It’s the game fans have been demanding ever since the Wii was first announced: The world’s first fully-fledged lightsaber game. Based on the new computer generated
Clone Wars movie,
Clone Wars - Lightsaber Duels allows you to control ten of the most powerful lightsaber-wielding
Star Wars characters--from Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu to the evil Count Dooku and General Grievous.
He’s not a Jedi, but General Grevious’ four lightsabers make him a formidable foe |
The game uses the same stylised look as the Clone Wars movie for its graphics |
There’s no such thing as a simple dodge for Jedi |
Using the Force is essential in any fight |
The game is all about one-on-one battles, as you wield the Wii remote like a real lightsaber while using the Nunchuck to move your character around. Whichever direction you swing the remote, your moves are replicated on screen, but you can also block, parry, and dodge. The action is highly accessible.
Naturally you can use the Force too--from lifting up items and throwing them at your foe to using Force lighting if you’re a bad guy. This is definitely the game Star Wars fans are looking for.
Key Features - Rogues gallery: Play as ten different Jedi, from the infamous Anakin Skwywalker to new characters such as the apprentice Ahsoka Tano and the evil Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.
- Classic battles: Set between Episodes II and III, while Anakin is still a good guy, the game features famous fights from both the new CGI movie and the live action films.
- Art attack: The stunning graphics look just like the Clone Wars film, with a stylised look for all the characters and the same voiceover actors providing the voices.
- Force yourself: Use super powered Force attacks to get the upper hand, or levitate and use the objects around you to put your opponent off guard.
- Collateral damage: It’s not just your enemies you can damage, as platforms break apart while you fight, giant stone columns are sliced in half, and spaceships crash around you.
