LEGO Star Wars III - The Clone Wars

After 100%ing this game, despite its few flaws, I am glad to say that this is a certified clone wars classic!!!!

This game is a absolute masterpiece from the amazing breath taking cinematics before, during and end of each mission. The story line coming from the Clone Wars TV show really bring me back as a kid when it was still on Netflix. Visually in the year 2026 still amazing but in some parts of missions shows it's age from being made from 2011 but better then other games from this year. Still enjoyable to replay unlike most games trying to 100%. If they added achievements to this amazing game it'll be the last thing to make it amazing on steam. Occasionally crashing if you don't vsync to 60fps. It has almost everything you can want in a Lego game, Definity a top five Lego games in my books.

LEGO® Bob™ Official Review: Surprisingly, I never played this game when it came out. As a massive Star Wars fan, I didn't actively watch The Clone Wars when it was on TV and only watched it years later when it was on streaming services. I was impressed at how closely the levels were to the episodes they were based on and the detail in them as well. The characters were accurate to the show and was carried by the fact that they didn't add voice lines yet. This game came out in the good era of LEGO games, but started to lean towards the open world aspect that I have come to dislike. The ground assault missions were awful. Half of the story missions were in this RTS style that does not work for a LEGO game. There is absolutely no point to building up your zones other than to collect minikits or to finish the mission. More than half of the endgame was based around this and I was dreading it once I finished the levels. My opinion stays the same for the space missions, which were just rinse and repeat with different things to shoot. The bounty hunter missions were a nice addition that we saw in TCS and they were able to be completed pretty quickly. I enjoyed that some of the original characters from the main series were included as the minikit completion rather than a random build based on the level. It gave more character choices to choose from, even though I ended up using Cad Bane for almost every single free play level. Overall, I was not too impressed with this one, even though I am a massive fan of The Clone Wars. The game felt boring to complete (besides the traditional level styles) and I dreaded the 100% solely for the ground assault missions. 6.5/10
