Overview
I was ‘made’ to play on the Wii last night with my son, who had got stuck with “what to do next”… he went to bed at 8, and I finished playing around midnight!!! I’m not a big game player, but this is a really fun game to play, and despite my protestations about being too busy, cooking tea etc., I loved playing it.
The Game
You can either play this on your own, or as we did last night play two players working together, which is great with ‘smallish’ children.
You initially start off in the “Cantina” with a number of doors to go through, which eventually (after completion of the intro/training level) allows you to access each of the six Star wars episodes.
Each episode then has 6 levels to be completed firstly in story mode, after which you can play in free mode, or replay to beat your score. All of the episodes are from the movies, and the fantastically animated star wars Lego characters are beautifully created, and easily identifiable from the films. The ability to then be some of the more diverse (and evil) characters like Darth Maul in freeplay gives the game a real longevity.
The main aim of the game is to collect lego studs (money), which can be used to buy and develop new powers, characters and vehicles etc, although my son seemed more intent on a ‘dash-for-the-finish’ line…which caused a few heated ‘hang on a second’ conversations.
At the end of each level you can replay, or go back to the cantina and spend your hard earned money and then decide to carry on with that episode or jump to a different one.
The special missions that appear throughout the game, like smashing up lego city are really good fun, and I think one of the really good aspects of this game is the variation in the levels, including racing games, landspeeder chases, AT-AT fighting etc. Saying that, you don’t need to be a Star Wars guru to enjoy this game, and you don’t need superb reactions, or Wii skills!
Summary
This is a lovely game for children, as there is no blood and gore, and the animations make for a fun/safe feel.
Graphically, this game is superb, the music is straight from the movies and the gameplay is superb and keeps you coming back for more.
We had a really good interactive evening, and it was certainly better for the family than sitting watching Cbeebies!
I would recommend this game to any Wii owner – whether with or without kids!
Advantages: Great gameplay, puzzles and battles and a host of content from the Star Wars universe Disadvantages: Certain parts might be quite tricky for younger players
...storage crates groaning with mismatched Lego pieces and could quite happily wile away the hours building increasingly more complicated creations. I discovered Star Wars at a young age and for me the films will always be something special, a Saturday night film treat that conjures up a host of warm associations. The synergy of Star Wars films with Lego pieces sounds, frankly, a bit odd. I strongly suspect that most people had the same reaction when ... ...very involving. The use of Lego throughout (collecting different pieces/characters/outfits) plays strongly to the fanboy element typically associated with Star Wars and this is a game that will appeal as much to a 10 year old who'd never watched the films as it would a diehard fan who remembers the films from their original release and has spent the last 30 years collecting memorabilia! Players are given a chance to play through all of the Star Wars ...

Advantages: Great Playability Over And Over Again Disadvantages: Will Take Over Your Life For A While
I had played Lego Star Wars on my friends XBOX before, so i knew what I was getting when I purchased the game for my Wii. And I wasn't dissapointed at all.
It's such a fun, playable game - and often hard to turn off. It's also really cool what they have "made" out of lego in the game - a bit of a retro blast to the past for me!
In the game, the initial idea is that you play through all the Star Wars episodes (I to VI), with six levels in each episode ... ...collecting a set amount of lego "studs" (like money) to become a True Jedi, collecting 10 mini-kits to form a special lego vehicle, collecting red bricks (which give you different powers), and collecting blue mini-kits.
After you play each level, you are taken back to the "Mos Eisley" cantina, where you can spend the studs you have collected and interact on a basic level with other star wars characters. Studs can be spent on buying new characters, ...

Advantages: Depth of gameplay, good graphics, easy to control, good co operative play Disadvantages: No real consequences of being killed, AI companions are poor.
...had experience of Star Wars Lego (original trilogy) on PSP. It is everything that is good about both games (Original and Episode I-III) compacted into one whole saga. It is so indepth it will keep you busy for hours, at t he moment I've been playing it for about 20 hours (according to the timer in the game) and I'm not even half way through (even with completing episode (I-IV).
Tons of unlockable characters, objects and special levels all unlocked ... ...to build your own mini lego kits relating to each level (usually fighters and so on).
There IS a way to control a lightsaber by waving the wii remote, but its not as accurate as using A and B to block/swing at your enemies. The graphics are superb, the music adapts to your situation within a level and the co operative play is simple yet satisfying. Unfortunatley, the AI of your friends when all being computer controlled is sadly lacking and it is ...
