This has got to be the most disappointed XBOX 360 experience I've had. First of all, as noted by other reviewers, the graphics and gameplay are disappointing. This is really no improvement upon the old Revenge of the Sith game, and in many respects is inferior. I like that you can choose your Jedi from the outset rather than having to unlock them through gameplay, but that really isn't enough to redeem the price paid for the game. And unlike Revenge of the Sith, there is no battle arena where you can choose your Jedi and Sith and go at it.

I can't say anything about the Clones. It seems like a nice twist, getting to play a Clone, but I can't actually do that as I can only make the first two acts of the Ryloth campaign work. Once I finish II and click on III, nothing happens. Nothing. I have tried contacting Lucas Arts but they're apparently in a Galaxy far far away, because they don't answer. I tried the phone support, but they don't list this game. If you go to Yoda's 24-hour help desk, there is no actual 24 hour help desk - nobody there. If you find a way to post a message, nobody gets back to you or acknowledges that you left a message. If you try LucasArts technical support, nobody checks the forum. I've had a message up there for two days now and nothing. In a word, there is no possibility of technical support for this already inferior product. I don't know if anybody else has had this problem, and I'll probably just have to take it back to Best Buy, but it would be nice to know that if you had problems there was actually some sort of technical support offered. LucasArts apparently doesn't care - and therefore, they can kiss my dollars goodbye.

I bought this to play with my 5 year old son. He absolutely loves it. It has all the clone troopers, Jedi, battle droids, blasters, thermal detonators, etc. he desires and he's ecstatic to blast away with them.

As has been mentioned before, the controls are a bit sloppy and imprecise and the camera angles can be frustrating (especially on 2 player when the camera stays with whoever has fallen behind rather than the player who is advancing ahead - this can make jumps and ambushes annoying).

Ultimately this is a game that seems to have been designed for children. Even the hardest difficulty should prove easy enough for most kids, not to mention gamers. If your kid is a Star Wars nut, they'll enjoy this game fully. If you're looking for a Star Wars fix as an adult, probably best just to rent this one.

As a long time Star Wars fan and a fan of the new Clone Wars series, I've been looking for a game similar to SW Battlefront for my kids. While not a game that I myself can play for too long, it's easily a favorite of my sons and they keep it in their regular cycle with their lego, spiderman and ironman games.

The controls were easy for them to adopt, and the penalty for death is similar to lego games: if you're killed, you just re-spawn. The extra perks like helmet/mask purchasing, droid riding and dancing, and special upgrades are enough to keep them coming back.

...And I'll admit, seeing notable troopers like Denal and Ponds in action, along with some really cool looking trooper additions, was enough to keep me watching while they played the first few times. A great family game, even if not up to the caliber of more adult-oriented action games

The game is not fun to play. It might to nice to watch on rare occasions, but the controls are terrible and the entire game is fairly repetitive. Yes, there are different characters, but they're all relatively the same--just Jedis and Troopers. The puzzles are easy--which is good for a kids game--but the physics system and hit detection is horrible.

Stay away from this game unless it's for someone you don't like or it's for a child who doesn't have a good grasp of what a good game is and is very patient when they jump on a platform only to fall through it.

Like most of the reviews above, this is a game best suited for a younger crowd. As a gamer myself, I found this game very lacking when it comes to challanges and length. It's very short, and very easy to pick up.

My 7 year old loves it though. He loves the Star Wars series, especially clone wars since it's a cartoon so this was a perfect gift for him.

My recommendation: do not buy it if you're looking for a good engaging game for yourself; do buy it if you're looking for a fun game to play with your kids.

Sadly the worst video game the Star Wars franchise has put out. I should know because I have bought all of them. It saddens me to think they can't learn from their mistakes.

ALERT! ALERT! This is the WORST Star Wars Game EVER. The game play is.. I can't think of words to describe it. It's the WORST Game that I have ever tried to play. I cussed, screamed, and finally got this piece of junk out of my 360. I can't believe George signed off on this POS. I can't say much for the story cause just trying to move the player around was enough to piss me off. I think I'm done now, DON'T BUY THIS GAME.

This game is BAD. Really bad... it reminded me of the early PS2 'generic' platform titles. The game looks ugly, the sound is bad, and it seems 'broken' - the controls just do not work.

I rented and stopped playing it after about an hour. The controls and game play were simplistic and boring. It felt like I was playing the asteroids game on an old atari. Your character is really tiny on the screen and you either move the control stick to crudely aim or move to slash at enemies. Pretty shocking at how basic this game was for the 360; felt more like a really cheap demo than a full fledged game. I definitely wouldn't buy and certainly won't be renting again.

Like others have said, this is ridiculously bad. Whoever made this should be fined, devs, QA, and management. How this ever made it to market is sad.

Anyways, controls are horrible. Yoda's "help" is constantly annoying and actually hurts you since it stops the action every single time.

First level boss should be easy, however the lack of camera control and ability to focus your force make it extremely tedious and frustrating.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
