The game also features some real-time strategy elements, such as commanding large ground armies across battlefields. It introduces a few novelties, including scene swap, where players can switch between teams in separate locations to complete multi-part objectives, and boss battles.
Up to two players can switch between different characters to fight enemies in combat, solve puzzles, and progress through various levels. Gameplay in Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is similar to the previous titles in the series, and other Lego video games.
