Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes released

LucasArts has released Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS and PC. Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes allows players to fight as both Jedi Knights and clone troopers through over 40 missions, all created from shared visual assets from the TV series that airs on Cartoon Network.

Featuring a brand-new storyline, players get the chance to take part in the key events that lead directly into the second season of the animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Jedi characters can slice and dice their way through enemies, commandeer droids and show off their combat prowess on foot and in a variety of vehicles. Clone troopers use a heavy weapons platform that includes rocket launchers, thermal detonators and even jet packs in levels built specifically put run-and-gun gameplay to the test.

The game also supports two player local drop-in and drop-out cooperative play on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. Look for the game in stores this week.
