First released in 2005, Lego Star Wars is the best example of a videogame that will appeal to gamers of all ages and genres.
The original LEGO Star Wars game chronicled the first three episodes of George Lucas’ popular science-fiction trilogy from the perspective of the popular Danish building blocks. Followed by “Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy”, the series revolutionized pop culture forever. (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi), LEGO Star Wars II follows the Rebel Alliance’s battle to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild the galaxy. From Darth Vader’s pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the reconstructed Death Star.
Both Games (Lego Star Wars & Lego Star Wars: The original Trilogy) and additional new content are now available in one box as Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga lets up to two players participate in the game at once. The second player can drop-in or drop-out at any given time during gameplay. Players are encouraged to utilize team-based tactics with a variety of multi-character parties. Prominent moments from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith serve as the game’s backdrop for storytelling, while favorite personalities such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Jango Fett can be manipulated to advance progress.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga also marks the first time the game is available on the Nintendo Wii. No doubt – the motion sensing Wii-mote makes for a great Lightsaber. However, players (young and old) looking for precise Lightsaber controls based how they hold and swing the Wii – Remote will be disappointed. The characters can “only” perform 4 different pre-set attacks in addition to blocking.
Players who already played thru both Lego Star Wars games will find a good amount of new content, however we don’t feel that it is enough to justify buying the game.
For families new to Lego Star Wars – THIS IS A MUST HAVE. Period.
