A mediocre Star Wars game at best

Advantages: Good representation of the tv series, kids will find some enjoyment in it
Disadvantages: Repetitive gameplay, loose controls, generally very rough around the edges

...products of the Star Wars name is an animated television series called The Clone Wars. Effectively set between Episode II and Episode III, it tells a number of stories in half hour episodes set in the Clone Wars conflict. Being a cartoon it clearly aims to rope in the younger audience to an extent, and then aims to keep them entertained through that classic mix of lightsabers and, well, other science fiction things. But it?s all about the lightsabers really. Following on from the television series is Star Wars: Republic Heroes, is the latest in a very long line of Star Wars games. And whilst there have been some excellent Star Wars games over the years, there have also been a lot of pretty terrible ones as well. So where does this latest offering fit on the grand scale? PREMISE/PRESENTATION As should be abundantly clear by now, Republic...

Review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes (PS3)

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

Advantages: A solid Star Wars score with an absolutely fantastic new theme
Disadvantages: Muddy recording quality and a little less exciting action for a Star Wars score

...Now that the Star Wars prequel saga has reached its Third and final episode I think its time I handled the remaining Episodes in my soundtrack evaluations, handling Episode II first. With The Phantom Menace proving to be a big disappointment for audiences due to its weak story, incredibly irritating and silly characters, and the over-reliance on CGI, there was much less expectation and trepidation for Attack of the Clones. With Anakin Skywalker now grown up he is assigned along with his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi to protect Princess Padmé Amidala who has recently become a senator and whose life is now being threatened. This then leads to a forbidden romance between Anakin and Padmé, the consequences proving to be far-reaching as we all know. And furthering the rise of the Galactic Empire is the Trade Federation's creation of an army...

Review of Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones - Original Soundtrack

Clone Wars Gunship (Hasbro)

Advantages: Strong, well designed, colourful and packed with features. Great Star Wars toy.
Disadvantages: Sadly, it comes without action figures (which you will need to buy separately).

...Star Wars Toys have been around for 30 years and they just keep getting better and better. Following this year's cinema release of the Clone Wars Movie this is a perfect toy for any Star Wars fan !!! This toy was originally released as an Attack of The Clones "Republic Gunship" in 2002. Back then is was mostly grey with very little detail. Now redesigned by Hasbro as the "Clone Wars Gunship" this is a massive improvement and one that has been welcomed by fans. The Clone War Gunship has been given a very effective customized look and is packed with special features for added play value. The cockpit can fit 2 Clone Pilots, the side panels slide open and the inner landing platform detaches to deploy Clone Troopers into battle. There are also a number of firing weapons, missiles and bombs. This is simply a great toy ... ideal to...

Review of Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars Gunship

Star Wars Clone Wars Animated Series Vol.1

Advantages: Great character design. Interesting Stories
Disadvantages: A bit short.

...This is the first series of the Clone Wars cartoon series which fills in some of the gap between the second and thirds episodes of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. There is a lot to enjoy here. I love the animation style used here which is very stylised and full of energy. The series is produced by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, and the look and design of Clone Wars owes a lot to that series. All the main characters from the Prequels return in animated form along with a few new characters such as the evil Sith Apprentice Asij Vantress. With the exception of C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) the voices are done by a cast of experienced voice actors and they do a great job, although there is noticably little dialogue in this first series. The series itself was originally broadcast...

Review of Star Wars - Clone Wars Vol.1 (DVD)

Obi Wan Kenobi ... hero of the Clone Wars !!!

Advantages: Great design, well made and lots of accessories.
Disadvantages: Costly ... you don't get much change from a tenner these days when buying an action

... ~ Background Information ~ The new Star Wars Animated Clone Wars Movie (and TV Series) has added yet more great storylines, locations, characters and vehicles to the ever-expanding Star Wars Universe. It has also introduced a whole new generation of younger fans to that Galaxy far, far away ..... ~ Hasbro Toys ~ Hasbro has been producing a wide range of Star Wars products for many years [from kids toys to adult collectables] and they have pulled out all the stops for the Animated Clone Wars range. Everything from the simple [but effective] packaging design to the quality of the toys themselves has been exremely well thought out and in my opinion the Clone Wars toys are some of Hasbro's finest to date. The characters in the traditional 3.75" range look awesome ... and Obi Wan Kenobi is a fine example...

The Clone Wars, Begun They Have!!!

Advantages: Good animation and action sequences, terrific music
Disadvantages: So-so extras, lack of plot coherency

...Star Wars: Clone Wars is an animated feature designed to bridge the gap between the films Episode II (Attack of the Clones) and Episode III (Revenge of the Sith). It comes in 2 volumes, this obviously being the first. The first volume was originally designed to be a series of 3 minute commercials but ended up being combined to an approximately 1 hour long feature. The animation style is something approaching anime (I know nothing about anime but the director says in one the "Making Of" featurette that they aimed for a similar but not identical style.) Traditional 2D animation is used except for the ships themselves, which are computer animated. The action comes in thick and fast, with the eye candy factor quite dazzling at times. This doesn't make up entirely for a lack of coherent plot, though this is not the developers fault as...

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones - Jedi Quality

Advantages: Great Special Effects, Great Sound Track, Hours of Bonus Material
Disadvantages: Story Could Have Been Stronger, Hayden Christensen

...I will try and keep this review as un-bias as possible, however I do have to admit that I am a bit of a Star Wars fan! Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is the sequel to Episode I: The Phantom Menace, it begins around 10 years after the first instalment of this prequel trilogy and in many ways it is a huge improvement. This time around the story is aimed at the frustrated love between an older Anakin Skywalker and the now senator Padme Amidala, while the rest of the film revolves around this plot, the remainer of the film seems to be the more interesting with twists and turns and some great action scenes. The majority of the actors deliver a great performance, McGregor continues in his role as Obi Wan Kenobi and is as great as ever, Portman again plays Amidala, however this time is not irritating in the slightest (apposed...
