LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars encapsulates the banks off the war. Pit Fighter Space craft attacks against courageous battle cruisers monstrous, on land, a battalion of clones to brandishing rocket on a tank with six legs, and the whole thing is linked with a sweeping history that includes dozens of characters of the universe. This game is absolutely bursting with content and variety and scope of the battles it out of his forebearers more restrictive. But not everything is perfect in this distant galaxy. Stump puzzles and purpose directionless forcing you to stop frequently sword wielding fun to know what the hell to come, and a variety of control oddities you fight against gambling as often as you fight the empire. These issues permeate every inch of this epic adventure overshadowed improvements in other areas.

The Light of the Clone Wars, has the pleasure of the series is known, but the frustration bubbles beneath the surface of this uneven album.

Star Wars theatrical release have been used in dry at this stage, then the Clone Wars is inspired by the TV well. The animation is deep self-love pop culture, just like the movies, however, which means that there is a possibility that you may not know the situation of Commander Cody and Wag too. It 'easy to understand the meaning of this story mostly silent, but refers to a much more esoteric to casual fans of the franchise will be lost. Although this story could go over his head from time to time, your eyes, however, is excited about the spectacular image. At passage marked in the previous games in the series, Lego Star Wars III is a unique style all his own eyes that the realistic environments and characters from the LEGO ship. Foliage, full of miniature planets full of droids are a sight and a variety of landscapes to ensure there is always another piece of this puzzle delicious.

There are 18 missions in 13 different planets in The Clone Wars, and it can take over 20 hours to reach the end credits. About half of the game should be familiar to series veterans. You walk through the oil towns of the desert, and all sorts of strange environments and solve puzzles to reduce the enemies with your crew of merry-righteous. Each character class has its own set of skills - for example, can move elements of the Force Jedi, droids can open locked doors, and the clones can face up ledges - and you must switch between them on the fly to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Coups environment for the buds are just as addictive as ever and there is a good mix of puzzle solving and fighting to ensure that you are not bored. This is a fun trip but a bit predictable, but a series of small problems constantly interfere with your enjoyment.

The most pressing problem is the lack of clear objectives. Clone Wars has done a poor job of pointing in the right direction, and poor visual feedback that prevent your chances of success. For example, a door may flash red when shooting with his pistol, which means that the door is destructible, but we must find a way to blow it up. You may have to keep shooting with your current character or changing another person with a different power, and chances are someone in your party can not destroy. Basic explanations of how their actions affect the environment are absent in the Clone Wars, and this leads to silly waste of time as you explore all options and hope to reach a solution. The fundamental problems are not stopping there. Using the Force to move objects will give you new appreciation for the struggles of Luke on Dagobah. Telepathy is incredibly careless maneuvers articles, however, the game requires very accurate time.

Clone Wars does not meet the narrow corridors of the previous games in the series. There are big battles as well, and offer very different experiences. In a nod to the real-time strategy games, in some tasks, you need to build their base to overthrow the invading troops. A dozen small fields dot the landscape, and you can control every area of ​​clearing away your enemies. Once you have taken, you can build cannons, barracks, food and other tactical tools to help make your army strong enough to declare victory. It is a concept that does not really clean, take advantage of its promise. First of all, the levels are so large that it takes forever to jet from place to place. It accelerates the movement of vehicles, but this does not help things. You spend more time schlepping from place to place, such as planning attacks, leading to a dull monotone. Secondly, the arbitrary restrictions limited battery power of the camera.

The last part of the experience of the battles of the Clone Wars space. These are some of the most exciting game sequences. Flood lasers on the screen, screaming enemy ships everywhere, and explosions dot the sky black with red flames. The score rises and add sound effects pompous chaos, creating a volatile environment that captures the film career galaxies. But like every other aspect of this game disappointing, the potential is limited by a number of festering problems. The controls are the main culprit here. The movement is uneven and not very intuitive, so they are often turning in the wrong direction or do a barrel when I just wanted to cruise around as Jedi stallion they are. And while the vast expanse of space is distributed around it, is constrained to move in a 2D plane (which can not fly higher or lower).

Cooperative play to each student a part of this adventure to the next level. The pace and control issues are not as damaging to a friend by your side, and two brains can include puzzles faster than a blunt. If you're feeling feisty, you can challenge your friends in head-to-head battles in RTS mode, and offers light entertainment for a while. Unfortunately, there is no online option, so another good idea is tempered by the performance section. And that's the theme that carries through all aspects of The Clone Wars. This game is a great leap forward in several key areas, including graphics and variety of gameplay, but these positive actions are constrained by outdated design choices and a lack of refinement. The Clone Wars proves that you need more than ambition to shine.
