There's humor and plenty of inside jokes and it's a great game for an inexperienced gamer. Most kids will be able to enjoy and play the game as well as adults. The only negative is that I can't play it for very long sessions because it can get a little boring. There must be something about the repetition that makes me sleepy. I paid full price for the game and it's well worth it. |  | Reviewed on 2008-07-02      breaking blocks has never been more fun Story:
It's Star Wars, what else can I say? Either you've seen the movies, played the games or seen one of the umpteen million clones. The one thing the game does do (with its tradmark humor) is it does explore some of the battles that are hinted at in the movie but never explored. Speaking of the humor in the game, the story is moved forward in silent (no talking) cut scenes that act out what happened in the story, usually with the characters doing something silly (where in the movie it was of course done seriously, proably with a annoying cg character and a lot of explosions)in a mini scene that summarizes what happened before and after the level. This paticular version combines the two previous seperate releases so you get the original movies and the prequel thingies, which means there is plenty material to explore and plenty of secrets to find. So take a look at this not just for kids take on the Star Wars universe and you may find yourself pleasantly suprised and maybe a little addicted.
-------
Game Play: Basic on the surface, run through the level bash anything that moves, but deep when the player starts trying to collect studs to fill the power meter, the power blocks and various other secrets that require the player to go back to the level and play through again with characters unlocked in later chapters. This game is also one of the rare one's that allow 2 player same xbox / same screen co-op so one can double the fun if they have someone else who wants to play.
Graphics: I'm not big on this so to me they are great, the levels are colorful and bright, stuff blows up real good and there is not much slow down. It may just be my TV but when there is a lot of action on the screen I can see the refresh line as the game / xbox tries to keep up.
Controls / Camera: The controls for this game are simple. One button attacks, one button jumps, one button uses whatever special ability a character uses. For the most part the characters do what the player tells them and rarely decides to jump into that pit of lava in front of him. I only had a problem with this in the level (return of the sith, pt 6) based around lava and you have to run and jump with the camera facing toward the characters so it's hard to see what is coming up. Speaking of the camera it's the usual fixed, occasionaly wonky deal but it is mostly servicable in this game.
m.a.c |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-26      Gaming nirvana Four words: the best game ever. This is the game that got me started playing with the xBox. Up to this point, I was a puzzle-game person (Peggle, JewelQuest, Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie and the like) and avoided most action games. Partly because I do get motion sick, and partly because I have the reflexes of a sloth. I've never been able to handle the action first-person shooter style games, but this one is different.
The camera angle, other than in a very few places, is such that I don't get motion sick and the fact that dying doesn't (usually) do anything bad but cost you money (until you're invincible) is great. It's a low-pressure game, and while a few of the situations can be a little frustrating (such as the jumping - at least until you get flying characters!) overall it's just good fun.
And long! This is a game where you get your money's worth, that's for sure. There are six episodes, each with six levels. In each level there are 4 objectives (True Jedi, Red Brick, Mini-kits, Blue Cannister Challenge), which require several play-throughs in different modes. There are also some bonus levels (Lego Town, New Lego Town, etc) and extra challenges (Jaba the Hutt's 'find the character' levels).
And last, but not least, you get the achievements - from the simple 'completed the level' to the fun 'let the wookie win' to the difficult 'complete a level without dying (and not being invincible)'.
The only thing I was disappointed in was what was built after all the gold bricks were acquired. It was a bit of a letdown, but barely puts a dent in the greatness of the game. This is the game that all future games will be measured against in my book. Cute, creative, fun, and simply amazing. Go play it today! Even if you're not an 'action game' sort of person. Really, you won't regret it. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-13      Fun Game! I bought this for my 9 year old daughter for her birthday and she absolutely loves it! We love playing this one together. There are comic moments that we both laugh at in the game. If you're a Star Wars fan and are looking for a game that anyone in the family can play, get this. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-11      Poor use of the Star Wars License First Off I am a big fan of Star Wars, and have always loved Legos. So how could I not love the idea of mixing Star Wars with Legos, right? WRONG! This game is horrible on so many levels!
First, I have to admit to being shocked that any grown adult would find this even remotely entertaining. And like I said, I love anything that has the stink of Star Wars on it.
The Good--
There are times when it is very funny seeing cutscenes done using Legos. Just imagine some of your favorite scenes of the Saga reenacted with Legos, often times these scenes are funny the first time through. There is a certain humor when a starship or a droid blows up, only to be blown into the Lego bits the toy would be made out of in real life.
There is a lot of variety in the characters
This should be both a pro and con. Yes, there are a lot of charcaters in the game, but they are all the same! Sure, there are dozens of heads and bodies you can put together but they end up fighting the same way. If they hold a blaster, they shoot at everything in the environment non stop. If they have a lightsaber they can swing away non-stop, and use a force push on bad guys. And droids move around opening doors and using things. That is it. Seriously.
The Bad--
The bad elements certainly outnumber the good. Even though it is the Star Wars universe, you aren't actually doing anything. Yes, the Legos reenact scenes from the movies. But it goes like this: If you are guiding Qui-Gon through the space port on Tatooine you see many alien and droid legos walking by that are just there for flavor. Attack droids keep popping out of the wood work and all you do is run around slashing at everything. Most of the environments can be destroyed. When you destroy an item it breaks into little lego pieces which you pick up to earn things. So you run around destroying everyting in your way (by this I mean just rapidly smashing the attack button) and picking up the pieces. That is it. The game is mapped out with you running from point A to point B in each level smashing everything you can see. At first the novelty is fun and cute until you realize that is all it is: a novelty!
I am shocked at the number of people that seem to enjoy these games. I will admit they are good for little kids in the 5-10 yr range because it is something that will hold their interest and yet not be too difficult.
I am even more sadened to see that we now have Lego Indianna Jones and Lego Batman. What a marketing ploy.... |  |
