Retro_Link Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/981/981531p1.html Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes allows players to take up arms on behalf of the noble Galactic Republic, while pursuing the mysterious bounty hunter Cad Bane and combating the all-new Skakoan super villain Kul Teska. Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes allows players to fight as both Jedi Knights and Clone Troopers through over 30 unique missions, all created incorporating the same ground-breaking, stunning visual style from the TV series. Featuring a brand-new storyline, players will get the chance to take part in the key events that lead directly into the highly anticipated second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Jedi characters can slice and dice their way through countless enemies, commandeer droids and show off their combat prowess on foot and in a variety of vehicles. Clone Troopers fire things up with a heavy weapons armament that includes rocket launchers, thermal detonators and even jet packs in levels built specifically to take run-and-gun gameplay to exciting levels. In addition, the Lucasfilm Animation Singapore games team - in conjunction with The Clone Wars experts at Lucasfilm Animation - is developing an experience on the Nintendo DS™ that takes full advantage of the platform's touch-screen technology. That version will include an expanded storyline that offers players the chance to take part in key events and battles from season one while also featuring intuitive touch-screen controls for movement, attacks and puzzle solving. "The Clone Wars franchise has struck a chord with viewers and gamers around the world with its action-packed storyline and memorable heroes," said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts. "With its Jedi and Clone Trooper gameplay and all-new storyline, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes takes the franchise into a truly exciting and interactive direction." Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes will release this September for the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, Wii, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, Nintendo DS and PC. Seems the DS is getting a special version, but so far no word on whether the Wii will get any special support, but probably just waggle seeing as it's a multiplatform effort.

darksnowman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Motion+ for Wii...? Maybe that makes too much sense. Would be great if they make a quality Wii title from this- Ahsoka rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Looks amazingly standard. I'm assuming this is a tie-in yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I agree with Stoopid, this looks very ordinary. I'd go so far as saying that it plays just like lego starwars. The movement of all of the characters is absolutely shocking and all they have done by showing the footage of the show/movie before hand is show that they can't achieve that style in the game. I was seeing absolutely 0 atmosphere in any of that game footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I pretty much agree with everything that has been posted, so far. At one time, the prospect of a Star Wars game would have made fans salivate in anticipation, or cause them to be erectified in delight. Now, there's too many, with the "classics" few and far between. I fucking hate what the new Trilogy has done for Star Wars. What was once a classic is now a cash cow. It's always been one, to be fair, but the level it's at now is shocking.
