My children (7 & 5) received a Wii from Santa this year. :-)

Santa gave them Super Mario Galaxy which is a great game... but the problem is it's a bit too hard for them at this point.

Enter Star Wars... OMG! My 5 year old son LOVES this game. It's still a little advanced for him but just running around with a light saber and killing robots is so much fun for him he LOVES it!

Best part... when you character "dies" (which means all his little lego parts fall apart) he comes right back to life. There are no "you only have 2 lives left" issues so he continues to have a blast! Now, he doesn't score many "Jedi" points because of this but he doesn't care much about that anyway.

My daughter also enjoys it and because 2 player mode works well they can play at the same time.

Hands down this is the best Wii game we have so far (Super Mario Galaxy is good, Carnival Games sort of stinks... Star Wars is G-R-E-A-T!).

Enjoy fellow Jedi!

Great little kid game too... 5 & 6 year old first time gamers loved it!

The reviews here are excellent but I just wanted to add this for any parents of younger kids looking to buy a game that the adults can play too (especially those whose last video game system has asteroids or the original Donkey Kong- you know who you are). This is it- $50 is a lot to pay for the under 8 crowd and the Wii games, much less the Lego Star Wars is never on sale. Our boys, 5 and 6, will spend hours (if they weren't stopped) playing with each other. It's simple enough that they can figure out how to move through the levels but complex enough that my husband and HiS brother (gen X) still spent hours playing. It teaches teamwork, problem solving, and is non-violent or crude. The lego guys just fall to pieces is a non-threatening entertaining sort of way when they are "killed" and the "money" collected are the stud (single) lego pieces. They also get Jedi points for making good (read ethical) decisions instead of whacking each other with light sabers every chance they get (won't allude to which team learned this the hard way).
The Lego Star Wars is also much more fun than the wii sports (included with the wii) or the wii play (the game you bought because all the rest of the additional controllers are sold out). It's also much more child friendly than most of the games made specifically for little kids (which no one else in your family will play).
Hope this help :)

GREAT GAME--MUST BUY

I love this game already after only 20 hours of playing it. The graphics are really good for LEGO and I love Star Wars and LEGO so a combination of both is perfect for me. I'm almost addicted to this game--it is my favorite physical possesion right now. This is a must buy--all you other kids out there, persuade your parents to buy this great game!!

Great Wii Co-Op Game! My 4 year old and 7 year old love it!

What I like about this game is its co-operative play mode. Many multi-player games on the consoles are battle-style games. In this one, you can work together to solve puzzles rather than against each other. But, that is a good thing and bad thing at the same time. Because even in the standard co-operative play mode, each player can attack the other player. This is my 4-year old's favorite "feature". So while I'm running around trying to solve puzzles and eliminate the bad guys, she's swinging her light-saber at me. I gotta watch my back when she's in the game with me! And its cartoon violence, nobody dies, your Star Wars character just falls into a pile of lego pieces. There are also fun features like hundreds of upgrades and 160 characters to choose from. One we stumbled on early in the game in the Cantina is a "hat" machine which lets you change what hat you are wearing for free. My kids visit that thing constantly. So you can take Obi Wan and put a Princess wig on her, or a baseball cap. I'd give the game 5 stars except we've had 2 situations where we've had the our characters "spawn" in separate parts of the scene, and due to bad camera control, we're unable to re-join. To get around this problem, we've had to make one of our characters leave the game, and then rejoin to correct the issue. I'm also disappointed that there are very few in-game voices (the Lego Characters don't speak their lines). Also - just to dispute an earlier comment posted on Amazon, the Wii remote DOES work as a light-saber!

This game is so much fun on Wii

Granted I am NOT a gamer, nor have I ever owned any other Lego Star Wars games on any other system. However, the Nintendo Wii and Lego Star Wars has got myself and all my friends hooked.

Great Action, Adventure Game, even for 7 year olds

We are recent Wii owners, and this is our first video game system as a family (I played some when I was a kid many many years ago). So, the gaming thing is very new for me, but that does not make a difference with this game - it is still accessible.
Although it is rated E10+, and I am careful about what my 7 year old should be exposed to, I think this one is great for him. Yes there is fighting, killing, etc., but there is no gore, blood, etc. (It's LEGO after all). It reminds me of a modern day, video version of what I did as a child - play cowboys.
I do love that it has levels of difficulty, but is very accessible. You can just go at it without a game guide and have a lot of fun, but for more depth and adventure, buy the "Prima Games" game guide to help out (I did).
My son and I have only played it for a week now, and are still in Episode 1, but there is so much to do and redo that I think it will take us months to get tired of the game.

Surprisingly fun for all ages!

I original bought this for my two 6yo boys as the game doesn't require much reading at all. So right off the bat, they could play without any adult hands-on coaching. The Wiimote (and nunchuck) really makes the experience unique to the Wiimote as it controls your lightsaber:-) There are 6 episodes (just like the movies) for 1 or 2 players to explore, with each episode having 6 chapters. The game play is sequential initially. But once you complete a chapter, you can go back using the "free play" mode and explore with any character you've "purchased". By "purchasing", I mean that during gameplay, there's opportunities to gather "studs"....similar to other games' coins. As you collect them, these become your Jedi points. As you gain more, you percentage of being a "True Jedi" increases. If you gather the required amount during a chapter, you'll become a "True Jedi". I think this enables you to unlock certain characters. Even if you don't reach that during a chapter, you can buy characters with those studs you've gathered. My boys have probably put in some 40 hours into this game and they still have well over 2/3 of the game left. They do have a few favorite chapters they like to go back to and tend to explore originally inaccessable areas with different characters that finally allow them to. One thing I forgot to mention is that they totally (me as well) love solving the puzzles...how to get from here to there which might require building things or pressing buttons in a certain order etc. I didn't start playing this right away, but once I saw how the game worked, I got hooked myself. The CGI is very good and the facial expressions of the characters during the trailers had me cracking up. The game is pretty much true to the movies that I highly recommend for children (even those that can't even read) as well as adults.

Excellent for all ages

Fun and easy to use for anyone over 5. Be sure you have two nunchucks, however, because full functionality depends on it.

Buy this great game; rarely one this good!

I've played Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Mario Party 8, TMNT, Happy Feet, and perhaps several more games I've forgotten, but LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is the best. I've played it on PS2 and Gamecube, but the Wii version is the easiest to play one. You can either slam the Wiimote or press the B button to attack, defend, or evade, and Nunchuk moving makes everything easier. The PodRace is more advanced and way easier than before, and this game has the never heard of high-speed pursuit of bounty hunter Zam Wesell. You can even unlock Indiana Jones and play him in Star Wars! He has a whip and pistol; only he shoots bullets, which makes it interesting. There are hundreds of characters to unlock and you can have fun killing your friends in Duel Mode or just while playing because you have unlimited lives. Duel Mode is new and you can't find it in earlier versions of LEGO Star Wars. Graphics are really good for Wii and you can find game codes everywhere.

Great Game

This is a great game. Some people was disappointed with the motion controls, but it is still a good game. You can swing the remote like a lightsaber, even through some reviews said you can't you. The biggest problem people had was the characters don't swing the way you swing. You swing left he swings left. You swing right he swings left. What you have to remember is that they still swing the way they did in the old games. You think of that you will enjoy the motion controls and the game.
