My 7yr old daughter and husband are addicted!

My husband grew up loving star wars like most men his age. We purchased the Wii for his birthday and my daughter knew he loved star wars and picked this out at the store. I thought it would be a fun gag gift (it is legos after all) but it has been over a month and neither of them can stop playing it. It is super cute for kids (no blood - just popped off lego heads etc...) and she is learning all there is to know about Star Wars - my husband it so proud! You can change and be whomever you like and before and after you win each level there are scenes from the movies (replayed in lego land so not all accurate) that are very funny for kids and adults to watch. One scene, the lights go out on the ship and when they come back on Leia and Solo are kissing. When Leia realizes the lights are on, she smacks Solo in the face. It was hysterical. My husband will never admit it but he is more addicted to this game then any other game he has played on PS2 or Wii. Highly recommend!

Great game - it never gets tiring or redundant!

We play this game all the time and never get tired of it. There are 160 levels and lots of fun things to do. We even play with our 4 year old. He plays better than we do! Not too violent as it is only legos that are being broken we tell him...

Great game!

Wicked fun!!!

This is one of the best games I have ever played! The graphics are awesome and it's really easy to learn. I love the fact that everything looks like Legos! It really takes me back to childhood. Fun for all ages!

This is the BEST game for my kids!

The Lego Star Wars Wii game is the best game for my 7, 5 and 3.5 year olds. (girl, boy, boy respectively) My husband, myself and the kids have logged in more than 150 hours since Christmas of 2007. The kids are challenged by the puzzles presented at each scenario. I love the fact that the kids are using a controller in BOTH hands to move the characters. This means that they are required to engage BOTH sides of their brain in a unique fashion. I also love the fact that there is no blood or guts of gore...just legos being shattered. Come on, I believe there is something inherently satisfying about wrecking a nicely stacked structure of legos AND getting points for it :) ...something that would have involved a time out during your daycare days. We love the game and look forward to Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman!

My kids would rather play this game than watch the movies!

Being a huge Star Wars fan myself, my kids were already well aware of the Star Wars movies. As a family, we have enjoyed many great movie nights that included Star Wars! So it was not a big surprise how excited they were to try out Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for Wii. I must say I have found this game much more fun that I thought it would be. It is truly a well done, fun game for the entire family. Now instead of my kids bugging me about watching the Star Wars movies, they ask to play "Star Wars Wii!!!"

So fun!

I have really been enjoying this game. There are lots of areas to explore, so you can play boards over and over for fun. It's not too difficult, but a decent challenge. Also, the 2 player is really fun. You and your friend will both need both the wiimote and the nunchuck to really appreciate the game and be able to do everything. I highly recommend it!

3.5; family fun across the universe

For the most part, a lot of games on the Wii kind of turn me off. Not that they are bad mind you; some are outright fantastic (Metroid Prime 3, Zelda, Mario Galaxy) but a lot of them are either family/kid-oriented, using the controller in a gimmicky-"aint-this-neat" way or they're just ports of other games with Wii controls. But now and then one will surprise you and while it might not be buy-worthy - unless you have kids in which they'll have loads of fun with this - Lego Star Wars is a game that's quite fun although it does run into a few flaws.

Story: The selling point is that you can replay the entire Star Wars saga in game form, starting with the Phantom Menace right till the end with Return of the Jedi. Some faithfully recreate moments from the films, including camera angles at times, while in others it changes it in a quirky way (example, in Episode I where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan ambush the droids on Naboo, instead of both fighting them, Qui-Gon does the work while Obi-Wan's lightsaber malfunctions, complete with a facepalming Qui-Gon).

Graphics: This ain't Mario Galaxy or even the Umbrella Chronicles but the graphics here are quite charming since everything's done entirely in legos (obviously) so it's a very inviting and kid-friendly atmosphere. In 480p, there's not a lot of super impressive effects save for the lightsaber glow but everything looks shinier.

Sound/Music: No real voice acting to speak of save Metroid-style grunts and yells from various characters but the music of course faithfully recreates the film's soundtracks. My one problem, strangely is that the volume seemed kind of low and it didn't really knock me on my you-know-what. I loved playing Knights of the Old Republic because the sound really made the experience epic while here the music should've been brought up more.

Gameplay: Platform-style through various levels with a couple of vehicle-based missions (the podrace in Episode I for instance). The stages are filled to the brim with things to "force" which'll yield money, things you can build/destroy or activate. You travel with a pack that can range from small characters who can travel small spaces, R2-D2 who can hover for a short time or others that can hookshot up onto a ledge. My one complaint is that at times you'll find yourself unsure of where to go and it's only through either trial-and-error or just accidentally stumbling on it that you'll know where to go.

What makes the game's replay value through the roof is with the money and level collectibles that can be found. If you ever love 100%-ing a game like the Grand Theft Autos or Metroids, you'll be busy with this as not only are there is characters to unlock and things to buy but a percentage rating for each stage. What might bug people of the games is that aside from the combination of both trilogies, nothing really substantial has been added. While it's more neater to have lightsaber sounds come out of the Wii-mote (which by the way can be used for lightsaber action but it's not direction-specific. ie swing up, characters swings up etc, it's just an ordinary swipe), it's basically the same thing but for those, like me, who have never played a Lego Star Wars game before, this is the one to get.

Small kids will find a lot to like with this one as not only is it Star Wars but there's just so much to do and it's all in Legos so big plus there. Adults will find it fun but it's not really deep involving gameplay, it's just enjoyable to play.

software freezes Wii.

Two seperate copies of this software froze my Wii. Either i got unlucky or the software stinks

A mixed bag

This game is cool - the sound effects and storyline are great for Star Wars afficionados. However they do not take advantage of the Wii's controllers at all. One may as well be playing on some other platform, which is really disappointing. This game could have been so much better if they'd used some motion control.

Kids love it.

Highly recommendable for kids who like Star Wars.
I bought this game for my 6 and 8 year old boys. Despite the fact that its ratings weren't as good as for example Super Mario Galaxy, and indeed technically/objectively it isn't as good, this is still the game the kids prefer to play all the time. I had hoped that the Wii remotes would be used as light sabers but that's not the case ; perhaps a next release ?
