, you’d think that blowing up six buildings would be twice as fun as blowing up three, but the addition of extra targets doesn’t make the levels more interesting, just longer. Sadly – or perhaps fittingly – this pattern repeats itself over and over again as you work your way through the three different story arcs that comprise the game.Įven when Clone Wars does have a good idea, such as the game’s RTS-like sequences where your aim is to take over enemy bases, then construct your own cannons, barracks, and air support stations, it ruins them by driving them into the ground. It’s not so terrible if you’re playing co-operatively, but if you’re on your own, it quickly becomes a tedious chore. This bland repetition sets the tone for the rest of the game if you do something once in Clone Wars, you can expect to do it another three, four, or five times. Then switch back to Padme and do it all over again. Switch control to a Jedi and hit X to slash the monster with your light saber. To kill one of the creatures set loose in the arena, you must take control of Padme, then hit B to restrain the creature. The epic Jedi fight from Episode II serves as the setting, with the level replicating various events from that scene (minus Padme’s conveniently ripped shirt). Your first warning that something isn’t quite right with Clone Wars occurs during the game’s very first level, set in the arena on Geonosis.
