Star Wars: The Clone Wars previews

chautemoc | July 16, 2008 | Press Release | Wii DS E3 2008 
Mostly it's been all talk about The Force Unleashed lately, and rightfully so. But make some room for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, arriving on DS and Wii later this year. The Clone Wars film and TV series bridge the gap between the Episode II and III films, and the games aim to bring players further into that world.

Developed by Krome Studios, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels (ah, the downsides of IPs) is built from the ground up for the Wii and features an intuitive motion-controlled combat system that "puts the Lightsaber in your hand."

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, made by LucasArts, allows players to join forces with a Jedi of their choice to fight as one.

The release date has been pushed back from the last announcement; we can expect both titles in time for the holidays this winter.



STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS: LIGHTSABER DUELS (Wii)

• Fight the most memorable duels from The Clone Wars feature film and TV series.

• Wield your Wii Remote like a Lightsaber and experience first-hand the unique weapon of the Jedi knights with intuitive controls, so no matter what your gaming experience you can become a Lightsaber master.

• Play with your friends as your favorite Clone Wars hero or villain – from familiar characters like Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous to new faces like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress – each with a unique fighting style and set of skills.

• Exploit your interactive surroundings to defeat your opponent: slice down pillars and Force throw them against your foe.

• Duel your way through significant Clone Wars locations, such as Tatooine and Teth.

STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS: JEDI ALLIANCE (Nintendo DS)

• Play through an original story – exclusive to the Nintendo DS – that expands The Clone Wars series in exciting new directions.

• Create your own Jedi dream teams by pairing Jedi Masters and Padawans. For example, team up Anakin Skywalker with Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Ahsoka Tano with Mace Windu.

• Develop the relationship between two Jedi and generate more powerful attacks and special abilities. Replay missions with different character combinations to unlock new areas, collectibles, and other secrets.

• Play with a friend using the drop-in/drop-out coop feature via Wireless.

• Control all movement, Lightsaber combat and cinematic action sequences with just the DS stylus.

    It looks like it's just the neglected child compared to the Force Unleashed. Hmm, play a crappy movie, or play as a badass Sith?
