A série Clone Wars do Cartoon Network é legal, tem um foco infantil e este jogo por se basear nesta série, segue com o mesmo foco. Isso não é ruim, Star Wars todo era para ser apenas para crianças, porém esse desenho se apresenta melhor a este público do que os filmes e no quesito jogo também, The Force Unleashed por exemplo já não tem muito este foco.

Falando do jogo especificamente ele se apresenta como um jogo plataforma (pular, pular, enfrentar inimigos...) bem aos moldes dos jogos do Lego em questão do roteiro, forma de conversa nos diálogos e principalmente o posicionamento da câmera que se movimenta sozinha. Esta câmera maldita é minha principal reclamação, nunca joguei os jogos Lego da vida para saber se lá funciona bem, mas neste Star Wars é de tirar do sério, a câmera se posiona em locais que não da para saber o ângulo que precisamos fazer o pulo, se o objeto está longe ou perto, caímos para a morte diversas vezes simplesmente por causa dessa câmera mau feita, fica menos pior que o jogo não tem contagem de vida e nos teletransporta para próximo de onde caímos, mas mesmo assim isso frusta muito.

O jogo era para ter uma jogabilidade boa, porque a mecânica é bem simples, no caso dos jedis ataque com sabre de luz, se defender e empurrar usando a força, pulo e pulo duplo que serve para subir em droids e tomar o controle deles. Já com os clones podemos atirar, dar uma coronhada, jogar granada, pulo com esquiva e pulo normal que em alguns casos aciona um jetpak.

A dublagem segue a mesma do desenho animado, porém tudo em inglês, irônico que um jogo feito para crianças eles não traduziram para nenhuma outra língua além do inglês. O jogo também é curto, sendo cortado em vários pedaços de aproximadamente 10 minutos que seriam como fases, jogar este parece que esta assistindo a uma temporada da série animada.

Uma informação extra é que este jogo foi feito pela australiana Krome Studios, esta que em 2010 (1 ano depois deste jogo) teve problemas financeiros e teve de fechar 1 de seus 2 escritórios. Não da para afirmar com certeza, mas parece ter sido reflexo de vendas baixas deste jogo.

No final das contas o que pesa mais é que este jogo foi feito para crianças e não para adultos chatos e críticos como eu, meu lado criança se divertiu muito e por isso penso que este jogo deve ser recomendado.

This is a decent game. Everyone who is knocking it is too old. It's clearly designed for youth who are fans of the cartoon. My young daughter really enjoys playing co-op together. It's basically like playing through a story arc of the Clone Wars cartoon with most major characters at least making a cameo appearance. You play as a variety of characters throughout the game, both clones and jedi vs. the shows primary villians - especially lots and lots and lots and lots of droid soldiers. That's pretty much like the show though, so no surprise there. You don't go around killing people like in The Force Unleashed, only droids.

Update: Beat the game on normal difficulty co-op with my younger daughter. Total time was about 11 hours, but we got less than half of the achievements, in game unlocks, etc. Overall, it's not that bad of a game.
If you are an adult fan of the Clone Wars cartoon, I recommend setting the difficulty to Jedi from the start to increase the challenge somewhat. Being designed for youths, you immediately continue with an unlimited number of lives from the exact spot you died while playing (only lose some points for buying unlocks), so there isn't much to worry about like getting stuck later in the game.

Additionally, we played co-op with X360 controllers, it's likely more comfortable playing this type of game that way than on a keyboard.

I wouldn't say that this game was a complete piece of crap and it was obviously designed with controllers in mind not keyboards, but lets just say younger children will get more out of this than anyone above the age of 13.

Awful.

Despite being a fan of the Star Wars franchise, I never got around to watching The Clone Wars. I certainly appreciate its art style, though, and this game is faithful to it. That's the only good thing about the game, and even then it's rather subjective – some people might not enjoy its looks.

The story is the same for every piece of Star Wars material, which is to say, disposable at best.

As for characters... Anakin Skywalker's annoying padawan calling him "Skyguy" every five minutes during the dreadful cutscenes would be enough to put me off. But I persevered, as part of my quest to beat all of my Games For Windows Live titles before that system is shut down (possibly rendering them unplayable forever).

Speaking of cutscenes, they are often glitched and abruptly interrupted for no reason.

The gameplay is very, very dull. The combat is boring, especially when you're playing the role of Republic soldiers (in other words, the shooting sections). And even in the hardest difficulty setting, if you "die", you'll just respawn in the same area, without any limits. Perhaps most baffling, though, is the fact that you will face the same boss THREE times. He always uses the same attacks, and you'll always use the same method to beat him.

There are occasional "puzzles" that were clearly designed with four-year old children in mind. On top of that, Master Yoda will always show up to tell you what to do next or how to play. Like a constant tutorial throughout the game.

It also has some of the worst platforming sections I have ever gone through... and it has a lot of them. The controls are very imprecise, even when playing with a gamepad. Levels are poorly designed, and the fixed camera angles only makes matters worse. This means you'll be falling to your "death" more often than not when jumping around... but hey, at least there's that immediate respawn, right?

I bought this to play in multiplayer with my 5 year old....she loves it..for kids who love watching the clone wars cartoon, it has all the main characters. Most importantly they can play as Ahsoka!
Controls are easy for her to use and she loves the style of the game. Its just like the cartoon. Very easy for her to navigate the screen and gameplay is simple.
If your looking for something more complex then dont buy this. If your looking for a game for a child between 5-7 then this is ideal.

