5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Lego Star Wars games??? Yeah thats's right and it's great!A little to easy to beat, but a good game anyways. I unlocked every character and every special feature, including the extra level.This game along with the two Battle Front games are the best Star Wars games there is.(maybe 3 of the best games there are)Great game sticks to the story original story line and has great music straight from the movie.Great Game!!

Ok, so I myself am a LONGTIME gamer who is also a parent to a 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl. I enjoy complicated strategic types of games.
My wife and I purchased this game for my 3-year old son this past Christmas. I figured it would be a safe bet because it's age appropriate, has an easy control configuration, and good/cute graphics. Well I was absolutely right!
You can play two players simultaneously. While some aspects of the game play are frustrating. (The main one being that if one player is going one way on the screen while the other is trying to go another it's like playing a game of "tug of war") But none the less, the fun of the game far outweighs that slight issue.
My son has been playing the game for 4 days now and has mastered the control interface. Keep in mind, my son is only 3 years old and when I came home last night he had completed two levels on his own. (Though my son is sharp, he isn't a video game genius so I would expect a child of this age to be able to comprehend at the same level)
So now that you know this game is playable by a 3-year old, I must also tell you that I enjoy playing it myself and I am 30. Again, I tend to go for the more complicated / strategic games such as the Splinter Cell series, Ghost Recons, and such Lego Star Wars is very fun. Though my 3 year old can muddle through levels on his own, there are other tasks you have to accomplish to unlock other parts of the game. Some level areas are too difficult for my son to get through and I end up having to help him. But what's nice is that we can both play this game together and have a good time.
In summary, if you are looking for a good, age appropriate game that both yourself and your child can play, then Lego Star Wars is the ticket.
Two Games in One April 20, 2005

LEGO Star Wars is really two games in one, Story Mode and Free Play.
Story Mode
In Story Mode it's a platformer that is fairly easy. Like most platformers you jump around and collect coins, in this case LEGO "studs" that you can use to upgrade your characters (buying items that range from mustaches to invinsibility) and buy additional characters. You also collect canisters. There are 10 in each level.
You also fight the bad guys. It is fairly easy because when you die you are brought back to life instantly in the same place where you died. There are a couple of exceptions, like the pod race or the assault on starships, where you are in a vehicle and when you die you start over at a pervious "save" point. There are a few combo moves you can use, but the controls and simple and easy.
Free Play
Free Play allows you to go back to a level you already won in Story Mode and play using other characters. You need to do this if you want to find all the hidden canisters. Finding the canisters makes Free Play more like an Adventure/Puzzle game. This is because, in addition to running around and blasting/exploring every nook and cranny of the level to find the canisters, you have to figure out which characters to use. Each character has its own special ability. So you have to figure out which set of characters to use to get each canister.
For example, some canisters are locked in rooms that only certain droids can access. Others are placed on high platforms that only charaters who can jump extra high can access. (Jar-Jar Binks can jump extra high so you'll want him along most of the time. I didn't care for Jar-Jar in the movies, but he's great in the game.)
I found Free Play harder than Story Mode because some of those canisters are pretty well hidden or you can see them but it takes some thinking and exploring to discover how to get to them.
The multiplayer is fun but requires a lot of cooperation. Because you can't control the camera you have to work togehter when you move around the different levels. And sometimes your partner has to "drop out" so you can get somewhere, then "drop in" again to resume. I don't think that is a flaw, just an added layer of gameplay.
The graphics are very good. It's fun to see all the characters from Star Wars done up like LEGOs. And you get to play all three of the prequel movies!
Overall it's a very fun game. If you like platformers, adventure/puzzle games or Star Wars I think you'll enjoy it. If you don't like platformers then you'll probably want to pass on this one.

This is probably the best Stars Wars game made. As far as i'm concerened, any Stars WArs game where you get to use a lightsaber is the best (there are enough games with blasters). When you turn on the game you start out in Dexters Diner, a place where you chose your level and buy characters. You get to play through episodes 1,2 and 3.
WHats good is that if you haven't seen episode 3, the game doesn't spoil that much, it gives you enouggh info so that you know what you're doing in the game, but not enough to spoil the movie. While you are travelling through the star wars universes, you collect LEGO studs, the currency of the game. At dexters diner, you can buy characters with them. YOu can also buy hints and extras, but I think they are a waste of studs. After you collected enough characters from the light side and dark side, you can go out to ddexters parking lot to wacth and join unorganized fights. They are a little easy but fun. When you collect suds you're jedi meter fills up and if you fill it up to the top you will get a piece of a special ship. TO complete fill the jedi meter in every level. You also collectt mini kit parts which you can use to make ships to put in the parking lot. If you get every ship you will unlock the games ultimate secret (sorry i don't know what it is). A good way to collect studs is to get all the mini kit pieces in a level, which will give you about 50,000 studs. Try to complete the ones in boss levels because they are small levels and pieces are easy to find.

I bought this game for my 9 yr old and 6 yr old. They love it and have a great time re-enacting the different movies through the lego action figures of the game. My 6 yr old has a little bit of a hard time playing but with his brother's help he's getting it. I like this game because 2 people can play at once together, this in my household elliminates fighting over the controllers and taking turns.
