I am a huge fan of the Star Wars movies, particularly the original trilogy. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this game, but I am really glad I purchased it. It's so much fun! I've enjoyed playing through each of the movies and seeing my favorite parts acted out by Lego people. My 5-year-old son also really enjoys it. He especially loves being a Jedi so he can use his "mind powers" on other characters.The only thing I've found a bit frustrating is that there are a few places in the game that you have to guess the objective. There isn't much instruction, but for the most part, this isn't a big deal because, overall, the game is not difficult. I very much appreciate the fact that you essentially cannot die in this game.

There isn't much instruction, but for the most part, this isn't a big deal because, overall, the game is not difficult. I very much appreciate the fact that you essentially cannot die in this game. When you lose all your hearts, your Lego character falls apart and loses some studs (which we call coins, in our house), then immediately reforms and gives you a chance to recapture those studs.The free play mode is a lot of fun because you can change to different characters while you are playing, which is not possible when you play in story mode. There are a lot of little extras throughout the game in addition to playing through the story, such as achieving true jedi status or collecting all the red bricks. There is also a feature called motion sensor that you can turn on or off that allows you to move ships by simply tilting the controller rather than using the joysticks. It's an interesting idea, but can be a bit too sensitive. I prefer not to use it,.

I, being a Star Wars fan, bought this in hope that it would be a fun and new take on Star Wars.After my boyfriend moved we needed a co-op game to spend time together. Syncing with other players sometimes takes a few seconds, but it was never too bad. Playing with him online was a load of fun, but I do think there is room for a few improvements. One problem was the camera angles. You and your partner must stay close together or it becomes hard to see due to the odd camera angles. I got used to that though. Another problem was that the levels I played online with him didn't save as my own game. Meaning that even though we played all the levels together, it only saved on his game since he was the host. When I went back to play solo I had to start from the beginning.

This being said, the puzzles take little brain power and after playing for about 2 hours at a time, it can get boring.Keeping this in mind, I found this game to still be a great source of entertainment. There are tons of characters to choose from with special abilities, which is fun to explore. Also, there are different games available and missions aside from the basic Star Wars story line.This game is very cute and creative and I love the funny little moments put in during the cut scenes. It's very cute!I think this game was worth the money and if you're looking for something fun and light to play this will definite.

If you like Lego and Star Wars, you can't go wrong here. Play through episodes I-VI by yourself or with a friend. You can drop in or out of another person's game at any time, which is nice. Fun to play with my 4-year-old. Only issue is the camera tries to keep both characters on screen at once. Patience is required if playing with a younger person that isn't quite as goal-oriented and just wants to explore every nook and cranny and jump around the levels. Parents need not worry, very family friendly with trademark Lego humor and sort of glosses over that whole Anakin-to-Vader transformation.Also plenty of replay value with bonus levels and extra goals to achieve when revisiting levels with different characters. After completing a level in story mode, you can revisit ... MoreIf you like Lego and Star Wars, you can't go wrong here. Play through episodes I-VI by yourself or with a friend.

After completing a level in story mode, you can revisit in free play mode with any characters you've unlocked. Beyond your primary character selection, the make up of the rest of your party seems random. The game also resets you to Jedi Master Qui Gon and Padawan Obi Wan every time you start. Despite the small hiccups, it is a very enjoyable experience overall.

The game Lego Star Wars is just what it sounds: a kid's take on the classic sci-fi series using Lego stand-ins instead of rendered people. As such, you should expect this game to be simplistic, childish and somewhat repetitive (it is, after all, listed as a family game). Once you realize this, the game is a blast.Each of the six episodes is divided into six parts. At first the player only has access to Episode I Part 1, but once that is beat Part 1 of each of the other five episodes is unlocked. Beating Part 1 in an episode gives you access to Part 2, beating Part 2 unlocks Part 3, and so on.Each part takes between 15 and 30 minutes to beat, on average, so you can actually accomplish something if you only have a limited amount of time.

The first play-through is always in "Story" mode, where your characters are pre-selected. Beating it on "Story" mode unlocks "Free Play," where you get to choose a roster of characters. This effectively doubles the length of the game, because a lot of the bonus items are unattainable in story mode (for example, an item might be located behind a door accessible only by a stormtrooper, but story mode is played using Obi-Wan and an R2 droid). Most of the bonus items are actually pretty decent. There is also a HUGE cast of characters, about half of which unlock as you play through the game and half available for purchase, but they fall into a half-dozen or so categories, so there is not much of a learning curve. "Death" in the game consists of bein.

Lego really does a great job with creating games around popular movie franchises. This game takes you through all the chapters of Star Wars and has it's own modified animations in between. Part of the charm of the Lego games is how they capture the personalities of each character in the game. One of the main drawbacks is that if two people are playing, they have to agree where they want to explore. There is no split screen. I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old. And they always want to go different directions, and no one wants to follow the other. Every now and then there is a level (usually a race) where I can't figure out what the object is, and I wish there was a hint button or something to tell you what you're supposed to do.

