The Clone Wars Lightsaber Game Looks…Oh, Dear
For those of you who were worried about the Star Wars: Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duel game for Wii, either because it was based on the increasingly aggravating Clone Wars CG cartoon or because you felt certain that all the good people at LucasArts were obviously working on The Force Unleashed, this new E3 trailer shows two lobotomized young men who are enjoying it very much, thank you.
Okay, maybe they aren’t lobotomized, but are just happy because they’ve been plucked from 1984 to play what seems to them to be a breathtakingly awesome videogame. Because to us folks living in 2008, this thing looks…uh…not breathtakingly awesome. Let’s just leave it at that.
