Lego star wars iii the clone wars 3ds

Обновлено: 07.01.2025

Все двадцать лет своей истории компания Traveller’s Tales занималась почти исключительно обслуживанием чужих брендов. Причем в большинстве случаев делала это без особого энтузиазма: именно в этих стенах появились на свет унылый Sonic 3D для SEGA Genesis, помойный Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex, откровенно проходная Bionicle Heroes и куча других пресных проектов по кино- и мультлицензиям, дисками с которыми в редакции «Игромании» уже набит солидный шкаф (если они вам вдруг нужны — напишите, нам, пожалуйста, хотя мы уже особенно и не надеемся).

Пожалуй, единственная лицензия, в работе с которой британская студия проявила подлинный талант и фантазию, — это LEGO. Особенно удачным получился интерактивный гибрид датского конструктора и вселенной «Звездных войн» — настолько удачным, что к 2011 году Traveller’s Tales в три приема окучили обе канонические трилогии, одарили игроков всеми мыслимыми бонусами, после чего кинофильмы во вселенной Джорджа Лукаса ожидаемым образом кончились.

Помимо прочего, в программе есть бои верхом на гигантских животных.

Дальше выбор оставался небогатый. На экранах «Звездные войны» сегодня существуют только в виде анимационного сериала (и полнометражного мультфильма) «Клонические войны». Конечно, нравятся они далеко не всем, но в формат компьютерной игры вписываются идеально. К тому же, на нашей памяти, достойно события клонических войн были освещены разве что в Republic Commando, да и там играть приходилось за массовку.

Словом, все, что оставалось разработчикам, — придать героям сериала характерной пластмассовой угловатости. Как и ожидалось, операция прошла успешно. The Clone Wars — отличная, почти эталонная аркада, где все — ну, или почти все — привычно и знакомо любому, кто хоть раз играл в LEGO-игры. Джедаи рубят боевых дроидов, крушат на мелкие части пластмассовые декорации, сообща решают головоломки, потешно кривляются и причиняют злодеям далекой-далекой галактики добро и справедливость. Принципиальные отличия от предыдущих частей — набор героев, события, уровни и… неожиданно куда более разнообразный геймплей.

Дерзкий налет на территорию противника в одиночку — лучший способ начать атаку. Союзники для подобных вещей слишком глупы.

Если раньше Traveller’s Tales не особенно стремились разбавлять чисто аркадные этапы с прыжками и драками на световых мечах чем-то иным, делая это исключительно в тех случаях, когда того требовал оригинальный сюжет, то в LEGO Star Wars III они будто с цепи сорвались.

Появились многослойные уровни. Это когда вы сперва играете роль звездного Гастелло, лихо расправляетесь с армадами вражеских истребителей и жалите лазерами крейсер сепаратистов, затем приземляетесь в образовавшуюся в корпусе дыру (порой и вовсе прямиком на сам корпус), бегаете на своих двоих, отключаете какой-нибудь генератор силового щита, возвращаетесь за штурвал и вновь бороздите космическое пространство под аккомпанемент гула двигателей и повизгивающих лазеров. Поражает в такие моменты главным образом масштаб происходящего: оказавшись рядом с занимающим добрую половину экрана боевым кораблем, чувствуешь себя настолько ничтожным, что поначалу даже стрелять стыдно, — даром что корабль и сам собран из LEGO.

Перемещение между звездными системами производится с помощью этой запутанной карты.

Игре вообще словно сделали инъекцию гормонами роста. Об этом догадываешься уже на первом уровне, когда разработчики, совершенно того не стесняясь, сваливают на одну арену натурально тысячи дроидов, трех огромных, агрессивно настроенных тварей и одного Джанго Фетта. Апофеоза все это достигает на этапах, где сражаться приходится сперва за контрольные точки, а уже потом за приятно звенящие детальки конструктора. Здесь Traveller’s Tales поработали так, словно следующим их проектом будет не то LEGO Battlefield, не то LEGO Tower Defense. На огромной площади, где уже маршируют отряды дроидов, расположено несколько стратегических точек. На каждой противник укрепился по полной: поставил стационарные орудия, подключил радары, а если штаб сепаратистов выделил достаточный бюджет — то еще и установил генераторы силовых полей и оклеил бункер обоями. Выбивая врага с одного из насиженных мест, мы занимаем точку и совершенно неожиданно получаем доступ к меню строительства. Ресурс один — собранные детали, количество построек — внушительное. Турели нескольких типов, «бараки» для специализированных клонов (кто-то вооружен лазерным оружием, кто-то — ракетометами), точки для сброса боевой техники (совершенно очевидно, что ей можно управлять) и чуть ли не шахты с ядерными ракетами. Конечно же, какой-то тактической глубины или хоть сколько-нибудь сообразительного AI здесь нет, но попытка разбавить аркадные уровни получилась более чем удачной.

И все-таки этого мало. Несмотря на то что LEGO-игры получаются у Traveller’s Tales исключительно обаятельными и захватывающими, базовая механика в них не менялась уже шесть лет. Скоро от нее могут устать даже самые убежденные фанаты. С другой стороны, приличные игры студия почему-то выпускает исключительно под маркой LEGO. Возможно, для начала стоит хотя бы сменить жанр — была же, в конце концов, LEGO Rock Band… но нет, календарь релизов подсказывает, что следующей игрой Traveller’s Tales будет LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean.

