The game starts -- as every LucasArts game does -- with a comical animation, and after no real introduction places you inside a spaceship with the menu to deal with. Quite simple really with Campaign, Multiplayer and Options. A swift cruise through the options moves you to different parts of the ship and introduces you to the fact that you can unlock new things with progression through the game. Movies that you get to re-watch as you see them through playing through the game, and multiplayer levels, sound tests, and behind the scenes that you can unlock with the right amount of bonus objectives completed in the Campaign mode. Choose your difficulty and get out there and kill those Separatists.

Clone Wars is easily one of the most simple games on the market that has a story-line AND the ability to pick it up and be able to do well straight away. Controls are simple, the control stick aims you where you want to go and moves forward and back, the right and left triggers are used as strafing devices, A to shoot, B and Y as special functions, X changes your camera view, while Z changes to zoom mode, making it even easier to target enemies drawing closer.
