Family Friendliness: GamerPops.com:  Lego Star Wars 3 Clone Wars Adventures might be one of the more quality kid-focused titles available for the 3DS right now, but it’s not really the LEGO game experience we like at GamerPops. The single player is still a fun, quality experience, and the other hallmarks of LEGO games are still there. It stands out among the other launch titles as one of our favorite 3DS games to date, but the absence of any form of co-op play is a significant downgrade and a disappointment.

Highlights:
- Familiar gameplay and smart sense of humor is always a nice touch, especially considering the cartoon itself can be quite dark sometimes.

- The “violence” in the game is as innocuous as it gets.  Characters break apart when “killed” and if you have boys, it’s nothing they don’t pretend to play on a daily basis.
Lowlights:
- Absence of co-op play makes Lego Star Wars 3 The Clone Wars lose a lot about what makes the Lego games so great for families – the ability to play together.

- Long stretches of time between opportunities to save make it likely you’ll need to replay big parts of the game unless you have lots of continued, uninterrupted stretches of playtime.
