- Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones turns 20 this year, but did you know this movie had six completely different tie in games? Jedi Starfighter, Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns, Attack of the Clones for Game Boy Advance, The Clone Wars, New Droid Army and Bounty Hunter.
In this video I'm going to be taking a look back and comparing these games.
#starwars #attackoftheclones #starwarsgames - Hry
The ultimate test to see if Jango is worthy of the template for the clone army is to get him to murder a trained force user. That's some neat foreshadowing.
Jango, about to attack Mace Windu: "Yeah, I probably got this, right?"
@@BeazerProductions Don’t worry. As long as his jetpack works and he has BOTH of his blasters, he should be fine
Foreshadowing of his "offspring" total incompetence?
_This comment is resented by the Clone Army Academy of Shooting_ (not at) _Things._
@@Vladimir_Kv lol what? The clones are FAR from "total incompetence" that's nonsense as the clones are the MOST competent army in star wars to date.
@@Gadget-Walkmen Lolwut? Revan's actual army would've wiped these meat-droids in seconds. Mandalorian army was, and they were markedly better.
Dooku actually kept his former apprentice's lightsabers after Jango killed her and gave them to Ventress. He ABSOLUTELY has a type.
I'll make sure to get that memorized.
I honestly never knew what became of that apprentice’s sabers after Jango took her out. Plus I could definitely see Dooku passing the sabers of his apprentice to the successor, as a means of not having to have them make their own. As they have a war to wage and an evil plan to fulfill.
This seems a good place to bring up Sev'rance Tann.
@@minicle426 shit, someone else actually remembers her? i actually really liked the story from the galactic battlegrounds.
@@fantasykaijugeeks5452 Plus Ventress wasn't, exactly, an apprentice save for in her own mind...she was a relatively disposable assassin there.
Komari was an apprentice from before Dooku fell, and it was due to Bandomir and the entire thing with the Mandalorians there from the comics. It also tied into other things with the Sith proving themselves by removing prior attachments, so having his prior apprentice killed was part of that.
These games were all a part of the clone wars multimedia project where there was an impressive coordinated effort to tell the 3 year story of the clone wars in real time leading up to the release of Revenge of The Sith across multiple mediums. Comics, novels, games and animation all telling clone wars stories with characters changing and developing as they get closer to ROTS, notably Anakin. They way the games expanded the story and sometimes tying back into the expanded universe lore is so cool and something we don't see anymore or even back then.
The same was done years before with Shadows of the Empire. Video game, books, comics, toys, I think George Lucas even considered directing a movie for it.
Definitely a big part of my childhood. I wish I had access to the comics though.
Nah now all you get is just a vague announcement in fortnite
Then George Lucas later said "You know what? 3D TV show will retcon everything"
And ironically, this TV show ended up one of the few non main movie Star Wars content that wasn't retconned after Disney.
@@vladprus4019 Yeah I'm usually one to defend and champion Lucas and his ultimate authority over Star Wars but this is something that I take major issue with. I'll accept it's technically canon but it doesn't fit in with Legends which is my preferred continuity
Fun fact: Assaj Ventress isn't just using the same style of lightsabre as Komari Vosa. They are *the same* lightsabres. After Vosa was killed by Jango Fett, Dooku retrieved her lightsabres and passed them onto his next apprentice.
Fun fact: When BioWare set up a deal with Lucasarts to make a Star Wars game, LucasArts gave BioWare a choice of settings for the game. They could either do an Episode II game or go 4,000 years back. BioWare chose to set the game four thousand years before the films as it gave them greater creative freedom. And thus we got Knights of the Old Republic.
They choose wisely
The spirit of Exar Kun in shambles RN
So glad they did that, because it would lead to them creating my favorite era of Star Wars, the Old Republic Period, specifically the Great Galactic War and Galactic Cold War. Eternal Empire was cool, but I wasn't a fan of how much happened during that 30-ish year period. Wish it happened a few hundred years later, but that's just what MMO's lead to, oh well, was still cool though.
I remember buying Episode 2 for the GBA brand new for $2 at a dollar store. As a kid I just assumed they didn’t know what they had and thought it was my lucky day. I was mistaken
@ZyklonBeezy sorry to disappoint you but the story is real. It was purchased from a shop called Crazy Clarks which sadly no longer exists.
@ZyklonBeezy Why would u say that? There’s not even anything too crazy or unbelievable in this story!
@ZyklonBeezy dawg there are way more unbelievable stuff and you calling this man a liar 😂😂😂😂😂
@ZyklonBeezy Is it so hard to believe someone bought a shitty game for a cheap price and then realized why the game was priced so low?
