LEGO Star Wars

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I been playing this for around the last 15 years. I version I will mention about it for the Xbox 360. Pro's: + Very funny game with comedy from the silent film era (since the characters do not have voices) + Two players co-op modes for many hours of enjoyment with friends. + Very family friendly style of game + It's the Star Wars universe with Lego's both a great combination together + Lots of reply value if you would like to unlock all the game has to offer Con: - If your not into star wars or Lego games this one is not for you, but maybe you should give it a shot you just might enjoy it This is just a classic solid Xbox 360 game which I believe your family and you will enjoy. If you have a question please do not hesitate to use the Looking for specific info? just above the review section of the webpage. Hopefully you will receive an answer to your question. Thanks again for completing my quick review. Read more

This was a present for my 5 year old. I was worried whether or not the game-play would be easy enough for my 4 year old (now 5), but he loves it and begs me everyday to play the game with him. There is no dialog but the cut-scenes are fun and it's great playing through the saga in order. As soon as you play through one mission, you can go back with 'free play' and swap characters at will in-order-to get to places you couldn't before, so there is also a lot of replay-ability. 2 player max. I wish I could add a third player, and my only other complaint is that there is no training or guide at the beginning. Since we have never played a Lego game before it was confusing to start the game and we are just there walking around a cantina with no mission and no idea where to go or what to do. (you have to walk through doors to start episodes and missions). Read more

"Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is one of the best games to play just for the fun of it. We have this for both the XBox 360 and the Wii, and like the Xbox version better for the easier controls. This game allows you to move through the various Star Wars movies, completing tasks and advancing to bigger challenges... all as little Lego pieces. Little kids will like it because it is impossible to permanently die and older players will enjoy completing the missions. Not all characters can complete all of the tasks alone and will require figuring out which character is needed to be used on occasion. Also supports multi-player, which is great with younger players. This is a very fun game with a lot of replay value! Highly Recommended! CFH Read more

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. Overall, though, it's a great game. I'm not even a big Star Wars fan, but I can't imagine any Star Wars fan being without it. Read more

We’ve had fun with this game for the most part but on 4 different occasions now, we’ve had the game crash with a “disc is unreadable” message and lost progress. It’s great if you never want to finish the game and enjoy playing on free play mode the levels you are able to play Read more

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 being penalized about 2,000 studs (the game's currency) and being almost instantly respawned, with one level excepted (see below). This makes the game much more accessible to younger players and gamers with less-than-lightning-quick reflexes. The game also comes with a healthy dose of humor - the "I am your father" scene is PRICELESS, in my opinion. This humor is a big part of keeping the adults interested. Now, a few cons from the game. There are a few levels where you pilot vehicles full-time. The perspective is a bit weird, the screen is quite busy, and controls handle clumsily. On top of that, the game tends to turn you around at weird points. I was actually glad when I reached the end of these levels, because they are decidedly less fun to play than the character levels. Speaking of character levels, there's a lot of places where you can fall to your death, but many of them are not obvious until you hit them. Finally, the last part of Episode III inexplicably changes the "death" mechanic from an instant respawn to a checkpoint restart (even on co-op and even if the other person is still alive). This is incredibly frustrating, as the level requires the most precise timing of the game - it involves jumping between platforms that are sinking into lava. Those relatively minor annoyances aside, this is a fun game. Yeah, it's simplistic, but it's entertaining, and that's what video games are supposed to be. Read more
