 Quite fun, great graphics!Jun 29, 2005
By Lisa Shea
"medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
I really thought this game looked silly at first - but once I got to playing it, it's amazingly fun! You get All Three new Episodes of the movies with this game!
The little lego guys are absolutely adorable, and when ships blow up, they disintegrate into their component lego parts. Lego fans will be thrilled to see little lego flowers, lego swinging doors, and much more.
The game is pretty true to the story line, which is funny in and of itself, watching the famous Star Wars scene done lego-style. You jump, shoot and light-saber your way through the scenes. You get to use a variety of characters, and each character of course has his or her own special talents.
There's a lot of coin-collecting, secret-finding and bad guy bashing. There's an optional two player mode which is great - someone else can grab a controller, play for a while, then drop out without any penalty at all. There's a regular story mode for going through the movie plotline, plus a free play where you can randomly switch between various players to solve some of the trickier puzzles.
There's a good deal of replayability as you go back searching for the treasures, and trying to unlock all of the cool extra features. This is really perfect for the munchkins, but adults may find themselves playing it after the little ones are asleep because it's actually rather fun.
I was impressed with the graphics too - the little legos walk as you might imagine they would, the floors shine with great reflections, the textures are just very nice. There isn't much sound besides the Star Wars themes going on in the background :)
I didn't have any problems with crashes at all, and if I ever do get bored with it, there's a line of people waiting to get it from me next.
Highly recommended!

Brick Together the Jedi Force!Apr 11, 2005
By Gob
This game is targeted at kids, but the first thing you'll discover upon playing it is adults will like it too. Yes it's easy, but it's still fun watching the little brick men do their thing Jedi style! Basically the game has the same kind of structures as The Simpsons: Hit and Run; you can play it to beat the level or you can play it to try and collect more points and bonus vechicles. The best feature on the game is by far the two player co-op mode. The game is easiest enough to beat without an extra person, but having one finding next to you is sure better than playing it alone. For the most part the game is loyal to the movies, although several scenes are missing.

This is not just a kids game! You will LOVE this game!May 31, 2005
By C. Starr
"Blake & Drew's Mommy"
This game is fun for the whole family. I figured at first that my little boy would be the only one to really play this game. My husband and I both thought it would be fun but we did'nt realize just how much fun until we are now hooked to playing it!!! The sounds of the light sabers are just like the real movie and the people all look just like real legos! The game is'nt very difficult but it holds your interest. There is over 30+ playable charaters to use. The game combines all 3 of the first movies in to one full game. I really like that about it, its like having 3 different games but for one price. There is tons of hidden things to find in this game. I highly recommend it for kids and adults!

 Fun and easy, but short.Apr 25, 2005
By dara chalice
Overall: Fun game, easy to play (there are unlimited lives and easy combat) and for others to join in. Neat concept; unfortunately, a bit short.
In more detail:
This game is too short. I've played through every level in the span of a rental and played the same levels repeatedly in order to find all of the minikit pieces and collect enough money to buy everything. The short length of the game is reason enough to recommend renting instead of buying at this time. Don't buy unless you are a Star Wars fanatic or don't mind spending $40 for a game you will finish in a few days. More likely than not, the price will come down quickly. So I plan to wait until it comes down closer to $20 before buying and recommend the same to others.
Cons: Too short. Can't skip through cut scenes (longer scenes get rather annoying after replaying levels); also it would be nice if the characters talked during the cut scenes, but Star Wars fans probably have most of the scenes memorized anyway. Multiplayer podracing is very frustrating since it is easy to confuse your vehicle with your friend's & one player can force the other off the screen or cause them to get stuck in a laser by moving too far ahead. The multiplayer should be splitscreen. It's too easy to cause your friend to get killed just by moving too far away, which can cause them to be pushed off ledges or be killed by unseen enemies. I got in way too many arguments with the people I played with because of it; apparently, I take gaming too seriously. When playing solo, the CGI can be a bit unhelpful as far as fighting enemies is concerned. Some of the characters do absolutely nothing.
Pros: Multiplayer does have a lot of potential for fun as long as players don't get too angry when they cause one another to die. It's really easy and easy for people (even inexperienced gamers) to pick up and join you. A second player can enter or leave the game at any time. Younger people should be able to play it easily as well; not only will they enjoy it, but there's no mature content or blood, so it is appropriate for all ages. If there's any reason an adult wouldn't like it as well, it's more likely to be b/c he or she doesn't enjoy platform games in general and not because of the game being aimed at children.
Also, there are a lot of extras you can buy (personally, the tea cups and the mustaches are the most entertaining) to make the game more interesting. If you become a Jedi Master in each level, you even unlock a fourth door marked with a question mark. I won't give it away, but the fourth door does allow you to unlock the last two characters available. The majority of the characters you can buy are cheap with a few exceptions (such as General Grievous who costs 200,000, but also happens to be one of the most awesome characters available)and money is easy to attain. Good soundtrack - very true to Star Wars. Load times are short. (And of course there is the appeal of everything being made out of LEGOS, which is just a nifty concept.)
I suggest playing through the story mode as quickly as possible and then playing through the same level in free mode at a slower rate since you aren't going to be able to access every part of the level in story mode anyway (certain places are only reached by certain characters). A ton of security guards are a lot less frustrating when you can disguise yourself as one in free mode and kill them without taking any damage.
As far as the characters go, they each do one (or sometimes more) of the following: use a light saber, use a blaster, jump high, crawl through vents, open doors, "fly", or grapple onto different ledges where there are red circles. This is why free mode is essential to fully exploring most levels. In free mode, you pick one character to be, but are given a group of others which you can flip through at any given time so that you have at least one character to serve each function.
My favorite character to play with is General Greivous because he has four light sabers, is fast, and jumps high. Yoda is also good to play with, but harder to control. I also like Darth Maul and Darth Sidious though they can't jump as high as the general or Yoda.

 For Kids AND adults!Dec 28, 2005
By M. Phillips
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.