@ZyklonBeezy to you maybe
Bounty Hunter was one of my favorite classic LucasArts games. It's the reason why I was so excited for 1313, but we all know how that went...
Yeah I'd rather play that then the stupid outlaw game coming out. Maybe it might be good but you can tell who the target appeal is.
Wow, had a serious nostalgia hit seeing Galactic Battlegrounds gameplay again. I put 100s of hours into that game as a kid, and made dozens of custom campaigns with full stories that literally nobody but myself will ever play or see.
Thank You for Your Service.
I’m happy for you
Oh I've played it. And if you really wanna play it again with some fresh and new things, look up the Expanding Fronts mod. It's practically a new expansion for the game
@@PhoenixAlaris93 , Aaron means no one will ever see or play his custom scenarios….
Oh come on, you just said this because you want us to convince you to release them. Which you totally should do.
I remember playing episode 2 for the GBA as a kid. That was the first time I realized a game could be bad.
Dude. Same. It was a christmas gift as well. Still one of the worst games I’ve ever played.
Same I was so excited. What an awful let down
That day you became a man.
That escort mission. Uuuuuugh.
i will not try to deny that i have six of the different star wars games for gameboy advance and they are a guilty pleasure of mine, yes i know they are bad, that's part of what makes them such a guilty pleasure for me, i can't help it i'm sorri
I'm glad you covered the Clone Wars arena multiplayer horde mode because it's literally the only part of the game I remember XD
Conquest mode is also great. It adds a lot of strategy with capturing bases and ordering units
He forgot to mention that you can unlock Yoda, Padme, and Chewie for the multiplayer
@@mandai2 My brother and I pretty much exclusively played Conquest mode, as well as the vehicle wave combat modes.
I remember in Bounty Hunter, the most effective method of beating Vosa that I found was to tie her up (which can only be done after she's attempted a combo or two, otherwise it just whizzes through her) and melee her to death. Actually did more damage than the blasters.
The side bounties were great, though trying to scan them in crowds of enemies was the worst.
The best thing was using Gameshark to have unlimited jetpack fuel lol
I managed to get 100% all bounties with no civilian casualties.
She's really not that hard. I've beaten the game over and over more than most people, seems they rushed development of the last 3 levels (don't blame them, the other levels are mostly gorgeous, and so much of the time and budget seemingly spent on cutscenes. Still solid very fun replayable game tho). Even tho yes the first final chapter level is still a decent level and good boss fight with Montross... Last 2 tho are some of the worst, but especially back then this game was overall amazing, especially growing up, even with the ridiculous difficulty at times (& I still hate tuscon canyon, freaking snipers everywhere. Even tho "break out" use to be my least fav, but pretty manageable to beat that level without dying if you just play it defensively and let them come to you instead of bum rushing
I had a controller with a turbo switch, turning Jango’s pistols into dual laser miniguns with unlimited ammo.
It was amazing.
Of course Vosa died to be tied up and beat up...
Kind of reminds me of playing Jedi Outcast, getting through a long, epic lightsaber fight with Desaan, watching him jump up onto a ledge and start twirling his lightsaber as a taunt, and, annoyed, pulling out the starting blaster pistol and just shooting him in the head.
I didn't think it would actually work, but there went the ending cutscene...
Jedi Starfighter's blooper real is the most memorable part of the game for me, primarily because it confirms toasters exist in the Star Wars universe.
Out of context, this statement sounds incredibly odd.
The Clone Wars and Bounty Hunter are some of my favorite early 2000's games. I had a lot of fondness for the Clone Wars' Conquest multiplayer mode.
"I can't help but think of Assaji Ventress when I see this evil lady"
21:50 *"She's even got the same dual lightsabers"*
Oh how right you were, and you didn't even know it.
So the lightsabers that Komari Vosa has, ARE Assaji Ventress's lightsabers (in the EU obviously). Remember in the 2D Clone Wars, Ventress is introduced in an arena, with blue, and green lightsabers. After agreeing to hunt down Anakin, Dooku gives her a gift, two red lightsabers in a little box. These are Komari Vosa's lightsabers. Dooku took them after She died in this game, and kept them for 10+ years until he found Ventress. She reminded him of Vosa, so he decided to gift her Vosa's lightsabers. Man the EU was so cool, and well thought out.
Oh. 20 years passed. Can't believe it. Still feels like it was yesterday, time flies by.
Still remember how I struggled with Bounty Hunter, there were silly secondary missions, where you had to tie some of your enemies. And I always accidently killed them and had to restart the level.
