One of the best games of it's time.

LEGO Star Wars: the Video Game is an absolutely fantastic title and one of the best Star Wars games ever. It's fun and cartoonish and not too challenging, but the creativity is overwhelming. There are many extra things to do besides just beat the Story Mode and a hidden level and many unlockables. You can play as just about anyone in Star Wars from episodes I-III like the main characters like Obi-Wan and Anakin, as well as characters as minor as Kit Fisto and Shaak Ti. It's easy yes, but this is a thoroughly recommended game that will provide hours of fun, even if you complete it in a few days. |

Excellent for kids

Excellent game - my 5 (now 6) year old boy still loves this one. The drop in / drop out facility is great when you need an adult to join in and help eg. the pod race is very tricky.
The game follows the film storyline using the correct characters. You collect all the characters along the way and can replay levels with these new characters that have different skills/powers. As a result the game has long playability for kids. Lots of funny inserts, comic noises etc. Very well put together.
Not for serious gamers of course - the age rating is 3+ !! |

Great Game! But maybe it´s not what you´re looking for!

This is not an adventure game, but a puzzle solving game. You can die a million times and you´ll keep playing without seeing "game over". You simply cannot fail any of the scenarios, just keep trying until you succeed. The difficulty of the game is in clearing a mission solving all the secrets and picking up all the coins (whenever you die, you´ll lose coins, making this harder). The game is very short and easy to complete, but then you can play every scenario again many times until you solve all it´s secrets. The puzzles are well designed and original, but quite easy if you are experienced in puzzle games. All the game is surrounded with a funny/informal atmosphere which makes it very enjoyable. Graphics are OK, they´re obviously LEGO models, so don´t expect breathtaking scenes, or detailed models. The Jedi characters performing "the Force" can trigger original effects, such breaking a LEGO construction into its bits and then reshape it into a platform onto you can jump, etc... There are many Star Wars characters available, but lots of them are the same with another look. For example, Anakin Skywalker Kid and Boba Fett (Kid) are clones except for their appearance. There are only three "archetypes" of character: Jedis (fast and armed with light saber), Shooters (armed with Blasters), and PuzzleSolvers (without combat power, but with the ability to jump higher, fly, pass through some places or open certain doors, you´ll need them to solve puzzles). In each archetype you can find little differences, for example, a combat droid is a Shooter character who cannot jump but the droid enemies will think it is friendly and won´t shoot it. Few characters are particularly cool (as Yoda or Jango Fett) because they mix cool abilities of others, but they´ve no "unique abilities" of their own. Overall:
LEGO Star Wars is a great, informal, innocent, original, and funny game. Very suitable for children, LEGO fans, Star Wars fans, or casual players. But be warned: it´s a puzzle game. And it´s very easy, so if you´re a die-hard gamer looking for a challenging game, don´t but it. |

My Virtual Lego

Ok, who as child never dreamed of having a full set of Lego? Mine was a huge castle with knights in horses! So, it might explain a little why I bought this game without even thinking twice. Lego gave the Star Wars stories a joking humour, making it fun to play even following the same dark storyline for Anakin Skywalker. And the great thing about this games is the option to play with someonelse and to change characters during the game. Makes it funnier and easier as well. I only rated as 4 stars instead of 5 for the fact you can die as much as you want, and as long as you have money, you just keep playing. And I loved the collectable items. It allows you to build lego spaceships. They are shown outside the pub (the start point of all you missions). Great fun, good memories! |
