Ok, first let me start off by saying if your not a fan of the Clone Wars cartoon you will, more than likely, not like this game. I however, am a fan, so with that, it does a pretty good job with that aspect of the game. Supposely, it takes place between season 1 and 2 of the series. The story is pretty decent, and the ability to play so many different characters is also a plus. It basically like a Mario or Sonic style of game play. Depending on the mission, you either wield a lightsaber and utilize the power of the force or play as a clone trooper an use an assortment of guns and grenades, with the occasional rocket launcher and mini gun. Basically you run around, hacking and slashing, jumping on droids, collecting force points and kills. I love playing as a clone trooper, because it has that type of shooting like on the Slash TV game. The right analog stick controls the direction you shoot. However the biggest frustration has to be when it comes to the jedi jumping nuances on many of the levels. Like jumping from pole to pole only to die over and over and over again, because the target to land on is so small. Especially when trying to jump on a STAP. It is co-op, but I have nobody to play with here, so I won't delve into that area. There are little mini challenges where you can destroy waves of droids after passing certian areas during a time limit, but I really don't see the point of it. Other than trying to beat your buddy during it maybe. When you play as a jedi you can jump on top of the droid and "droid jack" them, which allows you to control them for a short time to say shoot other droids or get pass an objective. You can use the points you collect to purchase combat upgrades, droid jack dances or big bobble type heads. If you like running around with a big Yoda head, this could be a perk. If you have kids, I recommend it for them, since it seems more geared to them. Although the graphics aren't great they do stay true to the cartoon. If you like Clone Wars, then go rent it and have fun. You can probably breeze through it in a day or two. I thought is was fun action-aventure game but maybe not worth the $50 I spent on it. I give it a 1 thumb up, or a 3 out of 5, or a 6 out of 10, depending on the scoring system you like.

I'd give it decimal point for 2.878 out of 5. I agree if you've seen the series, it will help. There are some nice touches with the characters and how they look, but alot of the time, you have to fight the controller to get the character to work in the environment.
As with most games, more could have been done. A rental fo sho.