Thank you for bringing my memories again.
Attack of the Clones was my Star Wars entry moment. I was in elementary school. My father bought me the the Dark Horse Comic Adaption and a school friend showed me the Original trilogy on a very small TV. I was flabbergasted. And was very thankful to both my father and my friend. The 21 years indeed flies by when you have a lot to do: School, Military, University, first jobs. Now I'm thinking about founding a family. 2 years ago I met the friend from Elementary school again. He's good but we took different pathes and now living in very different social spaces. Memories are bittersweet, but when you a pensive person like me you have to avoid the danger of paralysing melancholy. The best way is to look forward and not regretting that nobody can be experience the year 2002 again.
18:13 The Expanded Universe managed to explain it by saying that it was a force doppelganger (something like what Luke did in the end of TLJ but was physical) that Dooku could control but was a far weaker version which also explains why Anakin managed to defeat it. Weird I know.
This is correct. Big Star Wars EU fan myself and this had to be retconned and they came up with the Dooku doppelganger.
I believe they talk about that in the novel Yoda: Dark Rendezvous (pretty good book by the way). I don't like that explanation, but at the same time it's not like they had a lot of room to work with.
I'd like to know how in the same year we got a game that bases most of its major story beats around a comic from a previous decade, slavishly loyal to continuity, and then get a game with such garbage continuity they thought letting the player kill Count Dooku was a good idea.
@@albernardi8 studio. One studio was full of old EU neckbeards who'd read those comics. The other was full of movie watchers who made video games. They were more concerned with the video game trope of last boss than they were with the star wars trope of don't contradict this please
Still, gotta love Legends for their fix fic moments.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Star Wars was very good at this. In comporisation with the convoluted Star Treck Star Wars had a very consistant timeline and lore. Until Felonys The Clone Wars emerged and overthrowed a lot of good EU elements without any need. Still mad about this.
I've always wondered how the TX-130 tank looks so BAD in the new battlefront compared to the game that came out 20 years ago. The new one is so blocky and the thrusters don't even move around, it's just a floating brick. In the Clone Wars game the model has so much more detail and you can see the thrusters moving around! So damn cool.
RIP Lucasarts. I sunk so much time into Bounty Hunter, Clone Wars TVG and both PS2 Starfighter games.
I love Bounty Hunter. It's a little janky and the scanner mechanic is very clunky. But there's a ton of stuff to unlock and the main gameplay and level design is reeally cool. Jango's entire arsenal is awesome too.
What I love most about it is the story. Count Dooku is very manipulative and conniving in it. Jango has a nice character arc where he learns to care about more than just money. And the questions answered from the film are done so in a satisfying and interesting way.
Always hoped that it would get a sequel or a remake. At this point, I'd settle for a PC port.
One of my favorites from the Gamecube.
They actually got Temuera Morison to do Jango's voice as well
A remaster and upgrade would be awesome there for getting parts working with it.
A sequel with young Boba in between 3 and 4 would be great.
@@Jack_Ss definitely need a tie in
It's in the playstation 4 store for a few bucks. They made a port.
Common misconception.. Adi Gallia wasn't killed in episode 3 on the speeder bikes. She died before order 66. That is another person of the same species.
I don't remember what her Legends death was, but in canon, she got oof'd by Maul.
@@moblinmajorgeneral Adi Gallia's death in Legends was at the hands of Grievous on Boz Pity.
@@moblinmajorgeneral Oof'd by Savage, but Maul was there. Savage impaled her with his horns.
You gotta list the pronouns nowadays
Yeah, the one we see die in order 66 is Stass Allie
I absolutely loved the Clone Wars game - the Republic Fighter Tank became my favourite Star Wars vehicle after that. You have no idea how badly I wanted a die cast model of it. VS was great and it’s one of the few games were you get to fly a Republic Gunship and use the beam turrets (seriously, the wing beam turrets are barely used at all - not in the show, not in games, just not addressed).
I didn’t get to play it much because I was too young to be able to really grasp the controls and properly understand the game; always wanted a remaster.
It's super cheap thankfully to this day
Still waiting for a PC port though, and a polished one at that.
