Does have Wii Lightsaber control!

When I read an earlier review that said the game didn't use the Wii remote as a lightsaber I was disappointed and decided not to buy the game. However, we rented it a couple days ago and I was both surprised and very happy to find that you can swing the Wii remote and the characters on screen swing their lightsabers. You can also control the lightsaber by pressing the "B" button, which sometimes is easier.

In a way I'm happy you don't have to try and aim the Wii remote to shoot the blasters because I find pointing the Wii remote at an object on the screen to be the most challenging aspect of using the Wii remote.

Overall, this is a very fun game that I can play with my son, and even though we already have earlier versions of all episodes, I'm considering buying this one for the Wii after we return the rental one.

May the Force be with you!

All the fun of Star Wars LEGO I & II. and INDY too!!!!!

If you haven't played the original Star Wars LEGOs series (based on the Episodes I-III and IV-VI.) YOU WILL LOVE IT! Whether you just love LEGOs, Star Wars or if you're a fan of both, it is sheer fun!. The settings are either terrific cartoon replicas of the lego sets or the movie ones. The sound and music FX is spot on and the story links are consistently funny tributes to both franchises. I find the animators' ability to retell Lucas' stories without ANY dialogue from ANY characters, remarkable. The game contains multiple chapters and subchapters easily breaking the movies into neat saving checkpoints, collecting LEGO studs for purchasing characters, extra features and special abilities. The replay options are large thanks to "Story Play" modes which unlock the chapters for later "Free Play" modes in which you can return to the adventures as the characters of your choosing or making with the "mix-n-matcher" in the Cantina.

If you have played the original Star Wars LEGO series before, "The Complete Saga" is even worth replacing your copies the earlier separate releases. The Wii remote play is pretty cool, if somewhat limited. The only disappointment was discovering the "building" control motions didn't make it into game play (check-out the controller instructions booklet for more). There are more secrets and levels to make it interesting for LEGO vets.

The most notable treat that, in my humble opinion, makes the game easily worth it's price is hidden in the bonus room: a game trailer for LEGO INDIANA JONES and it unlocks the INDY character for Star Wars Free Play! I can't wait for the Summer release!

A Must Buy

This is one of the best wii games( at least out of the 19 wii games that we have.) We had the play station version, compared to that this one is out of the world! Full use of wii remote; controllers are lot easier and fun to use. There are lots of fun bonus feature too. You get to play as Indiana Jones!! (Can't wait for that game to come out in wii.) We say this game is an absolute buy!!!

Fun to play

I've already owned and played the PC and the Gamecube versions. The Gamecube version was very buggy and frustrating to play due to that fact. This new version really is superior to the other versions. They've made just enough changes to make it interesting, even if you've already played the older version. The Mos Espa podrace and Gunship Cavalry levels are greatly enhanced. My only minor complaint is they didn't really make great use out of the Wii remote's features. I find the game more fun to play just using the regular buttons.

Cute and fun game

I'm not much of a video game player but I love the Lego Starwars games and it's wonderful on the Wii. I've played Lego Starwars on the PC, PS2 and the Wii. The Wii is the best version. The controls are simple to learn and the game (especially with the cutscenes) is so cute! Also the improvements they have made since the Playstation versions are really good- especially the podracing level. Podracing was extremely frustrating for me on the PS2 but easy and fun on the Wii.

To put this review in context, I also love Elebits and Legend of Zelda, to give you a sense of what video games I like. I find games like GTA, Gears of War and Bioshock to be good-looking games with interesting stories, but I am not skilled enough to use the controller well. I just end up being frustrated and bored when I die within 5 minutes because I can't both aim and move at the same time. Pathetic, I know. I just don't play video games enough to learn how to be more skilled. I am slowly learning to play Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, and it is MUCH easier on the Wii than on the PS2. RE4 is a very good game, if you have a fraction more skill than I do (which is probably everyone) I recommend you try it out! But I have less incentive to keep playing RE4 when Lego Starwars is both easier and much more fun, so my learning curve will be very slow.

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!!

Sci-fi fun for families

This is the first Lego Star Wars game I've ever owned, and I'm glad to discover that it's a perfect family game for the family-oriented Wii. The movies are retold in cartoonish pantomime with Lego bits, so the most offensive thing you'll find are Lego characters blown into plastic pieces. Giving players unlimited lives makes the game extra tolerant for younger (or less experienced) players, and the ability for a second player to join in or opt out at any time is a boon for parents whose playtime might get unexpected interruptions. The controls are simple enough that a child of five or six can learn them after a few minutes. The Wii's motion-sensing features aren't critical to playing the game, but there is a visceral thrill in waving the remote to use a light saber instead of pressing a button.

As for the game itself, not only do you get to play all six episodes from the movies, but each level has lots of hidden bonuses and challenges for older gamers who want to get higher scores. Other players will also enjoy making their own characters and replaying the levels with their creation -- having Darth Leia-3PO Maul wandering around Mos Eisley fighting alongside a Disco-wig-wearing Stormtrooper is sure to make kids and geeks alike giggle.

It's funny, it's friendly, and it's loaded with extras galore. The Force is strong with this one.

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.

love it

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!

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.
