I've been a bit quiet recently, partially out of apathy for the game and partially because I've been playing other things like Star Wars: Battlefront II and Grand Theft Auto IV. But I haven't completely given up with it. So, Dwagginz, what have you done up until now?
Well, I gave in and got a one month membership...
Firstly, I was wrong. It's £3.99 for a month, which sort of changes my perspective on membership. It's a lot for not a lot. You unlock more costumes (And they're adding more) and things, but nothing ever feels like it's [i]worth it[/i].
The Tower Defence game (Republic Defender, I believe) really ramps up in difficulty once you get to the member stages. I suspect it's aimed more at the older players, but I'll admit I really began to struggle with it. You don't get a lot of time on the Daily Trivia quiz (Members Only!) to answer the questions, with the end of the question's audio being close to the end of your allotted time. If you factor in the bugs and so forth, CWA is quite a challenging game for the market it's aimed at.
Overall, I think Clone Wars Adventures is a mixed bag. The games seem a bit too difficult, and whilst it may encourage parents to join in, I think both child and adult will find themselves frustrated within a short timespan. All there is to do, beyond running around and exploring a handful of areas (With nothing to find, I might add) is play the mini-games. You can try to socialise if you like, but I'm not sure I could recommend it. I never used the chat system but if it's like FR's then it'll be very crippled and restrictive.
My honest opinion, at this moment, is to wait for more content to be added. More items to buy, more customisation options, more levels and so on. With games like Free Realms around which are arguably more accessible to younger players and which have a higher content level for free players, I think CWA pales in comparison. Yeah, it's a bit fun, but that's it. Free Realms, in my opinion, is much more deserving of your time and (If you so choose, money).
Will I continue with this game? Perhaps. Will I do so as paid? Not unless SOE give me a reason to.