4:31 soooooo actually the prequels did this thing a couple times where they would cast someone to play a background character like Adi Gallia in The Phantom Menace but because she’s not important to the story being told and only appears briefly, for a subsequent film like AOTC and ROTS they’d often just recast a different actor in the role and have them put on the same costume if they were shooting in a different country. But a decent amount of the time they decided the actor looked to different from the original and just made them a completely new character. So that there is Stass Allie and Ado Gallia is actually savagely killed by Savage Opress in the Clone Wars when he rams his head spikes into her like a charging bull. They also did this with Eth Koth and Agen Kolar (the scrub who doesn’t defend himself from a Palpatine stab when they go to arrest him) and actually had to do it with Mace as well at the end of TPM in the celebration scene, Samuel L Jackson isn’t the guy playing him (sorry for ruining the film haha) though that one is still supposed to be Mace Windu and not a different character. But I for one actually like how they did this, gives the universe more depth and more cool characters to play with
22:54 Plus extras, like skechbooks, short clips from deleted scenes (like from a movie set, with a bit of a humor) and a free comic book, wich give us some of the Jango's story during mandalorian civil war. All of that for finding some secrets in game. Oh, btw some of the npcs on game have bounty on them, you can kill them or capure them alive to be for example, given back to their slave master
That scene where Vosa has captured Jango is one of those scenes that has you like: "I hope my parents won't walk in right now."
Star Wars The Clone Wars was THE SHIT and was one of my most played games as a kid. It had some pretty awesome things like multiplayer in which you would go up against someone and take control of outposts, and each outpost would start building tanks to send toward the other side of the map and it was like a PvP multiplayer where you got to actually fight alongside your army.
The coolest thing about this game to me was just, most missions it was, there's an enemy army, and an allied army, and the armies will run at each other into an RTS-level clash and you're just kinda, one of the vehicles involved.
I *loved* the Clone Wars game!
I legitimately grew up playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. That game is probably a decent chunk of my childhood gameplay experience. It's crazy. Never send anybody really talk about that game let alone talk about the DLC that came out years after it was released.
I've always wished that game would have a resurgence. I mean it's Age of Empires 2 but Star Wars. How can you not love that?
same. the map editor was great. created many a star wars city in it.
@@BringbackgAmberleafns omg don't get me started on map editor lmao sooooo many hours spent recreating my fav cities or just super strong enemy basses to assault.
There's a huge mod for Galactic Battlegrounds called Expanding Fronts which is giving the game a bit of a resurgence
@@Awec4 I didn't even know mods were made for it lol I need to go get that
Same here. I loved Galactic Battlegrounds as a kid. Still do really.
Jurassic Park I believe has 7 different unique games that were made to tie into the original film. These include side scrollers, a point and click adventure, and a hybrid top down and fps style game.
Thanks, I’ll have to check them out
Sadly, neither are immortally great in my eyes, though Operation Genesis wasn't that bad.
@@michaelandreipalon359Then I suggest you stop faulting the games and get your eyes checked, because considering how good the games are, I'd say you're setting your standards unreasonably high.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 They just never had that feel of gameplay longevity that other licensed games like Ghostbusters: The Video Games, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, and XIII have.
And even then, the JP games are mostly stuck in licensing hell, which makes them unplayable for modern gaming platforms.
Several locations (beyond Raxus Prime) through these games are tie-ins to other games. The Wookie moon, Alaris Prime, is both the colony blown up in The Clone Wars and originally set up by Qui-Gon in the tutorial scenario of Galactic Battlegrounds. The prison break in Bounty Hunter takes place on Oovo IV, where several races take place in Episode 1 Racer.
For some odd reason, 1997-2006 seemed to be a golden age for licensed tie-in games. I mean, I’m certainly not complaining by any means but THAT particular era gave us legitimate games that had a licensed IP.
Hell, even Barbie in 12 Dancing Princess ended up being a fairly decent 3D action-adventure platformer that just happened to use the Barbie license
No joke, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for PS2/Xbox/GC is one of my favorite games period.
I mean, yeah, that was when movie tie ins were a big thing. Since 2011, you've rarely seen any true movie tie in games.
It was also a golden age for Star Wars games.
@@aresnir2725 honestly 1990-2005 were the Golden Years of gaming in general
@@dtxspeaks268 There were also great games released in 2005-2012
Loved this era of gaming. So many great single player games made from different licenses.
Good games from big publishers were literally coming out every week. Complete contrast to todays gaming releases.
These days: Half-assed multiplayer games and microtransactions up the wazoo
I grew up with Galactic Battlegrounds. It was great and I still replay it sometimes.
@@jesuschrist1275 no actually, my parents gave me games but didn't teach me how to use the internet for a few years after
4:07 lmao I'm dead. I felt the same way when I got to this level like what...did the developers even see the movie?
8:35 Anakin going absolutely ballistic is understandable when you consider all the sand there. 😳
I actually miss these liscensed games. They weren't always very good, but there were definitely a few diamonds in the rough.
More than a few.
