After viewing a video or two of the game online for the Wii, I did not expect too much from this Clone Wars game. And I was so right to be skeptical. LucasArts continues to their cash-in on the kid friendly TV series with Republic Heroes.
Mind you, this is just a demo (and an E3 one at that), but I could tell just by looking at the menu screen that there was little work put into this Wii game. I glanced over to look at the 360 version and it looked vibrant and polished...what happened here LucasArts? Now, to the actual game itself.
Immediately, I noticed a bland palette of colors as my Clone Trooper blasted through an area filled with Separatist droids. You use the Wii Remote to aim your rifle at the respective targets, but the aiming was so slow and wonky I just ended up spraying bullets all over the place. Either this demo was poorly done, the Wii Remote was on crack, or this is going to end being one terrible licensed game. Unforunately, I wasn't able to sample any Jedi levels, but maybe it was good that I didn't.
Expect to see this game on store shelves for the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2. PSP, Nintendo DS, and the PC on October 6th, 2009. And bargain bins soon after.
