Been a big fan of the Lego franchises. With the exception of Harry Potter (sorry, not a fan) I've played all of them across various platforms and they're all great (maybe except Indy2). Batman was probably my fave. Anyway, Lego Star Wars III doesn't disappoint. I'm now playing it on the PS3 and it looks beautiful. The previous games were designed for the previous generation of consoles so were just ported to the PS3. Being designed for this generation, it makes good use of the PS3's capabilities.
All the fun of the previous games is still present. Additional features haven been added. You can now throw your light sabre at things. There are times when you have to move a droid somewhere using the force, as the droid can't get there on its own. On the subject of the force, you have to guide the object(s) yourself. It takes a little more thought. You can also use your light sabre to cut through walls.
One of things I wasn't so keen on in the early Star Wars games, was the vehicle levels. I found them a little tedious and looked on them as a necessary evil. I preferred the character-based, "on foot" levels. Maybe I wasn't alone with that feeling. The only 2 space ship levels I've had, have also involved landing, and getting out and doing things on foot. Kinda like the forest moon of Endor level in Return of the Jedi (but better).
The central hub is the Jedi Command Ship. At the start of the game, you're on board the bridge. As you unlock content, more and more of the ship becomes unlocked for you to explore. You can even fly out of it and across to the enemy ship the Malevolence. I'm only about 5 levels on story mode into it, and I love it already. They've not changed the game for the sake of changing it. They've just expanded it well. If you liked the previous Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman games, you won't be disappointed.

Firstly, I have to say that this is a fine game, all round. The graphics are good, the gameplay is accomplished and the durability also very acceptable. One will notice that the non-Lego visuals are good (eg. the landscapes), that playing the game is smooth and intuitive, and that you will need to play all the levels at least twice (each time offering different abilities and possibilities) to complete the game 100%.
I ordered this game mainly for my younger brother of 10, with whom I have been playing Lego video games for several years. And on that point, one of the best features of this game, and Lego games in general, is the ability to 'drop-in' and 'drop-out' of play at whatever time. Another positive aspect is that of the levels and the increased options to make the game more enjoyable. One can create his own characters and explore different parts of the Clone Wars world and play in modes beyond the main storyline. And the best thing is that players who have already played Lego titles before will know more-or-less what to expect.
Having said all of that, there is the downside of this game perhaps lacking some of the originality of former Lego games. While the story in itself is quite fresh, it is just another Lego game with little new in the way of game mechanics. But that is not a terrible thing. Though I would have to say that this game is not as good as the first two in the Lego Star Wars saga. Another disappointment would have to be the lack of any proper online multiplayer mode.
Ovorall, though, I would reccommend this game as it offers a simple, but enjoyable gaming experience. This game will, of course, be better suited to to those under 13 years of age, but you can always play along your younger friend if you are a teen or an adult and have some fun with it. However, it has to be said that players under 8 or 9 will probably strugle with some of the more complex levels, and therefore will need a helping hand if they are to progress in the game.
The final verdict is to get this game if you know what Lego games are about. If you do not I would still think you should give this one a chance, and though it may not be all you expected, it should provide some entertainment for you and/or your younger relatives or peers.

If you are a fan of the Lego games, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman et-al you'll still find much to enjoy in this new Clone Wars game. Based upon stories from season 1 and 2 of the Clone Wars Cartoon series, this game contains all the main Jedi and Separatist characters you'd expect, along with loads of Clone Toopers, Rex, Cody, Ponds, Echo, Fil and all in perfect Lego form.
As you might expect this new game has a similar formula to the original Star Wars Lego game, with the same concepts of fighting lego characters, solving simple sequence problems, breaking objects and thereby collecting "studs", gold blocks and mini-kit items. Once a level is complete free play is unlocked along with lots more challenges for each level. However the designers of the game have really been working hard to add new features, with the battle field sequences demonstrating a whole new level of complexity and hence fun. The range of tanks, walkers and space fighters that can be called upon once they have been earned is very impressive. There's also plenty of humour dotted throughout the embedded video clips, I rather liked General Grievous taking his cough medicine, and the Musac in the lift is quite amusing (at least the first few times).
My 8year old son has previously played most titles on a Wii, but this time round we've bought it for our PS3, while the game play on the Wii would be equally good, the game does make good use of the PS3 graphics. I'd say it was going to be a definite favourite for quite some time.

This gam is a fantastic evolution of the Lego Star wars games. Although, I miss the type of levels which were present in the first two games. But, nevertheless, brilliant.
