E3 2008: Star Wars The Clone Wars DS - create your own Jedi dream teams
First screenshots are released, too
We knew it was coming but we didn't know much about it prior to this year's E3. Now though, the lid has been lifted on how Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance will play on DS.
According to LucasArts, the game features an exclusive DS story which expands the Clone Wars series. It also enables you to create your own personalised Jedi teams by pairing up Jedi Masters and Padawans. So Anakin Skywalker is able to fight alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano wth Mace Windu.
Imagine that.
It's also possible to develop the relationship between your two Jedis and develop more powerful attacks and special abilities. Missions can be replayed with different character combinations for an entirely new experience, as well as the chance to unlock new areas, collectibles and other secrets.
Of course, the most important question to be answered is whether you can use the stylus to fight with a lightsaber. And, naturally, the answer is yes. LucasArts says the game will feature "innovative stylus-based input" which controls both the Jedi's movement and his lightsaber. Cinematic action sequences, too, are controllable using the touchscreen.
Finally, the game offers a two-player wireless mode which lets you and a friend play in a drop in/drop out Lego Star Wars-style.
As well as all this new game information, LucasArts was kind enough to also release the first screenshots of the game (pictured). So soak them up and prepare for Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance to hit your DS this Christmas.
