[absolute55]

Very much alive, the Star Wars license offers an undeniable graphic facelift with the next adaptation of the animated series. We got a first look that left us enthusiastic.

Star Wars or Star Wars, these are films of course. But following the conclusion of the second trilogy of "live" ending with The Revenge of the Sith, you could imagine-even "fear" for some-one would have ever tying the world on our screens. It was not counting with the ingenuity of the "Emperor Palpatine", aka George Lucas, always quick to try to paris to meet new fans never weaned space-combat dueling saber and laser demonstration Force. The big creator of this universe turned to TV to install a new license for a cartoon series. This version of his work and its context and its plot that are the basis for the upcoming action game developed by LucasArts for Khrome Studios and released mid-September 2009 on PS3, Xbox 360 (view version), Wii, PS2, PC and DS, the distribution was entrusted to the care of Activision.

During the thirty or so levels that will be Star Wars The Clone Wars: Heroes of the Republic, you can expect to find three things: the action, more action and still more action. Anakin Skywalker (ie Darth Vader before asmatho-Gothic period) and his companions will face a big bad guy who has a weapon capable of destroying solar systems in their entirety. In addition, the Death Star is just the effect of a rifle shot ... To cope with the hordes of robots in the pay of the separatists, we can choose to run different heroes of the saga: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, Kit Fatso and, therefore, Anakin Skywalker. It is also possible to be 100% the armor of a plastic clone trooper elite by becoming the Commander Cody and Captain Rex. In this case, the Force will be replaced by more traditional arms will simply laser gun that is "Pshiou, pshiou ..." big rocket launcher which is "Pshitt ... BOOM! !. Moreover, these soldiers have portable reactors that promise certain levels where the steering prowess will be at least as important as shooting skill.

The plot connecting the seasons 1 and 2 of the series. Note also that to write their game, the developers took in hand the scripts of the second season in order not to generate an uneven screenplay. However, they have told us that it is not necessary to have seen the first season of the series to appreciate or even understand the ins and outs of the plot of the game As for the graphics rendering, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Heroes of the Republic and directly inspired by the style of the TV series. Like all visions marked, the graphical approach is not necessarily to the liking of everyone but, having seen the result on screen, we were on our part rather confident. Note finally that, in their presentation, the developers have put forward the cooperative aspect of the game it will be perfectly possible to fight against two enemies of the Republic, together we can tackle another player connected in challenges that will win awards and items used to enhance its character or to unlock various bonuses. With a planned release for the autumn of 2009 and a development which is continuing at present, it is clear that we still have many aspects of this game to discover. We can therefore proceed without fear of being wrong that we should talk about you in the weeks and months ahead.
