Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts in North America and Activision in Europe for GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
This game mostly consists of vehicular combat, such as clone war ships, starfighters, speeder bikes and tanks, although there are a few times on certain missions where the player controls Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu.
The game is split up into two segments, vehicles and third-person person Jedi fighting. The vehicle segments involve most vehicles from the Star Wars universe: STAPs, tanks, AATs, AT-XTs, and Republic gunships. The controls used involve primary and secondary fire, acceleration and a special ability that changes from vehicle to vehicle. The Jedi segments use basic lightsaber slashing and two force powers, which rely on a force power bar, lightsaber throw and force push.
The game begins with the Battle of Geonosis from Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The player takes control of Jedi Master Mace Windu as he uses his light saber to battle droids across the war torn planet. Later on the story takes the player through the evacuation of Rhen Var, with the player, as Anakin Skywalker, leading the escape only minutes before the Separatist Army captures the planet.
One month after the Battle of Geonosis, the Republic detects unusual activity on Raxus Prime, and sends a strike force led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate the activity.
On arrival, they find Separatist forces at an excavation site. They send for reinforcements to take the planet. The Republic captures Raxus Prime, but during the battle, Anakin is captured by Sith Count Dooku.
Anakin Skywalker is sent to Alaris Prime, the Kashyyyk moon, to be executed. Skywalker and the other prisoners are doomed to be killed by the Force Harvester, an ancient Sith weapon that drains the Force from all living things within its range. Anakin is able to escape his cell and call for help after using a speeder to escape the Force Harvester's range. The Republic's Army arrives on the moon, rescues Anakin, and destroys the Separatist presence on Alaris Prime.
