Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels allows players on the Wii to step right into the world of the all-new Star Wars: Clone Wars animated feature film and television series, ready for action with a lightsaber at their side. Set in context between Star Wars movies, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, it unveils a whole new and interactive chapter in the Star Wars saga.

Designed from the ground up as a counterpart to Star Wars: Clone Wars both visually and narratively, Lightsaber Duels follows the plot line of the animated feature and series closely. Here players will encounter familiar faces representing both sides of the Force, as well as many new ones, as they take on missions on behalf of the Jedi Council, or in spite of it, during the troubling times of the Clone Wars. The highlight of these missions will be the memorable lightsaber duels and the Jedi and Sith players will battle against in them. These duels are designed to mirror as closely as possible the encounters faced in the animated adventures, to the point that they are even introduced by cinematic segments pulled right from the series and feature film. In addition, utilizing writing talent from both of these related projects, as well as a majority of the voice talent as well in a truly collaborative manner, players can expect to see things in the game that eventually make it to the TV show and vice versa. Gameplay
One of the most anticipated uses of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controller configuration in the history of the Wii gaming system, gameplay in Lightsaber Duels is all about introducing players into the civilized but deadly world of hand to hand Jedi combat techniques. That means no blasters here. As the game's subtitle suggests, whether playing as a servant of the will of the Jedi Council or the Dark Side of the Force, players will wield a lightsaber in one hand and the power of the force in the other. This is where the Wii Remote and Nunchuck come in. Far from requiring players to build up their skills and knowledge of the Force, the goal of the control scheme of Lightsaber Duels is actually designed to make even beginning gamers a force to be reckoned from the first duel they face. The Wii Remote controls your lightsaber through a series of tiered attacks. Left and right motions of the remote equate to light damage, up and down slashes represent medium damage and stabbing motions do maximum damage. The remote's trigger provides a blocking mechanism, while the Nunchuck controls your Force powers. In addition, each character possesses unique combo abilities, but keeping with the simplicity of the control scheme all players need to do is memorize these simple combos to take advantage of their power. Key Game Features: - Fight the most memorable duels from The Clone Wars feature film and TV series.
- Wield your Wii Remote like a lightsaber and experience first-hand the unique weapon of the Jedi Knights with intuitive controls, so no matter what your gaming experience you can become a lightsaber master.
- Play as your favorite Clone Wars hero or villain - from familiar characters like Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous to new faces like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress - each with a unique fighting style and set of skills.
- Exploit your interactive surroundings to defeat your opponent: slice down pillars and Force throw them against your foe.
- 2-player multiplayer support in Battle Modes
- 60 frame per second performance ensure smooth gameplay.
- Duel your way through significant Clone Wars locations, such as Tatooine and Teth.
Playable Characters

 Disappointment January 4, 2009
RW (Knoxville, TN)
I was so disappointed in this game. It was the big 'WOW' gift for my 8year old who loves Star Wars. We bought this and the lightsabers. He played this game for about 5mins and said he was done. It wasn't very much fun for him, not to mention I was not fond of the slinging lightsabers. He also said the lightsabers are too heavy to play with so they are going back. At least i'll get some of my $$ back...
I read the reviews and noted that they weren't very good but was hoping for more since he loves Star Wars so much.
My advice: if you get the chance to rent it or borrow it, try that before wasting your $$$
 If you like the animated series you will like this January 1, 2009
A. J Velarde (Miami, FL USA)
I've been a Star Wars fan for almost all of my life, and I must say this is one of the best "versus" Star Wars game out there, besides it's a good game for the whole family, and if you like the new animated series you will enjoy this game.
The graphics are great and some of the history is direct from the TV series. The dialogue is witty and funny, since it was made with almost the entire cast of the animated series. The cutscenes are either from the movie or the TV series.
The playability is very simple, but it really takes a while to master it.
My only dissapointment is the lack of such great characters like Yoda.
This game is more enjoyable if you play it with friends.
 Really Fun! December 31, 2008
This game is great for Star Wars fans! It allows you to take the place of a variety of characters from the Clone Wars series and movie and battle with other characters. I really love this game!
Very fun...for both kids & parents December 30, 2008
Kyle R. Cubbage (Seattle, WA United States)
My son and I have spent everyday dueling against one another since he got it for Christmas. It is a very entertaining game. Offers tutorials, so you can learn how to master the different abilities. The game play follows the movie & series really closely...very exciting for my son who loves the series.
Recommended.
Fun for adults too December 29, 2008
Charles C. (New York, NY)
I did not purchase this product from Amazon, but I feel inclined to put my two cents on this game. This is a fun game for everyone. It is definitely not a real light saber duel where you can wield and swing. Being a Wii game, you are limited to the sensors between your controller and the sensor on your TV. Some of the reviews mentioned that you do not actually have the actual motion of swinging a lightsaber. I would have to disagree with that. I tried an upper swing and a jab; I tried left and right swings and all of them seem real to me. I even used combo swings and the characters respond to my actions. If you want to be a real Jedi Knight, you will need to actually wield a real sword. This game will give you none of that.
I haven't played the whole game, but after several duels in the story mode, the action of a duel in this game becomes repetitive. To prevent any injury to your wrist and shoulder, I suggest limit the game play to an hour.
