A fun time for a little while in the Star Wars Universe.

It's alright. It wasn't the best Star Wars game I've ever played, but it definitely wasn't the worse. I went in to the game thinking I was going to be dropped into huge roaring battle fields. Although you get the feeling that there is a large landscape out there over a number of locations you get to visit, your movement through them feels quite linear. There is plenty of action during the battles with various vehicles to hop into. There are a large number of enemies to battle, but not all at once. They just kinda come in waves, and all at you. There's little feeling that you're part of a bigger battle, which is what I was hoping for. With the few exceptions here and there, I got the feeling every now and then that they took the same 3 levels and put them on repeat; Okay, now drive a tank. Okay now fly a ship. Okay now run around. Okay, now drive a tank. Okay now fly a ship. Okay, now get on a speeder. Okay, now drive a tank.... etc.
Although I was happy with the difficulty of the levels overall, I found the boss battles very challenging.
Perhaps it was because I played Battlefront (which I loved) before I played clone wars, I was expecting something more like that, just with heavy emphasis on the vehicles. And although I did have some fun, and there was lots of time in the vehicles, the game as a whole came in below my expectations.
It's fun for a quick Star Wars fix, but not the shining star from the franchise.
