   This game could've been a lot better. The screen views are too small most of the time, and it's very uncomfortable to control the camera angles on two player mode. The game is one of the shortest of this series, and doesn't have a good replay value.

   After renting the PS3 version and finding it underwhelming in the graphics department, I figured I'd save some money and get the last gen version. That was a mistake. This version is not only waaay too low res compared to the average PS2 game much lower than even the Wii version. Not only that, but there were glitches galore. AI Jedi will constantly run into walls. Enemies will get stuck. After dealing with 4 levels of this, I gave up. This is probably the most inferior version of this game. Unless your a hardcore Clone Wars fan with only a PS2, I'd pass.

   when I bought this game I first thought it was going to be very har but when I played it it was great but it was just a little boring sometimes.The fun part about ther game is that you get to be your favorite clone(i perfer being clones more than jedi)and get to fight droids and villians.The boring part is that it's more like playing a children's mini video game. But the game is still great!!!!

   Got this for the PS2 because its currently the only major console I own right now. For a PS2 Star Wars game, its actually quite fun. The gameplay tends to be a little clunky at first, since there are far too many moves you can make with far too few of the controls. As a result, you make quite a few unintended moves. However, once you get a knack for how they work, and you get a semblance of control, the fun factor increases.
   
   The game is based on the current Clone Wars cartoon, and falls in between seasons I and II. I'm about halfway thru it, and the story is typical Star Wars fare. The Separatists have developed a new superweapon, and the Jedi have to destroy it. However, the story enables you to play as a variety of characters. From the obligatory mainstays of Anakin and Obi-wan, to fan favorites like Mace Windu and Aayla Secura, and even varies it a little by letting you take control of some clone troopers. Going a step further, there are times when your character will take control of vehicles, such as the STAP and the one-man walkers. But, going back to the clunky control scheme, these areas are only mildly entertaining.
   
   Given the fact that you will die a lot, the designers thankfully have allowed for unlimited lives, and reaching the next checkpoint, where your character will respawn, is mostly fairly easy. The stages are well designed, though a bit repetitive, but with nicely rendered backgrounds there's plenty of planetary Star Wars scenery to enjoy. Collectible articfacts and orbs are scattered about the various stages giving an incentive for exploration.
   
   The graphics are nothing cutting edge, pretty standard for the PS2, especially for a game like this. It seems to me that the game was rushed into distribution, to capitalize on the release of the Season I DVDs and the new season premiere. However, there is fun to be had. It plays a lot like Jedi Power Battles, which, for me, was one of the best Jedi fighting games ever. To finally have another chance to play as Jedi and dispatch droid enemies with cool lightsaber action is enough incentive to play this game.
   
   To rent or buy will probably depend on your love of Star Wars or appreciation for top notch gaming. I have to say, this is mostly a game for Star Wars fans.
