The hub has also been changed, taking place in a Republic Cruiser named the Resolute, allowing the characters to explore all the parts of the Star Wars galaxy. All the original elements seen in previousLego Star Wars games have returned. Vehicle levels have been upgraded slightly: now, players can land their ship and begin fighting on foot. All new character features include lightsaber throwing, lightsaber slicing, picking up droids and stepping on certain pads in which Jedi do "combo moves" to destroy certain objects. The game will include split screen combat. New features include scenarios in which players can command large armies of clones to battle against droid armies, and Story Swap mode, in which players can switch between two characters in different areas whose stories run simultaneously. The graphics are more detailed than before, and the lighting has been improved to enhance the feeling of depth. It can now hold more than 200 moving units/objects on-screen. Overall, the game engine used by previous Lego Star Wars games has been upgraded. It is set during the Clone Wars animated series, as well as certain scenes from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Also, the space fights have been remodelled to use a more instinctive, 3D-space battle sensation. The game will also feature some real-time strategy elements, such as commanding of large ground armies across battlefields. Gameplay will be similar to previous titles in TT Games' Lego series, in which up to two players switch between different characters in order to fight enemies, solve puzzles, progress through various levels, and it introduces a few novelties, including scene swap, where players switch between teams in separate locations to complete multi-part objectives, and boss battles. Lego Star Wars III will feature missions and characters from the Clone Warstelevision series, as well as favourite characters from the original Star Wars saga, in both single-player and multiplayer gameplay modes. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a 2011 Lego game for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC and 3DS consoles based on The Clone Wars animated series, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts and TT Games, due for release in March 2011 and is the latest game of the Lego Star Wars video game series.
