prequels and onto "proper" Star Wars. It may sound like one of the worst excesses of marketing hell but this is good enough to rejuvenate your love for both video games and Star Wars (and Lego)!The lowdown:As ridiculous as the idea sounds this is one of the few games that really can be played by all ages, from tots to grandparents the game even adjusts its difficultly level on the fly depending how well youre doing. The graphics are absolutely hilarious as the game pokes gentle fun at all the films and characters and uses the Lego motif so you can build new structures and objects as you go. With more playable characters than ever each now has their own special move, such as Chewbaccas ability to pull the arms off Stormtroopers, and you can get in and out of vehicles whenever you want in some levels.Most exciting moment:The game features a large number of vehicles to drive, including landspeeders and AT-STs. You can also ride a Dewback which excretes an ominous looking brown Lego stud if you press a button...Since you ask:The all important two player co-op mode from the first game is still in the sequel, plus you can now design your own characters out of component Lego pieces.

OMG what happened to Star Wars
Advantages: Fun filled non-stop lego action Disadvantages: Annoying camera placement
...idea to cross gaming with Lego deserves a medal, even after years of the franchise expanding with the latest release being Lego Batman, the games still remain fresh, witty and original for people of all ages to play.
-----The Story-----
I'm going to assume now that everyone reading this has heard of Star Wars, and if you haven't, what have you been doing for the last 10 years and go down to your local store and rent ... ...simply fall apart (you are lego after all) lose a few thousand points then are rebuilt and straight back in the action.
Not really much else you can say about the gameplay. The game doesn't use a complex game engine or physics engine and everything is rather simple to use, which is great considering the target audience is young children.

Which ever man at the Lucas Arts studio that came up with the idea to cross gaming with Lego deserves a medal, even after years of the franchise expanding with the latest release being Lego Batman, the games still remain fresh, witty and original for people of all ages to play.
-----The Story-----
I'm going to assume now that everyone reading this has heard of Star Wars, and if you haven't, what have you been doing for the last 10 years and go down to your local store and rent it. The game follows the storyline of the first three films very closely but has to throw in the occasional battle and enemy in places where none appeared in the films just to keep it interesting and enjoyable, now when I say the first three films, I mean the three that were released first i.e. episodes 4, 5 and 6 I would remind you of the story but that would take an awful lot of time and space and probably be riddled with mistakes. So onwards with the review:
-----Game play-----
The controls are relatively simple, A is to jump, B attacks, X uses your ability (which changes depending on the character in play). The camera is a minor annoyance however. It is positioned up in the air behind the character but does not rotate as you do and in co-op mode (which is drop in and out, meaning you don't have to go through menus to let another player in the game) the camera will only stretch so far between both players, which share a screen meaning the camera can often get stuck behind objects and players can end up off the screen hindering the gaming experience.
The game is also based around lots of puzzles, and working your way through the levels there are enemies but these serve as more of a distraction to stop you getting bored rather than things that have to be carefully taken out with skill, after all if you die, you simply fall apart (you are lego after all) lose a few thousand points then are rebuilt and straight back in the action. Not really much else you can say about the gameplay. The game doesn't use a complex game engine or physics engine and everything is rather simple to use, which is great considering the target audience is young children.
-----Graphics------
Well it's Lego? It's bright, it's colourful, it's heart warming and when enemies die they don't explode in a splatter of Hi-def blood, their lego pieces simply fall apart. After so many years of seeing games advance in lighting and visuals, its nice to see one game go back to it's roots and make a game that doesn't care about what it looks like and is simply fun to play, of course great visuals and fun to play would of been better but then that would remove the Lego and therefore the fun so a bit of a conundrum.
-----Sounds-----
The audio is very good. It is all based on the traditional Star Wars music and when playing you really get immersed in the whole feel of the game and the atmosphere it is trying to create. The sound effects are fairly average for this type of game but the voice acting is incredibly, well wrong word really as there is no spoken dialogue in the game what so ever. All cut-scenes consist of overly dramatic Lego figurines trying to convey emotions through facial expressions and murmuring and it surprisingly works really well and you will be surprised yourself how easily you know what's going on.
-----Pros-----
Hilarious cut-scenes that follow the storyline perfectly. Massive variety of characters to play as in free mode. Loads of Extras to find and explore for several play throughs Finally get to wield the powers of the force in all its glory (well sort of).
-----Cons-----
Annoying camera. Relatively short. Aimed at kids (or people like me)
Advantages: great fun, easy game play, suitable for all ages Disadvantages: none
...You build things from lego to use as you go along the storylines, the graphics are quite good and has a good appeal as well. I actually quite like the game as well and play it quite often, and I'm not really into video games, but this one has got me a bit hooked!
You can also select what characters you want to play as as you win more levels, so you can be chewbacca, luke skywalker or even one of the baddies as you go along!
Great for kids as it ...

