Star Wars: The Clone Wars (video game)

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a video game for the GameCube, Xbox and PlayStation 2. It takes place near the end of and shortly after Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, beginning with the Battle of Geonosis.

In the game, players switch between the characters of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu. The Clone Wars mostly consists of vehicular combat, although there are a few on-foot segments with Skywalker and Windu.

There are 16 missions, grouped into six planets. Each mission consists of two to three objectives along with two to three bonus objectives. The bonuses are used to unlock features such as a 3D gallery of vehicles from the game, concept art, and an interview with the development team.

Multiplayer
The multiplayer element of the game has four different game types: Conquest, Control Zone, Jedi Academy and Duel. Each game type is divided among several locations such as Geonosis or Thule.

Conquest divides up to four players on to two teams: the CIS and the Republic. Each team attempts to control as many outposts as possible until they have enough strength to destroy the opposing team's home base. Each outpost is capable of constructing four turrets and a GATs or TX-130S (depending on the team).

In Control Zone, you must fight to be the only one in a certain zone for a certain amount of time until a certain amount of points. You get one point per second in the Control Zone and one for killing a player.

In Duel, two to four players battle each other until a certain number of points is reached.

The Clone Wars game is all about survival. One to fourplayers try to survive as many waves of enemies as possible. Each wave, the amount of enemies and their type changes. Every third round is either a duel or a bonus round. There are only two locations for this game type and they are both different. In the Geonosis version you try to survive waves of battle droids, super battle droids, dwarf spider droids and Geonosian warriors while playing as a Jedi Knight or another character. The other version has you locked in an AT-XT or a Republic Fighter Tank fighting waves of NR-N99 Persuader-class Droid Enforcers, STAPs, Ground Armored Tanks, HAGs, Hailfire Droids, Homing Spider Droids, and Armored Assault Tanks.

Behind the scenes
Many were disappointed that Pandemic Studios, the game's developer, did not implement the ability to leave your vehicle at any time while on the battlefield. They did however bring this quality into their future title, Star Wars Battlefront, in which you may enter or exit any vehicle on the battlefield at any time you wish.