Bounty hunter has an awesome start menu theme! The game was great too! Also played clone wars back then. Didn't like it as much but was fun.
I played all the console games on this list and enjoyed them overall. For some reason Jedi Starfighter captured me the most, but Bounty Hunter was overall the best. And honestly, I think Bounty Hunter would benefit greatly from a modern remake treatment.
We also had Racer Revenge which came out in February that year with Episode II Anakin as a podracer. We also saw Oovo IV which is the prison asteroid in Bounty Hunter as a racing location here.
Racer revenge was good too
Galactic battlegrounds + clone campaigns was my entire middle/high school gaming go-to. My older brothers were gamers at the time, so I had lots of options, but that one consumed me for years. Used to build levels, used the cheats all day, damn I miss that
Same here m8, right to a T. 10s of 1000s hours in that game, probably the third most played game I have ever played behind RuneScape and Fallout 3 respectively.
Interesting note that Trihexalon being a bio weapon Does Not affect droids, it’s even mentioned in the cutscene where Toth is examining the sample.
If this weapon were to be used full-scale in battle, entire armies of clones would perish while the droid armies remain untouched.
Unlike most bio weapons that are gas or viral, trihexalon has a catalyst type reaction when exposed to normal temperatures and anything above sub freezing would set it off.
“Total biomass conversion: very dangerous”
As Jenkins describes.
Your comedic timing and editing is incredible. I was laughing my way through this whole video. Good stuff!
The whole video as a whole WAS ALSO a fantastic review OF the games themselves being more than just comedic, which the humor helps but the reviews are truly what makes everything shines! Love this man's videos!
21:24 4 if you count the clone campaigns in Galactic Battlegrounds. In both the CIS and Clone missions that you're on Tatooine, you can fight them as either or.
21:48 Asajj Ventress actually got her Lightsabers from Komari Vosa.
Yep she did in Legends.
@@stiglapoint5672 In the Expanded Universe.
Games like jedi starfighter were great. B games with solid plots and characters and tons of effort put into polishing them. It's a shame the industry cant put out work on this tier anymore.
I remember Bounty Hunter being hard as fuck as a kid because Jango’s health drained so fast and health packs didn’t drop often. I got all the way up to the last level and couldn’t get past the black monkey-zombie men things because they just swarmed you so quickly and the jet pack fuel runs out super quickly.
Yeah the 1st bando gora level is hard even to this day. But only really practical to beat it w/ spamming flamethrower (not my fault it has unilimited juice and is OP lol!) and the bando gora snipers are super cheap, but manageable if careful
Thanks for the nostalgia trip! this was a great video and as such we will watch your career with great interest.
I loved The Clone Wars(game), Jedi Starfighter and especially Bounty Hunter as a kid. I'm glad you covered them.
Man, remember when Star Wars had tie-in material, and got tons of awesome video games? Shame we don't have that anymore.
@Mythic Severl Tie in Games for The Force Awakens would fill in the blanks like a Young Finn fighting for the First Order game. A Poe Adventures Game (space pirate type thing like Rebel Galaxy) and For The Last Jedi you could have a Tie in game based on Youn Kylo and his turn to the ark side and a Hitman type game set on Cantobite with a Bounty Hunter killing for both sides (first order and rebels). and also thy could make another space pirate game for Poes "girlfreind" from Rise of Skywalker. it could revigorate the Sequel trilogy after time passes of course.
@@DaraGaming42 Be damn hard though, even at their best those movies are trash. It would take a complete multimedia effort just to make them make sense, let alone actually make them interesting.
from what I've been reading, there is a loooot of it coming our way over the next few years, as ea no longer holds singular licensing to star wars video games. I don't know if it will compare to LucasArts golden age of games but we will see!
They just need to make more clone wars tie in stuff
Jango Fett and The Clone Wars were two of the best star wars games of the time.
I also loved Galactic Battlegrounds.
And a game that game out a few years later Empire at War (2006), which still to this day has a vibrant Modding Community.
Bounty Hunter and Clone Wars remain to be some of my favorite games from the PS2 era!
I absolutely loved playing Bounty Hunter growing up, and was pleased to find it still holds up after a recent replay!
The Gamecube one was a blast, I frequently hired it. The conquest mode was real fun, where you could capture points to have factories churn out AI tanks for you. You could only have 6 tanks at a time but dammit, that was as good as it got for consoles at the time!
It was also possible to cheese the vehicular wave-based survival modes on the desert map by launching the Hailfire onto a rock on top of the stage, or a nearby cave or something, where you couldn't be hit.
