Review: Lego Star Wars III brings the unique Lego style to the Star Wars universe to the Nintendo 3DS in this mediocre port of the console game.
If you have never played the Lego style of games before, then you might want to start off with a different title and you should definitely avoid the handheld versions. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars brings the unique and generally very entertaining Lego style to the Nintendo 3DS, but it fails to capture the magic that makes these games so much fun.
If you have played the console version of this game, avoid this title at all costs. It is not a direct port, it is a severely cut version of it. The console version is a fun and original game using a style that has been proven. The 3DS version is not.
You play through the Clone Wars as several characters, each of which has their own ability that you must use to complete the section they are assigned to. For example, early on you take control of Yoda as well as light and heavy troopers, and you switch through the three with the touch of a button. As you progress you will need to utilize each character’s abilities to progress. Some areas will require a Jedi, while others will ask you to shoot certain obstacles as a light trooper. The problem is that there is never any real challenge to this. You will come across an obstacle, use the appropriate character to interact with it, then move on.