This is a great game for younger audiences. And for older audiences, my college roomates teased me when I first brought it home and then I didn't get to play it for several weeks because they were always playing it. I wonder if some of the puzzles might be a bit difficult for an audience of 10 year olds because they were kind of difficult for me to figure out at first but there is plenty of simple gameplay as well.There is a previous edition that only had the original star wars movies in them, this has all of them so if your going to buy lego star wars make sure your getting the complete saga. It's twice the game as the edition with just the original trilogy.This game was so much fun that I've also purchase lego indiana jones and I home to get the new lego star wars ... MoreThis is a great game for younger audiences.

Some of the newer lego games like lego harry potter allow for the screen to be split if one of the players wanders off on their own instead of requiring them to stay on the same screen the whole time. While being required to be on the same screen requires cooperation it can also cause trouble if one player is a little more skilled at the game and not very patient.

It's been quite some time since I've played a game that starts by dropping you off without any fancy tutorial or telling you exactly what to do; and I really like that. From the very beginning you start off in a cantina and just start playing around with the buttons and interacting with things. It gave me a nostalgic feeling of some games from SNES/PSX days. I never looked twice at the LEGO series games in the past as I didn't think they had much substance to them. I needed a fun game I could play with my 12 year old nephew though and I'm glad I bought this game! It's not geared much for storyline, but this is actually good since the focus is all on the gameplay which is very fun and interactive. You can destroy most objects(even your own allies) and it's always fun ... MoreIt's been quite some time since I've played a game that starts by dropping you off without any fancy tutorial or telling you exactly what to do; and I really like that.

You can destroy most objects(even your own allies) and it's always fun to build the different piles of legos you find throughout the levels. There is also a lot of re playability as you have to unlock other characters to get everything in each level. The stats for everything accomplished shows at every door to each level, a bit like Crash Bandicoot. It's also fun trying to unlock everything you can by buying extras at the shop. It may not be the most epic game out there, but for the price you really can't beat the value you get whether in single player or multiplayer. A must buy game!

This is a really fun game. My husband and I play co-op, which lets us play together (which is really helpful since I’m not very good at video games, and he is). Another good thing is that it’s difficult to lose, and you don’t really die. A con to this is that sometimes the game is a little too easy, but we haven’t been bored yet.Each level starts out with certain characters, and then you can re-play each level with different characters to achieve certain goals and access exclusive areas.The levels walk you through each movie, so if you like the movies, you’ll like the game. It might be a little hard to follow along the plotline if you’re not very familiar with the movies, but it wouldn’t affect gameplay.There isn’t any blood or gore (since it’s ... MoreThis is a really fun game.

It might be a little hard to follow along the plotline if you’re not very familiar with the movies, but it wouldn’t affect gameplay.There isn’t any blood or gore (since it’s Lego), so this would be a great game appropriate for kids. Also, since it’s basically impossible to lose or die, it won’t discourage anyone from playing.I will say that my husband likes Battlefront better, so if you’re more into shooter games, you might like Battlefront more. Lego Star Wars is pretty 2-dimensional and is more focused on solving puzzles and working together than mindlessly shooting drones.

I enjoy the humor that only Lego games based on old movies can approach, the antics or the ways in which the company that made this game approached the story is quite interesting as a whole. And the over all play and play ability for new gamers or small children is also a huge plus. It also helps that the game maintains the things we remember well giving us and small kids the star wars stories all over again. With lots of replay value because of very thing you may not of known the first time through, there is even some cleverly hidden secret area's. That honestly should only have one access point but some how if your really good at the game you can access it from the exit. Now that is putting one in the eyes of the developers for sure, as a whole I would rate the ... MoreI enjoy the humor that only Lego games based on old movies can approach, the antics or the ways in which the company that made this game approached the story is quite interesting as a whole.

And the fact that the game is 20 bucks makes it hard to beat for what it will do to keep the little ones quite.

I see many reviews of this game from parents who purchased the game for their children and how much the kids like it, as well as some who enjoy playing with their kids, which is great. As a 33 yr old without children, i am proud to say that this game will even appeal to grown adults who purchased it simply for themselves. It's actually one of the few games that my girlfriend will play with me, as we are both Star Wars fans (myself more so). Of course it's not going to provide the challenge that more hardcore games will, though there are some challenging parts, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga is an excellent, lighthearted Star Wars adventure with Lego pieces.

Covering the entire movie series, from Episodes I - VI, you can relive you favorite parts of the story with hilarious cut scenes. Each Episode is divided into "Chapters", all of which are accessed from the famous Cantina on Tatooine. There are a ton of things to do at the Cantina, which is like your home base. Unlocked characters (purchased with coins acquired during your adventure) wander around (and occasionally a brawl breaks out), there is a place to create your own character to use, spend your coins on new characters and ships, as well as hints, tricks, and bonus levels. There is also a location to view your ship models that are pieced together from various lego pieces hidden throughout each Chapter. Besides going through the Story Mode, there is Free Play mode, where, once you've completed the Story Mode, you c.
