Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-06-13      Star Wars fun! While I am a huge Star Wars fan ( at least ep IV-VI ), I thought that this game was going to be a dumb kids game. I am 40 years old playing a Legos game, but I have to admit I was really surprised. This game has some silly humor in it, but the game play was solid and it captured the spirit of the movies very well.
The free play and timed challenge modes improve the replay value, and give it a ton of playtime. I am at 80% completion and have almost 40 hours in. There are a ton of unlockable characters and cheats, and plenty of things to collect in the game.
The graphics are solid for a PSP game. It has good sound effects and the music is exactly what you would expect. The controls are pretty straight forward and responsive.
This is game well worth buying, and was a lot more fun than I expected. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-04      EXCELLENT GAME FOR KIDS.... MY SON IS VERY HAPPY WITH THIS LEGO STAR WARS GAME.
IS A EXCELLENT GAME AND THE PRICE IS VERY GOOD.
RECOMENDED TO ALL. |  | Reviewed on 2008-04-16      Great fun for all ages. You might think this is a kids game (and indeed, I bought it so my kids would have something to play on my PSP), but its great fun for all ages, thanks to a witty element that affectionately pokes fun at the Star Wars we all know and love.
When you shoot (or slap) Stormtroopers they fall to (lego) bits, the facial expressions are not always the same. Princess Leila scowl is wonderful. The short Darth Vader is a funny, too.
The game is not overly simple, either, requiring you to work out the next steps, which may require different actions (building controls, switching characters, getting across gaps, disassembling baddies), but equally (even on the PSP) it's easy to control and never frustrating.
I guess if you hate Star Wars on principle, you might not enjoy this gun, but I doubt even that.
It's the only computer game I've ever played that makes me chuckle as I play it.
... and, yes, the kids love it, too! |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-28      Bringing together Legos and Star Wars makes for a brilliant experience. One way to guarantee the appeal of a video game franchise that you are planning on launching is to combine multiple kinds of nostalgia that will recall the youth of the gamer. The entire Lego Star Wars series, and specifically "Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy", nailed the hammer on the head by combining two parts of Americana that every child who came of age in the late 70's through early 80's can identify with: Star Wars and Legos. The potential of such a combination is great and, fortunately, the result matches the potential.
It does not hurt that this game takes a very `tongue-in-cheek' approach to the Star Wars mythology. The cut scenes for each stage are hilarious Lego-style renditions of actual scenes from the original trilogy.
So, it goes without saying that this game places our heroes (and villains) as Lego characters in a universe with ships, buildings, forests, and vehicles all made out of Legos. The main objective has you completing six missions for each of the three Episodes which cover the storyline of each film.
Of course, like with a lot of video games these days, the main objective only makes up a small portion of the overall game play experience. After completing the regular missions, you have opportunities go back achieve other objectives like collecting `x' # of Lego studs (currency in this game), which will allow you to unlock other characters or vehicles. The Free Play mode allows you to use any of a number of characters to help you access areas and prizes you can get in regular mode. Then, there is the Challenge Mode, which you have to find 10 parts of the special `mini-kit' within a specified time (usually 10 minutes) to meet that objective.
The concern over the repetitiveness of playing the same missions over and over to get each new objective is unfounded. Aside from the expected few missions that can be troublesome, the different sorties feel like a new experience each time. It leads to a greater overall playing experience.
This is a strongly recommended game. I rate it at about 4.5 stars.
