 Does have Wii Lightsaber control! December 2, 2007

When I read an earlier review that said the game didn't use the Wii remote as a lightsaber I was disappointed and decided not to buy the game. However, we rented it a couple days ago and I was both surprised and very happy to find that you can swing the Wii remote and the characters on screen swing their lightsabers. You can also control the lightsaber by pressing the "B" button, which sometimes is easier.
In a way I'm happy you don't have to try and aim the Wii remote to shoot the blasters because I find pointing the Wii remote at an object on the screen to be the most challenging aspect of using the Wii remote.
Overall, this is a very fun game that I can play with my son, and even though we already have earlier versions of all episodes, I'm considering buying this one for the Wii after we return the rental one.
May the Force be with you!
 Disappointing: Where's the Wii Lightsaber Mode? November 12, 2007

As one who played this game on Xbox and Playstation2, I jumped all over the pre-order on this when it was announced, because I expected it to actually take advantage of the Wii features, as promised. Unfortunately, it doesn't at all. With the Wii, one expects to use the Wiimote as a lightsaber and as a blaster, with full motion control. But what you actually get is merely having to use both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk to have access to all of the buttons.
Sure, there are additional characters and scenes in this version, and the graphics are pretty good for the Wii. But what's the advantage to having full motion control if you're not going to use it?
What a disappointment!
All the fun of Star Wars LEGO I & II. and INDY too!!!!! November 19, 2007

If you haven't played the original Star Wars LEGOs series (based on the Episodes I-III and IV-VI.) YOU WILL LOVE IT! Whether you just love LEGOs, Star Wars or if you're a fan of both, it is sheer fun!. The settings are either terrific cartoon replicas of the lego sets or the movie ones. The sound and music FX is spot on and the story links are consistently funny tributes to both franchises. I find the animators' ability to retell Lucas' stories without ANY dialogue from ANY characters, remarkable. The game contains multiple chapters and subchapters easily breaking the movies into neat saving checkpoints, collecting LEGO studs for purchasing characters, extra features and special abilities. The replay options are large thanks to "Story Play" modes which unlock the chapters for later "Free Play" modes in which you can return to the adventures as the characters of your choosing or making with the "mix-n-matcher" in the Cantina.
If you have played the original Star Wars LEGO series before, "The Complete Saga" is even worth replacing your copies the earlier separate releases. The Wii remote play is pretty cool, if somewhat limited. The only disappointment was discovering the "building" control motions didn't make it into game play (check-out the controller instructions booklet for more). There are more secrets and levels to make it interesting for LEGO vets.
The most notable treat that, in my humble opinion, makes the game easily worth it's price is hidden in the bonus room: a game trailer for LEGO INDIANA JONES and it unlocks the INDY character for Star Wars Free Play! I can't wait for the Summer release!
Don't bother if you own the other two Lego Star Wars games already November 9, 2007

Well, if you already own the Lego Star Wars I and II (probably from your old gamecube, since they didn't come out on Wii), I wouldn't bother getting this game. There are a few additional characters, some bonus levels, but basically this is a re-sell of the other disks. The only significant difference is that you use a Wiimote and nunchuk to control the action, not the classic button controller.

Im going to go against the flow here, and give this game only two stars. I read all the reviews before I made my purchase and started out with high hopes, but i have to say i was disapointed. The gameplay is just well, uh,, boring. Yeah they have like fourzillion mock lego characters to unlock- but after i breezed through the first three "episodes" in one day( no thats not including 100% of the bonus content, i often found myself wondering why im i playing this game? The sell is for starwars and lego fans alike who are in it for the nostalgia. Maybe it was just me but spending most of the level running around in circles trying to collect the stupid coins that drop from every object you touch simply wasnt an injoyable time. Decidely it is geared for very young gamers, but before you shell out the hefty price for the game give it a rental try out first and decide for yourself. I for one was let down.
Gamer since 1988.