Bounty Hunter was awesome, you had a lot of freedom to just cause havoc for the time, and even though it still had its limitations, it was way more fun than any other Star Wars game.
6:00 Don’t feel bad, that was more or less the strategy the Jedi went for in the actual Battle of Geonosis
Technically that Geonosis ground level in Jedi Starfighter was before the actual Battle began. Somehow there was fighting occurring and Dooku wasn't informed while he just kept talking to Mace Windu in the arena.
It was just like Hitler dont know about Normandy on beggining becasuse people was afraid to inform him
Fun fact : the scene that you show for order 66 is the death of Stass Allie, not Adi Gallia, who is killed during the clone wars, by Savaj Oppress in Cannon and Grievous in Legends
the vehicle based The Clone Wars game here was the only one I played, but I sunk a *ton* of time into it as a kid. absolutely fantastic game with tons of stuff to do and really great moment to moment game feel (except for the on foot bits outside of the arena mode). I've never seen anyone else mention it until now and I thought I might have hallucinated it or fabricated it out of memories of other games. but no, the Force Harvester and DARK REAPER *were* REAL!
Definitely the most underrated Star Wars game of all time!
The RTS was definitely the underrated one. No one really talks about it ,but it was so fun. Loved all the faction units and attention to details.
I'd have also counted Republic commando as a tie in game if you would count the clone wars as a tie in game, both of them are equally centred around the events of the movie as each other and you could possibly even make an argument for the first battlefront being a tie in if you really want to stretch the definition
But that was a tie in to EP3 not EP2
and Battle Front 1 and 2 and the remake of 2, so Tecnilyy the Film has 8 tie in games
@@TheHacknor It was for both and came out in between the two
Yeah RC was tied to ROTS, not AOTC
@@seandonntheg8433 No it didnt it came out 3 months before ROTS
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was one of my favorite games growing up
Jedi Starfighter really holds up. I beat it with a buddy splitscreen on my Xbox series x. It’s tough but well worth a play, especially with a friend
That was probably one of the coolest unique parts of the game, the whole campaign can be played co-op. More games should try that!
I played 3 of them growing up, The Clone Wars for the GameCube (the tank game), Attack of the Clones for the GBA, and Bounty Hunter (played that one on the GameCube too). Wasn't too fond of the GBA one, but I adored both Bounty Hunter and The Clone Wars! I still revisit them every once in awhile
I love this video for several reasons. I'm glad you didn't waste time crapping on the prequel films like every RLM-wannabe CZcamsr, I like the variety in content while technically keeping to the same single subject, and your casual kind of humor continues to entertain.
lol just no, you don’t have to watch or even TRY to be a “RLM” media watcher to criticize the prequels at all, that’s incredibly intellectually dishonest to even say.
I’m a prequel era fan as I love the prequel era and revenge of the sith to death but the prequel films DO have ALOT of obvious glaring problems to them and you don’t have be a “RLM watcher” or a “RLM-wanna” at all to say that at all as there is a lot of people all around the world who have noticed the issues with prequel films when they are fans of the original but not of the new ones. As I prequel fan myself, I don’t entirely blame them.
Like I’m glad as well that he didn’t crap on the prequel films in this video but what your saying here is just nonsense to think this notion your saying about any CZcamsr that criticize the prequel films are “RLM-wanna CZcamsr” as that’s obviously not true as a lot of the criticism against the prequel films ARE valid.
@@Gadget-Walkmen Not what I said nor what I meant, but thanks for the essay.
@@gnbman that’s clearly what you meant here as you implied that the prequel criticism equals to that of some “RLM wanna” here, which is obviously not true.
Agreed. It’s never been funny or interesting to rag on the prequels, it’s just rather pathetic. The prequels have a passion and honesty in them that only a fool could hate.
@@EresirThe1stMmm, yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a fool. A very cool and good thing to say.
Blocking isnt broken in new droid army, you have to time the block just as the blast reaches you to deflect it back,
Yes i played too much of that game lol
yup... my 8 yr old self could figure that out...
Bro I loved this game so much. I only had a game boy/ds forever and played through new droid army dozens of times
Yeah I strongly disagree with this guys poor rating of this awesome game! It must of been way too challenging for him lmao but it was fun IMO i still remember when I got it for Christmas such fond childhood memories!
The fact that most of the cast from The Clone Wars show started out in these games is so great.
Wort Wort Wort Wort
Bounty Hunter is still my favorite SW game (Republic Commando a very close 2nd) Always wanted a sequel set in the OT with Boba Fett. Have it start in A New Hope doing random jobs, last levels are when Vader hires you in Empire, go to Bespin, then follow Shadow's plot of other Hunters trying to steal Carbonite Han from you before you deliver him to Jabba.
