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...

Just played the demo and it feels great, if you are a fan of the tv series ''Clone Wars'' then your in for a treat and even if you have never watched the series its just a whole new set of stories to be immersed into in lego's unique way of story-telling.

Now though Lego Star Wars Returns in the guise of The Clone Wars, the third Lego based Star Wars title; this time being based on the TV Show of the same name. There are three story modes to play through all working their way through many of the episodes from the first two seasons of The Clone Wars...

Despite these issues however, it remains some of the best single player and co-op fun that you can have on your console (though we're still waiting for online co-op to return). After all, there's few things in life less enjoyable that slicing through enemies with a little tiny lightsaber.

This is the Lego game that we've been waiting for, and the Lego Star Wars game that we've wanted for a while. Get the game, it's a keeper.

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,...

Lack of necessity is the mother of invention

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