It came with the Star Wars collection, so I tried it out. I like the animation, but the game play could be better. It is awkward to play with a keyboard so I recommend playing with a controller or just buy it on Xbox 360. It is longer than most Star Wars games I've played, but it gets repetitive. Shoot (clone), slash (Jedi), and repeat. I would buy it if you weren't looking for a challenge or perhaps for your kid. I wouldn't pay full price for it though. Wait for a sale or just try it out if you buy the Star Wars collection like I did.

Crappy controls. Good story line. Fun characters. Cartoony graphics. 6/10

*Yes reddit, I am a time traveler*

If you are a fan of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" TV show, you are going to love this...

I cleared this game in 12 h. This game was so-so for me.
There are two difficulties, Padawan & Master. I played padawan level, but sometimes it was difficult.
If you like clone wars TV stories, and if you want to battle like that movies, this game is perhaps good for you.(especially for children)
I am not children but I enjoyed it because I love star wars. You can play some of jedies and troopers. And battle syles were interesting. You can destroy many droids. But Sith vs jedi are only two times.

And I recommend that you play this on game hardwere. It seems that this game has many troubles when you play on pc.
I have problems(it was slow motions on Win 7 laptop). And it didn't work on Win 8, surface pro 2.
I think it is better for you to buy xbox or some other game soft. If you have very strong pc specs, perhaps you don't have to worry. But if not, I think xbox, DS or other consoles are better than pc.

Anyway, I like battle syles in this game. If you have some intrests, I recommend you to buy it when it's sale.

Well this is just like Pacman/Super Maria in a Starwars suit. It is just 3rd person view and the camera doesnt follow at all. So if you want to walk forward you have te press left and jump over deep cliffs for no reason at. So this is a game only for the youngest of players among us. They will enjoy it that is for sure.

It is about bunny hopping and constantly breaks in the game where the tutorial just annoys the crap out of you. The music is from the Starwars series Clone Wars. The game looks like it was directly taken from the famous and most beautifully made animation series of Starwars the Clone Wars. So that is good. Even the sounds are very impressive. Straight from the series and moveis.

So if you don't mind jumping from spot to spot in this game and have the time or energy to "learn" the illogical controls then go for it. If not if you like logical first person controls or at least a camera just automatically follow you in 3rd person view just wait and save some precious money for the Battlefront 3 that will be coming soon to the gaming world.

Hey if ya love StarWars you find lots of fun in this beat'n up game like this just play with a fread the 2 player one keybored isnt that bad and is easyly plasyable

The show is decent. This game however, far from that. The platforming is done horribly, combat is somehow both mindless and unfun, and almost every other word that came from this game gave my backhand an itch, one that could only be scratched if it was applied on the face of the speaker.

This game only has one redeeming factor, its assets. Even then, it seems a bit outdated. Hopefully someone will make use of them and bring them to Gmod or SFM.

The art and graphics are amazing, looks really crisp and very exciting at first glance. Really keeps in the spirit of the TV show.

Then theres the gameplay control...if anything can ruin a game, its the horrid control abilities and clumsy response. To be fair, I didnt try my gamepad controller, but most game systems still make an effort to produce good keyboard/mouses combination controls. This was not the case here. Literally no mouse contol options, the bindings are clumsy and frustrating to work with.

Of course, Windows LIVE is alone would be a reason to give this game a negative review.

I paid $10.....I should have been PAID $10 to try this piece of crap.

Quite possibly the most painful platformer I have ever played. Republic Heroes holds true to the cartoon series and offers a decent story with all the major characters, but the controls are horrendous--and I mean that in the absolute worst way possible. The camera angles, aiming, direction controls all seem to work against where you want to actually go. On the bright side, you get to play a lot of different characters, but unfortunately they don't offer any unique moves; it's all the same gameplay, just a different face. Unfortunately, all the negatives completely overpower any positives this game has to offer. Stay away....stay very far away.

Don't even think of playing this game on a keyboard!
This will be one of the most frustrating things in your life.
You'll die 10-20 times per level - 1-2 because of enemies' fire, and the rest of the times - because the game just changed the perspective to rapidly that you fell in the chasm or something.
And when you play as clone trooper, you just cannot hit anything bacause of crappy aim.
The game is designed for controllers and developers didn't bother themselves to optimize it for more conventional input devices on PC.

Apart from that the game just isn't as fun as The Clone Wars series. It uses the same characters. but provides minimum backstory (in a Star Wars game!) and no character development.

Also, it uses GFWL. This isn't an issue for me, but some people don't like it. And it is said that GFWL will be taken down on July 2014, that means no achievements any more.

This game is so bad that I can't bealieve it was even included with the star wars collection. Thank god I only payed 33.99 for 14 games. The only way this game could be good would be if you're seven and don't understand when a game is ♥♥♥♥ING bad.

The Game is the worst Star Wars Game ever there is too many bug

THIS GAME IS BLOODY AWFUL. DO NOT BUY IT.
STUPIDEST STAR WARS GAME AND IT IS SO GOD DAMN BUGGY.

Terribly poor gameplay mechanics, animation, and information system. wouldnotbang/10

Game crashes at start up and despite several solutions proposed in the forums, I've been unable to get it to work. The original support page for the game is no longer active, and there doesn't appear to be anywhere to go for actual tech support. For a $20 game, a much higher level of support is expected. Not recommended.
