Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes for Xbox 360
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes for Xbox 360 is an action-platform game based on the animated series. You follow characters including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano during a conflict with Separatist forces. Missions alternate between Jedi and clone troopers. As a Jedi, you use lightsaber attacks, jumps and the Force; as a trooper, you use blasters, grenades and other military weapons. You thus experience the same war through different roles, each with its own movements and combat tools.
On Xbox 360 you can play the campaign alone or locally with two players, each with a separate controller. The second player controls the partner otherwise led by the computer. Completed missions can be selected again for missed items and upgrades; the local story needs no network service.
On Xbox 360, you play the campaign alone with a computer-controlled partner beside you. The two-player cooperative campaign found in certain console versions is not included in this handheld edition. After completing a mission, you can select it again to collect missed items and use purchased upgrades. Your progress is automatically saved to a Xbox 360-opslagapparaat after missions. You do not need a second Xbox 360 or an internet connection for the solo story.

The history of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes
LucasArts and Krome Studios brought Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes to Xbox 360 in 2009. The game followed the animated film and television series that had begun in 2008. LucasArts announced the project in May 2009 as a new story leading into the second television season. The recognisable angular characters and settings were intended to evoke the same world while players took control of Jedi and clone trooper battles themselves.
Krome worked with Lucasfilm Animation on this project. The studio had previously developed the Wii game The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, but Republic Heroes turned the television universe into a series of action-platform missions. Alternating Jedi and troopers also shaped the level design: lightsabers, Force powers and jumps required different obstacles from firearms and cover. Cad Bane returned from the series, while Kul Teska became a new enemy for this adventure.
Republic Heroes appeared on several gaming systems, but the versions are not identical across platforms. The separate Nintendo DS game came from the Lucasfilm Animation Singapore team and used the touchscreen. On Xbox 360, Krome built the action around buttons and an analogue stick, with a computer-controlled companion during the solo story. The finished release arrived in autumn 2009. The adventure thus coincided with the period when The Clone Wars was expanding further on television.
Similar games for Xbox 360
Star Wars: Lethal Alliance for Xbox 360 uses the same film universe but takes place around the rise of the Rebel Alliance. Rianna Saren fires blasters and gives orders to droid Zeeo; she has no Jedi powers. Republic Heroes instead alternates lightsaber combat with clone troopers. Both use a partner during the action, but Lethal Alliance integrates that cooperation more closely with computer security and joint acrobatics within a fixed mercenary duo.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame on Xbox 360 also features three-dimensional action, short puzzles and a computer-controlled partner. Batman and Robin change suits to overcome new obstacles, while Republic Heroes gives Jedi and clone troopers their own missions. LEGO Batman more often encourages you to return with different characters to find hidden bricks. Republic Heroes uses the war and heroes from the television series to guide its changes of pace.
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for Xbox 360 alternates shooting and jumping in a science-fiction world. Ratchet builds an arsenal of unusual weapons, and Clank has separate challenges. Republic Heroes divides its combat between Jedi and clone troopers, using lightsabers or military equipment. Both feature obstacles requiring more than just attacking, but Ratchet places more emphasis on gadgets, planetary exploration and developing one main character.
God of War: Chains of Olympus on Xbox 360, like the Jedi missions, combines jumping with close-range combat. Kratos uses chained weapons and magic in a violent mythological story. Republic Heroes keeps its action within the cartoon universe and interrupts lightsaber fights with trooper missions. Chains of Olympus also uses climbing routes and environmental puzzles centred on one warrior; Republic Heroes lets you follow the individual abilities of several familiar characters.
Killzone Liberation for Xbox 360 offers a different view of a science-fiction war. From a higher camera angle, you guide Jan Templar past cover and military objectives. Republic Heroes' clone troopers also use firearms, but their missions alternate with Jedi acrobatics and Force powers. Killzone demands more attention to position and sightlines during tactical firefights; Republic Heroes also lets jumps, droid control and puzzles between enemy groups set the pace.
