 It's Star Wars but it's LEGO - it's just not right! May 30, 2006
Mr. S. B. Reason (A Galaxy far, far away...)

OK, first off, I would like to come out and admit it. Yes. It's true, I'm a total Star Wars nut. I've got every lightsaber Master Replicas made, I made it to Jedi in the lamented Star Wars Galaxies, I've seriously considered going on Master Mind with Star Wars as my specialist subject. You get the picture.
I also love Lego. But, let's be honest, the idea of a Lego Star Wars game didn't exactly float my boat. I've ignored this title for quite a long time - firstly, because I thought it was for kiddies - take a look at the box, ages 3+, and look at those graphics! And secondly, well er, because it's LEGO!
But my time is at hand. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine mentioned how had got this for his console, and how cool it was. Well, his glowing reviews convinced me to buy it.
And I'm very glad that he did.
Even though it's only the crappy episodes I-III, even though it's "blocky" lego, it's one of these games that shouldn't work, but it JUST DOES. It's a bit like a triple fried egg curry sandwich. It's fantastic and I love it!
Graphically, it's excellent. Even though it's only Lego, the rendering of the parts is fantastic. It really works. The space battles (Ep III into especially) are visually impressive, exciting, and great fun. The ground levels are every bit as fun - to be honest, I would say I've had more fun playing this game than I did watching Episodes I-III at the cinema!
For me, a personal highlight is that you can slice Ja-Ja in half with your lightsaber if you want... (I didn't say that)
The designers have done a very clever thing with this game - the game is quite easy to complete (for an adult). The age on the box is 3+, and for very young children, the game would be fantastic fun.
But for us adults, we can then go back and collect parts to make our space ships and vehicles. In point of fact, many 'secrets' on the levels can't be unlocked until you have characters with different skills (like the excreble Ja-Ja's jumping) to find special parts.
And it supports dual-play, a second player can just dip in and out whenever it suits them.
And - get this - my GIRLFRIEND LIKES IT! Would you believe it! Finally a Star Wars game that she likes! Mainly because it's cute, but also because it's fun, we've had literally ceaseless minutes of playing the game together!
It reminds me very much of something like the old Sonic the Hedgehog game, or one of the old platform games. The graphics are good quality, but cartoony, but the gameplay is so good it makes a great game.
Right now, it's less than a tenner. That's an absolute bargain. A great game for less than a decent round of drinks! What more could you want?
Easy to complete, difficult to master, I can't wait for the OT version to come out now :-)
Best father-son game ever! August 8, 2006

This is the best father-son game I have ever bought for the PC.
My six-year-old son and I played this game for hours and hours over several months. He started to phone me at work and ask me to come home as soon as possible so we could continue the adventure.
The game itself has a number of different levels, and on each level certain combinations of characters will enable you to clear it. It's a lot of fun figuring out which characters will do the trick.
The graphics are excellent and the storyline closely follows the films. It's great fun.
That said, you should note the other reviews on this page warning that the game does not work with all PCs. Make sure you're OK before buying. Knowing what I know now, I would buy a new graphics card if necessary just to make this thing work.

A fantastic game set at just the right level for young children. Most games spoil the enjoyment for younger children by locking down the levels so that they just get stuck, frustrated and disheartened. Here careful thought has been given to how children will progress. It's not hard to complete all of the levels. What has impressed me is that even with all the levels open the game remains enjoyable in free player mode. My 7 year old son returns to it time after time even though he now has all the collectable items and has opened the bonus level. In contrast the new Lego Star Wars II game has been made just that little bit harder. It is still good for children but by making all those levels inaccessible and hard to find the programmers have taken the fun out of that game rather than putting it in.