To this day Bounty Hunter is one of my all-time favorite games.
I had the clone wars game double pack with Tetris as a kid. I never beat the clone wars game. I got stuck on a level and wasn’t smart enough to figure it out. Granted I didn’t know how to read at the time, which I am sure would have helped.
I really liked the Clone Wars game. Seeing the different vehicles for Star Wars that you don't really see in the films was pretty cool. I also liked how they captured the scale of the war in each missions. You got your character, some friendly clones, and enemies that you fight, but you also get armies of Droid and Clone 2d sprites in the distance battling it out. Even if they don't really kill each other, they're just there for show. Still, I always found it as a clever way to show of the scale of the conflict. The missions were actually pretty great and the Arena mode was awesome. Still have a copy of the game after so many years. Might have to replay it again some time.
lmao holy shit, at 17:26, this extremely obscure star wars gba game holds continuity with another extremely obscure star wars game, star wars obiwan on the xbox. one of the episode 1 tie-in games. genuinely kinda impressed lmfao
edit: ...and then little ani murders dooku 3 years early. whatatwist
Regarding Clone Wars multiplayer: There was a way to unlock more characters for the Arena (if I am remembering correctly you could get the characters by completing bonus objectives in the main levels). I remember you could get Yoda and Chewbacca (who had a blaster instead of a lightsaber).
Yes! You could play as a clone too right?
I loved all of these games. Bought all but The Clone Wars and I rented and beat that one. Put sooo many hours into Jedi Starfighter trying to unlock everything and I may have been slightly addicted to Galactic Battlegrounds at one point. I actually really liked New Droid Army as well.
"Racer's Revenge" was also an AOTC tie-in, sort of
A small detail you miss, In Star wars The clone wars, with Anakin, Kenovi, Mace and the random jedi, you could play also as Yoda on the Geonosis arena. To unlock him, you have to complete all campaing missions with all the secondary objetives.
Jedi Starfighter was my first console video game. What a nostalgia hit. The option to use the other ships was so cool too.
Bounty Hunter was something special from my childhood. Not my favourite game by any means. But one of the first that let me feel like I was playing as part of the Star Wars worlds. I loved hunting extra bounties on Coruscant. I actually wanted an open world game like it just hunting different bounties. Probably wouldn’t sell. But whenever I had to go back to the main story I was upset. Lol
I absolutely LOVE that they took the time to animate Anakin petting the dinosaur he rides. They absolutely didn’t need to do that but it’s nice to see that they bothered.
I generally figured Racer Revenge to be something of a tie-in game as well, as it features an AotC style Anakin as a playable character, and does serve as a direct sequel to Episode I Racer. Although with that said RR doesn't really have anything to do with AotC's plot, rather it's just set in that era (two years before, I think actually). Also maybe Republic Commando, which opens with Geonosis? Though maybe that came quite a bit later, I don't recall off hand. Cool video though, love the overview!
15:38 My friends and I always called this guy Jedi Master Spock, but everyone knows the cheat code characters, especially the Wookie, were OP because blasters were better than lightsabers in that mode! Loved the multiplayer.
I remember playing it with my brother, one player having it easier during the horde sections because of force push, then the other turning the tables in the 1v1 because, like you said, the blaster was way better for that
Huh, never knew about that cutscene if you lose against the final boss in Bounty Hunter. What a nice touch. Too bad I was just too good to ever see it 😎
Excellent video btw, this was such a cool time to be into Star Wars. Even with the questionable quality of the prequels we still had all these video games and the cartoon micro-series that provided some really cool experiences in that world.
I am SO happy you made this video! I loved and had all these games as a kid, and my friends and I played them constantly. Very nostalgic video
One thing I loved about the Bounty Hunter game was the devs put time in to add some bloopers just as a fun extra
Honestly, I've never cared for the Star Wars films, books or toys, but I've played the shit out of many a Star Wars game over the years. Something about dogfighting space jets and wizards with laser swords translates very well to the world of video games.
Episode 3 had more than just that game. Republic Commando and the original Battlefront 2 were tie in games for Revenge of the Sith. And Lego Star Wars as well.
Rots had its own adaption game too ,
I remember getting clone wars thinking it would be rogue leader with tanks. I remember enjoying the first play through but didn't feel it had the same replay value so returned it within a week.
But God miss those arcade style sims. What a glorious time.
I loved the vehicular combat online multiplayer mode in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where two teams competed to conquer control points. It was awesome!
