Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Pandemic's Clone Wars game, starting at the Battle of Geonosis: mostly vehicle combat in tanks, speeders, and starfighters, with on-foot missions as Anakin, Obi-Wan, or Mace Windu. Reviewed decently, sold over three million, and the driving is still the good part.

Playing it today
Still a good time, mostly behind the controls of a tank or a speeder. Pandemic's game opens at the Battle of Geonosis and spends most of its campaign in vehicles, with shorter on-foot missions as Anakin, Obi-Wan or Mace Windu. It reviewed in the low seventies on every platform and sold 3.1 million copies.
Playing it today is easy and cheap. Sony's PS4 and PS5 release runs the PS2 version with sharper rendering, rewind, quick saves and video filters. On Xbox, the digital release and even the old Clone Wars and Tetris Worlds combo disc play on current consoles.
In our view the on-foot Jedi levels are the weak part and show their age more than the driving does. Skip it if you want lightsaber action first. If you grew up with the Clone Wars, five dollars buys a good weekend.
