"Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes" should have been fun. It sets up from the end of the first season of the series, which is reasonably entertaining. On the plus side, the voice acting is decent and the story not too bad. Cutscene graphics are not bad, but could have been better, but the actual gameplay graphics are from the earlier PS2 era, rather than the next gen system. The camera is fixed and often too zoomed out, making the platforming inconsistent and unreliable. Combat is also inconsistent, and targeting doesn't always work well. The result is replaying sections over, though thankfully respawn points are never far apart. The missions are generally of short duration, and aren't very varied. There are a couple of nifty moves you can pull off with a simple touch of the controls, but Yoda constantly pops up to tell you how to do things, which gets highly annoying after 5 minutes. This is definitely aimed at the younger crowd, but even the young 'uns will most likely get bored or frustrated with this game. The force is weak with this one, Padawan. Rent only, if you must.
