I did a lot of walking around large environments and breaking of objects to collect items, which made me hope that the next scene would have more enemy robots to turn into scrap metal! The quick time events break up the monotony pretty well, and if more of the game were based on these, then this would feel more like a proper Jedi game. Being able to use a force power and having the ability to team up on a single enemy with your computer controlled partner are a nice features as well.īut even with this, the pacing of the game is generally slower than I expect a Star Wars game to be. The combat mechanic is done pretty well and helps to keep the fighting engaging and fun. Combat is more advanced as each foe that is engaged has 3 zones to attack, high, middle and low, which makes combat interesting as tapping a different zone will not only bypass the enemy's defense but also opens up different combinations of attacks that can be stringed together. Swinging the lightsaber to break objects is as simple as tapping on the object several times until it breaks.
To move your tag team duo around the environment, simply hold or drag the stylus to where you want them to walk. The Jedi are constantly dispatched to investigate issues that are Sith related, which usually mean trouble for them and the galactic peace they are trying to protect.Īfter choosing 2 of the 6 available Jedi to take on your mission, one notices that the Nintendo DS version is almost fully stylus based, controlling everything from basic movement to combat, quick time events and mini-games. So the Jedi (the good guys) are still in command of the massive clone army and the Sith (the bad guys) are slowly expanding their reach and influence across the galaxy, converting or conquering all in their way in order to control the galaxy. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Alliance" is set during the same time period as the computer graphically (CG) animated show that is currently showing on Cartoon Network. Sure, it's available for other consoles as well (check out our Kent Lee's excellent Nintendo Wii review of "Jedi Alliance"!) but I'm down to get my mobile Jedi on! So, since I have a Nintendo DS, (and I'm not playing the *absolutely awesome* "The World Ends with You" from Square-Enix right now,) I was tasked to check out LucasArts' latest "Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Alliance" on the Nintendo DS handheld console.
No, I'm not being paid to only review Star Wars games! I just happen to have all the cool toys available to play the games with.