In New Droid Army, that was actually a Doppelganger of Dooku who somehow also knew how to use the Force and a lightsaber.
Honestly, this made me seriously think about the sheer number of Star Wars video games in existence. I'm genuinely curious if there is any other movie franchise that has more tie-in video games. I would assume there are at least hundreds of titles.
15:45 there is a cheat code where you can unlock Yoda there's also like an infinite life cheat code as well I forget it off the top of my head but I'm sure Google will give you the answer I just want wave after wave for hours until the code just stopped caring and I think I just ran around as Yoda in the Arena to the whole time
Bro, I got serious nostalgia seeing Galactic Battlegrounds, the 2002 Clone Wars game and Bounty Hunter gameplay. I played those games all the time when I was a kid back in the early 2000s. I put hours into playing those. It was awesome being able to assemble your own army in Battlegrounds, play as a badass character like Jango and seeing how he met Zam Wessell in Bounty Hunter, and playing as an awesome Jedi warrior like Mace Windu in the 02 Clone Wars game. Those were the days, man.
Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter were my favorite games and got me into the Ace Combat franchise. Tons of childhood memories there.
Galactic Battlegrounds Clone Campaigns and just the basic game was fun! Had many hours on that as well as the games they were based from, Age of Empires 2.
Galactic Battlegrounds' tie-in bit was actually quite neat. Sure, it didn't do anything overly groundbreaking the original GB hadn't already (though I have to say that I really like the addition of flying/space units in the Age of Empires engine, it completely changed the way I played it). But it did what I love to see from any "side" franchise game - it told a couple cool and neat stories that tied well into the bigger franchise story of the time without being "required reading" to understand anything. It's more Prequel-story Star Wars for those who enjoyed the Clone Wars era, and I am one of them, so I came away very satisfied.
Knew, played, and own every one of them EXCEPT "The New Droid Army". Never even heard of it.
Personally, If there is ONE game I go back to and play occasionally to this day, its the Battlegrounds game. I still remember my friend booting up Age of Empires 1 and having a blast just watching him play. To get a SW skin over it made it truly special for me, especially with The Clone Wars version a year or two released later. Funny thing about that game was that I learned how to use CTRL-V for Paste, and CTRL-C for copy, as I got tired of typing "simonsays".
Jedi Starfighter felt like... Well, SW Starfighter. It was alright.
The GBA one was way too hard for me to complete, and honestly, haven't tried it since the few weeks after it released.
I have good memories of the Clone Wars game, especially the multiplayer fending of waves in the Geonosian arena, as well as camping in the power-up cave in the vehicle version.
Bounty Hunter was fun. But in all honesty, would perhaps feel like the most dated one of the ones that I've played.
Worth pointing out that Galactic Battlegrounds is still being kept up to date to this day by fans with mods that incorporate content from Episode III and the Sequel Trilogy. Amazing that it's still being supported after all this time.
EDIT: Forgot to add that the newest update (due soon) is also going to add factions after Return of the Jedi from the Legends continuity.
I loved playing New Droid Army as a kid, pure nostalgia
I loved the starfighter games (especially the outtakes videos and extras), i wanted them to make one for the third film, but i didnt get a jedi power battles 2 so i wasnt optimistic lol
I have many fond memories of The Clone Wars. It was one of, if not the, last games I rented.
The funny thing is, the way you play Battlegrounds is canonically how the Battle of Geonosis actually went
By my count ROTS has five tie-in games: The Xbox/PS2 game, the GBA/DS/J2ME game, the Rage of the Wookies expansion for Galaxies, the venerable Republic Commando, and the original Lego Star Wars. TPM on the other hand has.. a lot. The "Episode-related titles" section on Wikipedia seems to cover all of them in that case
Wait for him to review those games. I wonder if he'll go back to the first episode for a video before tackling the third episode's lot.
i truly did enjoy star wars the clone wars back when it came out. I had a friend that would come over and we played so much of the coop and 1v1. I don't think i would enjoy it now as i did back then
I don't know if you knew, but Galactic Battlegrounds was not just on the same engine as AoE II, it's straight up just a reskin with some modifications of AoE II. Which is no bad thing! If you've played AoE II you'll know where things are and what does what from the start directly in Galactic Battlegrounds. Because of that it was one of my favourite childhood games because I now had my historic AND my sci fi favourite RTS to play!
I have lots of good memories playing The Clone Wars, but I never actually finished the campaign (lotta multiplayer). Good to see it went full crazy.
Just recently discovered your channel and i got say i'm lovin' it! I've watched all your videos and looking forward to see new ones
