Clone Wars games hitting shelves Nov. 11 11 Oct, 2008 / Comments: 6

By Jason


To those it may concern (like my ten year old cousin), the two games based on this summer's The Clone Wars that LucasArts is putting out will be released on November 11th, also the DVD/Blu-ray street date for the film.

For those who missed it or simply had something better to pay attention to at the time, like the speed at which their front lawn was growing, the two games in question are The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels and The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, the former being a Wii exclusive and the latter being a DS exclusive.

The only possibly notable thing about these releases is that Jedi Alliance is the first game to be developed by LucasArts' Singapore animation studio (the same folks responsible for the Clone Wars movie and TV series), and also the fact that the Wii MotionPlus was announced only after Lightsaber Duels could take advantage of it may have pissed off LEC or something.

Anyway. I just figured you might need something to read while your AVS pre-order was being processed.

    Too bad, I thought the movie should be even better.

    Did it at least have higher production values than the series?

    In that they got some of the movie actors to voice the roles for the movie (Sam L Jackson, Christopher Lee), yes. But the animation etc is the same for both, as far as I can tell.

    They still make PS2 Games?

    I won't be playing it. Very few movie-to-game's are any good. And since this movie is terrible, I don't have high expectations for the game.

    Haven't seen the Clone Wars movie yet, but the first TV episodes were really fun, so I'll think about getting the Blu-ray.

    The TV show is excellent.

    The plot of the movie was naff though. They should have used the current 'malevolence' story as the movie, and pushed the Hutt baby kidnapping back to the TV show.