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a 2011 Lego game for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and Nintendo 3DS consoles based on The Clone Wars animated series, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts and TT Games, released in March 2011 [1] and is the latest game of the Lego Star Wars video game series. Lego Star Wars III features missions and characters from the Clone Wars television series, as well as favorite characters from the original Star Wars saga, in both single-player and multiplayer gameplay modes.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is similar to the previous titles in the series. Up to two players switch between different characters in order to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and progress through various levels. It introduces a few novelties, including scene swap, where players can switch between teams in separate locations to complete multi-part objectives, and boss battles. The game also features some real-time strategy elements, such as commanding large ground armies across battlefields. Also, the space fights have been remodelled to use a more instinctive, 3D-space battle sensation. It is set during the Clone Wars animated series, as well as certain scenes from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

New features

Overall, the game engine used by previous Lego Star Wars games has been upgraded. It can now hold more than 200 moving units or objects on-screen. The graphics are more detailed than before, and the lighting has been improved to enhance the feeling of depth.

New features include scenarios in which players can command large armies of clones to battle against droid armies (although not on DS), and Story Swap mode, in which players can switch between two characters in different areas whose stories run simultaneously. The game includes split screen combat. All new character features include lightsaber throwing, lightsaber slicing, picking up droids and stepping on certain pads in which Jedi do "combo moves" to destroy certain objects. Vehicle levels have been upgraded slightly; now, players can land their ship and begin fighting on foot (similar to Star Wars: Battlefront II). All the original elements seen in previous Lego Star Wars games have returned. The hub has also been changed, taking place in a Republic Cruiser named the Resolute, allowing the characters to explore all the parts of the Star Wars galaxy.

Themes

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (film)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series) (seasons 1 and 2)

Characters

Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars features voice work by the same actors who appeared in The Clone Wars film and TV show:

David Acord - EV-A4-D - Jar Jar Binks - Luminara Unduli - Darth Vader (classic)

Development and marketing

The game has been in development since late 2009 when the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series started. The game was covered up and in June 2010 after the second season finale The Lego Group started to work on adding the last part of the second season in and new things such as a new hub and a new way to use the lightsaber. Then in late 2010, LEGO finished the game and started to make promotions for it. On 23 June 2010, LEGO released the first trailer for the game and later in 2011 they released some demos and cutscenes. Nintendo have made 3DS trailers for the game too and also some E3 convention videos with the gameplay of Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. On 17 March 2011 they put the demo version of the game on Nintendo systems in Game Stop. The official release date of the game was 22 March 2011.

Reception

The game has received generally mixed reviews. GameSpot gave 6.5/10 for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii [1] while 6/10 for Nintendo 3DS. IGN's Anthony Gallegos rated the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 versions of the game 7.5/10, the Wii version 7/10, and the DS, 3DS, and PSP versions 6.0. He commented on the vast variety in the in-game Hub; "the hub world is open to players to explore, but this time around, Traveller's Tales have really outdone themselves". They further stated "like so much of the LEGO games design, when you combine these two relatively unexciting portions together, something strange happens: It becomes a simple, engaging game". [11] GameTrailers gave the game 6.5/10, and called it "one of the dullest in the entire series", strongly criticizing the game's repetition.

Everyone 10+ Cartoon Violence, Crude Humor

An evolution of the LEGO series, but only a tiny one. If you liked or haven't played the others, you'll enjoy this.

If you are a Star Wars fan craving for something on the 3DS or a Lego fanatic then Star Wars III: The Clone Wars on the 3DS is a title that you should definitely check out.

It works well enough, and even though it's far too easy and features ridiculously simplistic gameplay, it still gets the job done. Still, paying $40 for a game that just gets the job done feels a little wrong, and if you are a real LEGO Star Wars fan, you would be better served picking up the console version.

A glut of unlockables makes LEGO Star Wars III's smash-and-grab emphasis a somewhat addictive grind. Even so, it lacks the nostalgia factor of its predecessors, and with all of the challenge completely stripped out to cater to a younger slant, it's tough to recommend this one for anyone but the most devout of Star Wars enthusiasts.

In a word: disappointing. What we have here is a fun game that, with a bit of polish and a few extra features could have been something truly special.

This review contains spoilers , click expand to view . This game was not great. I sold it only a few weeks after I bought it. It was alright when I bought it but I soon realized my version of the game had been broken. The Story was in the wrong order and made no sense and the streetpass function was broken. That was just my copy of the game though so it probably wouldn't have happened to a lot of people. Something that did however affect all the games was the gameplay. The puzzles were way too easy and repetitive. The story elements were alright but I thought the lego people would talk or at least talk through subtitles and not stay silent and make weird noises. It disappointed me. … Expand

Overall, I really enjoyed LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. Even if you're not a huge fan of the LEGO titles, it's hard to deny that Traveler's Tales has managed to refine the formula of what makes these games work. Toss in the standard co-op mode, which is always a lot of fun, and you've got a great time-waster on your hands here.

The game's replayability is arguably the greatest in recent gaming history, with so many reasons to keep going back, from the plethora of things to unlock, to the endless things to smash.

There's plenty of things to like in LEGO Star Wars III, though some of them might be buried a little too deep for younger players.

The main problem is that even with the replay value in each level, you probably won't really feel like replaying everything again. Unless you're a true completionist, there's not much of a draw to replaying a level that's essentially the same thing as a number of other stages.

Most importantly, though, the various types of gameplay that the developers have thrown together may not be all that amazing on their own, but the elements work together to create a well-paced, easy-to-understand game that is good fun for anyone.

The Clone Wars offers an ambitious step up from previous games in the series, but a ton of small issues across the board lead to boredom and frustration.
