LucasArts details The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes

Hopefully this will be better than the last POS Star Wars game released. Force Unleashed sucked!

If ya'll are gonna cover crummy games based off kids tv shows atleast cover games like Damnation that are coming out this month or perhaps Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

Is this just a reskinned version of Force Unleashed, but...you know, for kids?

No thanks.

Except that I have no idea what this invasion is, likely many others do not, and so wouldn't care that much. I'm not saying that the story couldn't be communicated through the game, but they want to boost their figures from people who see Clone Wars, see this, and say they want a game based on the Clone Wars.

Probably a passable romp. I enjoyed FU enough. hehe FU.

Either way, Gamefly Que time.

WM+ confirmed?

Okay, I'll admit Force Unleashed had a good story line.... but the game play still sucked IMHO.

How am I supposed to play a Stars Wars game that doesn't involve Legos?

Thank goodness this will be coming out. Lego Star Wars is getting old, but yet my 5 yr old loves to play it.

They definately need to go back to the drawing board as far as Star Wars games are concerned. The Force Unleashed was just plain fun to play. All that power.....anyway. Something in the way of Jedi Outcast where I can force choke the shit out of someone I'm playing against on Xbox Live, or force grab them and just drop them into oblivion.....yeah, that's the stuff.

Star Wars games are so hit and miss. This one looks like another trip to yawn town.

You Should try jedi academy then.
It's after the episode 6. Luke skywalker being the master of the academy.

Jedi Knight is a great serie. Worth playing, even if it now looks dated.

It sounds a lot like LEGO Star Wars, without the LEGO bricks. Not to say I won't get it, but I suspect that's what it will feel like.

You know, if we can get past the easy Star Wars bashing, this game is a pretty welcome game to the Wii. It has co-op--online and offline. It has easy-in-easy-out multiplayer. It's a shoot 'em up focused on action with a lot of missions. The Wii isn't exactly rich in those games.

Whether it succeeds at this is another matter, but the Force Unleashed was a very good game (although the duel part was weak).

As for the complaints about the clone wars setting, look, the Clone Wars show did well and had very good episodes. My 9-year-old son and his friends love the Clone Wars period. LOVE it. Karen Traviss's Republic Commando novels are set in this time period and are an excellent, successful series. Sure, we older gamers would like to see a different time frame, but the interest in the Clone Wars setting is high right now. To walk away from it and start generating interest in another time period through games and shows probably doesn't seem like a good business decision right now.

Plus, remember that LucasArts stuck with Kyle Katarn for some 5 games. That's just one character. For a while, all we got were games from the Rebel-Empire setting.

We're nearing the end of the Clone Wars, I'm sure. They have greatly filled in that time period with a lot of characters and stories, and I think LucasArts does have something of a long view.

YES! A Trilogy of games based on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion would be awesome! Imagine starting as Jedi hero Jacen Solo, only to end as SITH LORD!

P.S. Spoiler up thar.

We're never going to get a decent game based on the original Trilogy. Never, ever, ever.

Never.

Sega's Arcade masterpiece is as close as we're going to get.

I don't think Lucasarts knows how to do it. They are so dumb-founded by Lucas' re-envisioning of Star Wars as Sesame Place in Space that the original grittiness and joy is dead.

Does anyone even remember Luke Skywalker? Han Solo? GODDAMN CHEWBACCA?

But we had to have the robot equivalent of Bert and Earny in space from day one.

Game might be okay. I will try the demo if they release one. If not then I don't know when I will get around to trying it.

What I really want to know is why haven't they made a sequel to Republic Commando yet?

Except you could choose the dark side or light side as Jacen. I always enjoyed that about KOTOR. I'd play through them as a holier-than-thou good guy and it would be tough. And then I'd play as a badass and it would be ridiculously easy. Force lightning FTW!

I'll pick this up once the price drops, by about 30-40 dollars.

The easiest would probably be to make more Rogue Squadron games about the Rogue Squadron book series. The Krytos Trap, the Bacta War, Isard's Revenge, etc.

Jedi Academy, while a great book, was somewhat lacking on the action front.

who knows? maybe this will be just like Jedi Power Battles for ps1...it was a lot of fun.

Jacen didnt become a Sith Lord until the second galactic civil war, he was still light sided at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

that said, I think a yuuzhan vong game would be sweet, if not more of the same TFU or JK style action, personally my dream Star Wars game would be either a Clone Trooper (Commander, ARC Trooper, whatever fits) or Mandalorian based Mercenaries clone, only ya know, good
