This game has to be one of the best star wars games for the wii ever created. Not only can you be a Jedi and beat up guys with a lightsaber, but you can also become a clone trooper and shoot bad guys with your blaster. This new dimension in star wars gaming really really gives it an edge over other star wars games.
Pros of being a Jedi
-it really uses the wii motion controls making you feel like you really are anikin or obi-wan
-you can tour around the Jedi temple and take part in various training exercises
-you are very powerfull, some enemies you can defeat with one upper cut stroke of your lightsaber
Cons of being a Jedi
-Your arms really start to get sore after a while so you can really only play this game an hour a time
Pros of being a clone
-It is very much like other shooting games except you can play in third person or first person
-It is fun shooting droids on the wii for the first time
Cons of being a clone
-It does not implament the wii controls vey much all you do is point the wii remote and shoot.
The other aspects of the game are great too. The graphics are very crisp and the plot is a good branch off the second star wars movie. All and all this is a superb game and any true star wars fan should buy it

Star Wars the Clone Wars Republic Heroes is a fun game, but there are downsides. The great thing I liked was the story line, it’s smooth and you play different characters in each chapter. There are three main settings, eight Jedi, and the Clones. You play as whatever the Wii had originally decided, meaning that if the chapter is directed towards the Clones’ viewpoint, you play as the clone. It’s a two player game with drop in and out features. I’d recommend this game for older kids or teens. It’s simple enough for ten year olds, but not complex enough for seventeen year olds. The game play is fun, there are multiple combos you can achieve when fighting. Also, after you finish a particle section/ chapter of the game you can go back and play as any Jedi or Clone you’ve previously unlocked.
The problem with this game is the camera angle. As mentioned before, the graphics are the same as in the movie and T.V show, however you don’t have any camera angles. It felt a lot like the on line “Path of the Jedi,” camera angles. The packaging showed multiple angles, but this is false. It can be hard to jump, but you just need to look for a little blueish dot of where you could possibly jump and hope for the best.
Overall this game is fun, but is quick and the graphics aren’t the best. I would still recommend it for Star Wars the Clone Wars fans, the storyline is best!

This review is actually courtesy of my 13 year-old son… He’s had other Star Wars games, and he found the story to be too short in this one. He said it needed more weapons and more people. He did enjoy it until the story ended (a couple of days after starting the game), but after that he lost interest. Save your money; if you really want to play this game, wait and buy it used.

I am generally excited when a game related to Star Wars because they generally do not make too many sci-fantasy games like this anymore. The market is flooded with Shooters
I played the Wii version of this game.
This game had a GREAT idea… but missed the mark by a mile. For one, the controls are slightly jerky, and often times confusing. As a Jedi, you will find yourself squinting your eyes at what youre trying to look at. Another common thing is jumping off the stage.
More Often than not, they give you a hint to where to go, but you cannot really see where youre going, or what your supposed to do. Sometimes what youre supposed to do is clear as day, but the camera angle is so bad, youll find yourself jumping off a cliff.
Death, in this game, is more or less a temporary annoyance since you constantly will jump off a cliff, then be revived.
Being a storm trooper is slightly fun, but it is more (or less) a kiddie version of Gears of War.
Conclusion
This game is obviously geared towards little kids, so I probably should have no reason to have played it, or watch the show for that matter. This is fine for younglings, but misses the mark if you’ve played good games.

I just got this game in October. I read some of the previous reviews and decided to by the game. Here are the pros and cons.
Pros
cool lightsaber moves
easy to use controls
Lots of characters
awesome clone moves
sweet extra weapons
Cons
too short of game
no game over
bad camera angles
About the camera angles, the camera does not adjust to where you are. Once I was in a corner and accidentally went out of the chamber and could not get back in because I needed to press a switch that I couldn’t see because of the camera. I would recommend this game to anyone under 12 because it has no game over so you could keep dieing until you beat the level.
