Just how much has the Lego franchise evolved since the series shot into the stratosphere with Lego Star Wars and its sequel? As you pew-pew and swoosh-swoosh your way through Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, you'll probably change your mind a few times, as we did.

+ Lots of gameplay variety and Jedi action; best-looking Lego game yet, + Really captures the feel of the Clone Wars cartoon and universe

- Unit-building battles and system-exploring are good experiments, but not very fun; needs better direction/tutorials in spots; no online co-op, ? How about an all-new Star Wars tale, told with Legos? We'd love that

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is another Traveller's Tales venture into the Star Wars universe, this time covering events from Season 1 of the The Clone Wars TV show. If you haven't seen it I would suggest tracking it down (it's a damn sight better than most of the prequel crap) but I doubt it...

The LEGO franchise still offers plenty of depth and fun, but some sections throughout The Clone Wars are amazingly clunky and the RTS mechanic is almost pointless. Playing on local split-screen is almost impossible thanks to the shocking camera, and seeing as co-op is at the heart of the franchise,...

This was a Christmas gift for my grandson. They are very active boys. This game held their interested and they looked it.

Bought this for the kids cos & now they're busy playing it which means no bother for me... kids are happy playing it & i can wage war in peace !!!;-]
