Star Wars: The Clone Wars
LucasArts
announces a new game entitled Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a
ground and air-based combat action game inspired by and expanding upon
one of the Star Wars galaxy's most dramatic and intensely
fought conflicts, to Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2. Star
Wars: The Clone Wars, to be published and distributed by
LucasArts and developed by Pandemic Studios, is expected to release on
both platforms in fall 2002.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars immerses players into the role of
Jedi hero to lead a clone army from the Republic against the menacing
offensive threat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Under the
leadership of the insidious Count Dooku, countless armies of
Confederacy droids have swarmed every star system, sowing chaos and
destruction across Republic worlds. To combat this threat the Republic
has deployed a massive army of clones, led by one of three
player-controlled Jedi: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi or Mace Windu.
Their goal is to thwart the Confederacy from reassembling an ancient
Sith weapon of mass destruction. That mandate places the fate of the
Republic in the hands of players, who must command their forces
through 16 dramatic campaigns spanning six immense Star Wars
worlds, from the desolate, ice-covered ruins of Rhen Var and war-torn
plains of Geonosis, to the towering treetop cities of the Wookiee home
planet of Kashyyyk. To read more and see screen shots, visit the
