  1. The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes is not convincing. Enthusiastic Star Wars fans and younger gamers may take a look, for the rest we can’t recommend to spend money on it.

    Unless you or your kids want to play as Jedi or clone troopers just for the sake of doing so, then there's really nothing here that'll keep anyone, young or old, interested for very long. Even if it does, you or your kin are bound to be frustrated at numerous sections and will likely wind up putting down the controller sooner or later.

    A game that’s meant to be for kids but got to many platform problems. The graphics are also crap and the gameplay isn’t a lot better. It’s got a lot of playable characters and the cooperative option is fun, but overall this game is pretty bad.
  4. The game may be long but every level seems the same as the last, making it feel more like a repetitive endurance run than a game.

    Plain and simple this is a game for kids and it excels at that. hard core gamers and follow the leader game sites can't write an honest review to save their lives. Ask any 8 year old to rate it and it's a 10 hands down. Expand

    I can't really see why this game gets so low scores, I really can't. I have the PC version, and with everything on full, the game looks almost to a point of the Clone Wars TV show running on various channles. There are minor problems with the controls, but you can overcome that pretty fast. The other thing that could have been better are the camera, but it's not as bad as some people say, I've seen worse than this in some other games... Graphics: 8/10 Story : 7.5/10 Controls : 6.5/10 Camera : 5.5/10 Overall : 7/10. Expand
