Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by TT Games and published by LucasArts and Nintendo for the Nintendo DS, released in 2011.

This installment of Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars puts players in the roles of heroes from the animated series, covering story arcs from the show. You'll guide characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano through various missions. Gameplay involves navigating environments, often with a partner character. You can switch between available characters on the fly to utilize their distinct skills, such as a Jedi's Force abilities for moving objects or a Clone Trooper's blaster for combat. Many sections require you to build Lego structures to progress, creating bridges or activating mechanisms.

Combat is a mix of melee with lightsabers and ranged blaster fire. Players can also pilot a variety of vehicles, from speeders to starships, in specific sequences or during missions. Boss battles against Separatist leaders are a common challenge, requiring players to observe patterns and use the right character or tactic to succeed. The game often breaks down into smaller, self-contained levels that focus on specific story moments or objectives within the larger Clone Wars narrative.

The Nintendo DS version of Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars takes advantage of the dual screens for gameplay elements and menus. The top screen often displays the action, while the bottom touch screen can be used for managing troops, activating special abilities, or interacting with the game world in unique ways.
