It's easy enough to understand the gist of this mostly silent story, but a lot of the more esoteric references will be lost on casual fans of the franchise. The animated series hasn't ingrained itself into the popular culture quite like the beloved movies, however, which means there's a chance you may not be familiar with the plight of Commander Cody and Wag Too. The theatrical releases of Star Wars have been tapped dry at this point, so The Clone Wars draws its inspiration from television's well. The Clone Wars contains the lighthearted fun the series is known for, but frustration bubbles just below the surface in this uneven sequel. These problems pervade every inch of this epic adventure, overshadowing improvements in other areas. Obtuse puzzles and directionless objectives force you to frequently stop your lightsaber-swinging fun to figure out what the heck you have to do next, and an assortment of control quirks have you fighting the game as often as you're fighting the empire.
But all is not well in this far-away galaxy. This game is absolutely bursting with content, and the variety and scope of battles separates it from its much more restrictive forebearers. Space assaults pit plucky fighter crafts against monstrous battle cruisers on land, a battalion of rocket-wielding clones take on a six-legged tank and the entire affair is tied together with a sweeping story that includes dozens of characters from across the universe. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars encapsulates the far-reaching breadth of war.
