Product Description
Now everyone can experience the fun and excitement of a Lightsaber fight.

Amazon.co.uk Review
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.

2 out of 5 stars Missed opportunity - another dud Star Wars game   January 5, 2009
Steven Brown
I picked this up because ever since the Wii has come out, I thought it would be perfect for lightsabre battling.

Unfortunately, this game becomes the latest in a long line of disappointing Star Wars titles (only decent star wars game I've played is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC))

I hoped it would be realistic (well, as realistic as fighting with lightsabres can be!), but instead I ended up powering through the levels just by waving the remote as fast as I could. There is very little finesse or skill to the game, which is the most disappointing thing.

Also disappointing are the graphics and voice acting, it's all so dreary.

In summary - don't bother, it's just not anything very interesting.



3 out of 5 stars Near Miss   December 30, 2008
Andrew Cook
This game just isn't quite right. The on screen characters don't reproduce what you do with the controller using their lightsabers - like eg the batter in WII Sports Baseball does with his bat. The character movements are definitely interpreted.

The game doesn't take as much advantage of the WII controller as it should have done. This could have been made using the Playstation 2 controller just as effectively.

That said - once past that disappointment, the game is fun, if short and easy. I suspect most of the value will come in 2 player duels.



2 out of 5 stars Yet more Wii shovelware   December 18, 2008

4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Bought this for my son as he is a big Star Wars fan...... Well, what can I say, cannot believe I foolishly paid 30 for this shovelware. Limited playablility, poor controls, very, very annoying speech which is just repetitive and mediocre graphics (even for Wii standards). My son has played it a few times but when I asked him why he hasn't played it recently he said it was repetitive. We did have a quick duel on it last night which prompted me to write a quick review to save other parents hard earned cash being wasted on this shovelware. Really sorry but I cannot see how other reviewers have given it five stars, they must be easily pleased. If you are looking for a game for your kids this Christmas then look elsewhere, if you really do want to get this game then pay no more than a tenner.

I am perplexed, having read the most idiotic negative comments made by one individual about this game. I feel that it would be wrong not to give a decent appraisal of a superb game.
There are no issues at all with game control, this game is very responsive to positive movements of the Wii controller. Blocking movements against opponents attacks work effortlessly. Stringing combination attacks against opponents works seamlessly too.
Beat a character and one will be unlocked for you to use later nice. I particularly like the opponents taunts against you, these spur you on to think about what you are doing in a duel. The opponents AI is very good, so if you think that you can bash a few buttons and then brag to your mates that the game is easy think again! I recommend this game it is great fun. Control issues indeed! Now the person that said that is speaking TOSH!