Advantages: Good graphics, drop in/drop out gameplay Disadvantages: no online play
Lego Star Wars 2 the original trilogy, is the sequel to the bestselling game from lucasarts. As the title suggests you can now play through the original trilogy with all your favourite characters. Story: You start off in mos eisley cantina, which will sort of be your base of operations, allowing you to access any unlocked missions create characters and more. Obviously many people will be familiar with the star wars story so I won't go into to much ... ...gameplay is very good in Lego Star Wars 2 and I think it will appeal to all age ranges. There are literally hundreds of characters to be ( and you can download more from xbox marketplace). When you first start out though you wil have a limited amount of character choices and when playing in story mode you will only get characters specific to the scene. Once you've played a mission though, you can do it again in freeplay and choose which characters ...

Advantages: Easy play for youngsters, loads of action and puzzle solving Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit too easy for adults, but still lots of fun
...year old. This Star Wars Lego game is perfect - I have found alot of the other 3+ age group X-box 360 games are still too difficult for a younger child to play without constant adult help -although the content is suitable for 3+ the controls are too complicated, or the game play to much for them to understand. This Lego game however, has very easy intuitive controls, so the kids don't get bored or frustated because they can't get any further, there ...

Advantages: Lots of things to do, and miniture star wars characters!! Disadvantages: childish and unchallenging.
...attract people older than me! Lego star wars is a very simple game where you get to play a scene from any part of any of the original Star Wars films (4, 5 and 6), and run around hacking and slashing away with your lightsaber or blasting your laser gun. It features many delightfully simple yet fun puzzles to solve, which makes them less boring to do. You can also collect little bits of lego to save up towards special characters and etcetera, like ... ...game has a suprising amount of stuff to keep you playing until you finish it all, and there are also lots of extra collectibles and missions so you don't finish it and think "what do i do now?" this is a very good game despite how stupid it may look! however i doubt you will want to play it if you are over 16, unless you are bored, and that's when you will start to find it really good. You can pick up and play this game even if you've never heard ...

Manufacturer's product description
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy takes the fun and endless customization of LEGO and combines it with the epic story, characters and action from the original Star Wars movies that revolutionized pop culture forever (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II follows the Rebel Alliance's crusade to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. Build and battle your way through your favorite film moments, from Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the second Death Star, as the game includes even more of the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humor that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim.
And much more new to offer, it still has. For the first time ever, characters can get in and out of vehicles, as well as ride creatures. You can also mix and match the body parts of more than 50 playable characters to create one of millions of possible LEGO Star Wars heroes. And on console and Windows platforms, a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock another 50-plus additional characters for Free Play - that's more than 100 total characters! Other exciting additions include free-roaming vehicle levels that are no longer on rails, the ability to switch ships at will in Free Play, cool new character-specific attacks and maneuvers, playable mini-kit vehicles, an optional adaptive difficulty mode and more.
Features:
Expands upon all of the fun and creativity that made the original LEGO Star Wars such a hit, this time set during the original three Star Wars films (Episodes IV, V, VI).
For the first time ever, build and ride vehicles (landspeeders, AT-STs, speeder bikes and more) and mount creatures (from the banthas of desert Tatooine to the tauntauns of frigid Hoth) through on-foot levels.
Now, all non-droid characters - not just those with the Force - have the power to build.
Unlock more than 50 playable characters, from cultural icons like Luke, Leia and Darth Vader to fan favorites such as Greedo, Jawas and Gamorrean guards.
Unlock up to 54 more playable characters with a game save from the original LEGO Star Wars (consoles/Windows).
Create unique playable characters like Yoda Kenobi, Lando Fortuna and millions more by mixing and matching the LEGO body parts of all playable characters.
In Free Play mode, experience the Original Trilogy in a new way by importing any character into land levels, or switch between vehicles at will in space levels. Make Darth Maul a hero of the Rebellion, or destroy the Death Star with a TIE fighter!
Character-specific attacks include Chewbacca pulling enemies' arms out of their sockets, Vader's Force choke, Leia's "slap" melee attack and many more.
Tongue-in-cheek humor presents the Original Trilogy in a manner only LEGO can put together, with comical reinterpretations of classic Star Wars scenes and elements.
Solve a greater variety of puzzles that encourage creative thinking through the use of teamwork and unique building situations only possible in a LEGO galaxy far, far away.
The adaptive difficulty option creates more challenging gameplay for Jedi Master gamers - the better you do, the tougher it gets.
Cooperative gameplay encourages teamwork in a fun way and features a revamped camera for an optimal gameplay experience.
The PSP version features wireless play for two-player co-operative and competitive gaming, with exclusive content unavailable anywhere else.
Play through completely different LEGO Star Wars II gaming experiences on Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance.
