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.

Customer Reviews

Feel the Force
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!

Lightsaber fun
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels (Wii)

The boys both felt this game was quite short.
My 12 year old thought it was a good game and fun at first, but found it boring after a while.
My 10 year old still enjoys playing lightsabers against the game, or an imaginary foe. He will probably enjoy this for sometime to come, because it is Star Wars.

Yet more Wii shovelware
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.
