 7 year old twin boys think it's awesome July 27, 2008
we bought this over a month ago ang they beg every hour of every day to play
 Which chapter's your favorite? July 26, 2008
Right. Having read all the reviews and then deciding to plonk big big money down on this game, I felt I had to compile a small small review. So here it is:
Putting a Star Wars game into the market is always risky, because most of them seem to be bland and one-dimensional. Not since the 1980 vector-based arcade came has there been a Star Wars game WORTH playing.
And why is it worth playing? Because it takes key sequences from the movies, adds some goals and coins and more baddies than what they could do on the big screen in 1980 (but without going so garishly overboard in 1999) and allows YOU to play them.
It gets better; whether it's easier for the console to draw series of blocks, Lego wanting more licensing royalties, or if somebody decided that mixing a legendary genre with a legendary building block set might actually be a work of genius, we do not know. Regardless, it's a brilliant idea.
Best of all, this isn't the usual "3 lives and you're done" -- you can keep getting killed and you'll magically reappear. Remember this because I'm going to refer to it later on...
I could froth on and on about how this game is so great, when everyone else has said why. So, why do I knock off a star?
Simple: In order to play ANY of the movies' sequences, you first have to drink 126 cups of coffee and meander through some of the dreary "Phantom Menace" games. If you're the type of person, like me, who'd rather endure the bubonic plague and a running cold water in tooth cavity while watching paint dry instead of watching movie prequels 1-3, you're not going to want to really care because you want to get at the actually good stuff (episodes 4-6).
Which is why being able to die constantly is so terrific! If there's a scene you really want to get over with, but know you have to finish it before you can get onto something fun, just whiz through it and not worry about a thing. If you had 3 lives, snuffed it, and hard to start over from the beginning, at some point every person reviewing here would rate the game a big fat 1 star, and that'd still be generous.
For that ability alone, to die over and over and it having no effect on actual game play, I really shouldn't have withdrawn a star... but the first three prequels barely qualify as part of the saga IMHO and the repetitiveness really got on my nerves... I will say this: The pod racing game was rather enjoyable. I just didn't like feeling I'm playing the brat who ends up the most vile person in the universe, but nothing's perfect - it's about the game, not the people who scribbled up the movie with crayons in the first place.
Incidentally, I wasn't entirely annoyed at meandering through "Phantom Menace". For a while, it was great fun slicing Jar Jar Stinx over and over again with my light saber. Maybe I'll do that some more later on today... :)
But add my voice to the choir - reliving these movies by BEING the action is a stroke of genius, and taking the best films from Hollywood's golden age helps too.
Hmmm. One other thing -- after enduring scene after scene of boring slicing and dicing with light sabers in ep 1, it was rather nice getting to the wider array of sequences in the other movies. Especially "Empire Strikes Back", for all the obvious reasons. :)
CRAZY FUN! ADDICTING! ACTION PACKED & INTENSE, FOLLOWS EACH STAR WARS MOVIE TO THE TEEEE!!! A MUST HAVE FOR STAR WARS FANATICS! July 14, 2008
If you're a Star Wars fanatic and always wanted to know what it would feel like to be able to use the FORCE and slice up your enemies with a Light Sabor....this is a MUST HAVE!!! If you ever watched the Star Wars movies over and over as I have, had favorite characters and movie experiences that you felt you could never get enough of...this is the game for you! Lucas Arts has truly out-done themselves with Lego Star Wars...
The game follows the movies to the tee. Don't let the "LEGO" name fool you into thinking this is just a game for kids. The Graphics are amazing and extremely detailed, the story line is "Right On", the Music is Intense and direct from all the Star Wars Movie Sounds Tracks. The Sounds effects of the flying star ships, x-wing fighters, Light Sabors, Ewoks, Chewbacca, R2, C3PO....and all your other favorites are direct from Lucas Arts Entertainment and into your living room.
The game is really long "thankfully"...but it's definitely not meant to be played and completed over a weekend. It's a game I've been playing and enjoying for months now and I just finished Return of the Jedi last night. What a Blast this game is!
Never have I played a game this intense. I know what's coming throughout each level of the game since they follow all the movies from start to finish, but I never thought I would be able to experience the action first hand. You fight with your light sabor, blow things up, fly the Millenium Falcon, fly an X-Wing, fight Darth Mall & Darth Vadar, fight along side the Ewoks, blow up the Death Star, tie up the legs and trip up massive At-Ats in the snow on Plant Hoth, train with Yoda to become a Jedi in the swamps of Tattoine, fight against Anakin in the Hot Lava as he turns to the Dark side...it really is intense and insane!
The Wii controls really enable you to become a part of each character you become throught each level of the game. The fighting moves for each character all resemble the actions of the real characters in the movie....and believe it or not....it feels amazing to use the force and pick up huge objects and wing them at your enemies or literally pick up your enemies until they explode under your grip. Just the sounds of waving around your light sabor in your own home while slicing up storm troppers was enough to get me to give this game a shot. Lego Star Wars is definitely more than worth the $50 bucks.
I am not even a huge video game fanatic....until the release of the Wii system. But this Star Wars game has taken my interest to a whole new level. The Game is challenging but engaging, addictive, and the action packed explosions and fighting against the evil Dark Side is just crazy fun!
As Each character from the movie is introduced into the game, new fighting skills emerge, new techniques to "figure out" the secret to each level and each chapter of each movie.
You can conquer a level of each chapter one at a time, and save your progress as you jouney through the galaxy from Star Wars a New Hope...all the way to Return of the Jedi.
All your favorites are in the game....Yoda, Luke, Han Solo, the Ewoks, At-Ats, Lando, Boba Fett, Pricess Lea, Chewbacca, Jobba the Hut, General Palpatine, General Grevious, the Sand People, C3PO, R2D2, Count Doo-Ku, Jawa's, Queen Amadala, Obi One, Darth Mall, Darth Vadar, Anakin as a Kid, the Emperor...and many many more.
The game is extrememly unique and gives you a HUGE varitey of experiences from racing for your freedom as Anakin, flying the Milenium Falcon through the Death Star, fighting against Darth Mall, battling along side JarJar in the Clone Wars, Ripping through the forrests of Endor on your Speeder, Fighting At-Ats in the snow, flying through a city to catch the Changling that tried to kill Queen Amadala, rescuing Princess Lea from a star ship, fighting to free Han Solo from the Carbonite before helping Jobba the Hut reach his doom...the excitment never ends in this game.
Anyway....if you ask me this game is more than an adventure. I can't wait for the next Star Wars game to be Released this Fall....if it's anything like this game I'm sure I'm in for another great ride!
Enjoy!
Amazing game play July 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is a great fun in a small pacage.. the star wars saga is great, but if you play the six episodes strait forward it only covers the 40% of the game!!! So every corner of it its a place for discover new thing, you had to come back to the missions and do it again with another caracther.. so the experience is expanded..
great game..
Fun, addictive, challenging July 10, 2008
This game is fun and slightly addictive. I think this is a great buy whether you are 12 or 42 y.o. I recommend downloading some cheats if you are not a regular "gamer".
