This is a great game IF...and that is a huge IF...you can get it to install on your particular machine without disk errors or about a million other things that have been reported wrong with this game and the protection software that installs with it. Just Google a Lego Star Wars II search and see the incredible amount of frustration people have had with not only the game but also the lack of support. They really blew it on this one. SAVE YOUR MONEY...you will not recoup your loss.

One Heck of alot of fun

A realy fun game and the best thing is it never stops. Tons of charecters such as Jar Jar, Mace Windu, Genral Grievous, Kit Fisto, and even clone troopers and battle droids. Thousands of things to unlock, fly ships, reanact epic lightsaber duels, or just hang out at Dex's Diner. Trust me this game will keep you addicted for days, weeks, months, and years.

I have a 5 year old son who just loves playing this game with me. It is a little difficult for the 5-7 age group to play alone if they aren't allowed lots of Xbox time like our children, but it is a great father son activity. We've had it since July 2005 and still haven't solved everything and that's using an invincible code I found online! I envision many more fun sessions and it's a good "carrot" for good grades too!!

I was very impressed with this game. I play it with my 6 year old and we have a great time. It is a very advanced game and has very advanced graphics. Be sure to have a quality computer with a quality video card in order to really play it well. I recommend it to all Star Wars / Lego Fans.

Great, Inoffensive Fun

I bought LEGO Star Wars after having played the demo. I've heard many stories about how the game only works on specific configurations of computers and lots of general badmouthing because of this. In reality, while it does have hefty graphical requirements, most mainstream video cards should be able to run it. If you take the time to download the demo and it works, then the full version will work also. I didn't have any problems with bad discs, either. So, apparently this problem has been fixed.

Now onto the review proper: this game is a ton of fun to play. It's not pretentious; it doesn't set itself up to be anything more than a Star Wars platform game for all ages. The LEGO-ized graphics capture the feel of the Star Wars universe surprisingly well and the muteness of the characters work because, after all, Star Wars is little more than a glorified silent-movie adventure serial. Plus, without voices, you can't get distracted by a voice actor that sounds nothing like Ewan McGregor or Natalie Portman. I challenge you to play through the Battle of Coruscant level in Episode III without feeling like you're watching the first part of the movie again.

Episode I boils The Phantom Menace down to all of its action scenes with none of the talky politics and very little Jar Jar Binks. It's like a "Best Of" for the first movie. The goal is to move through the episode's action sequences collecting LEGO studs. There are secret Mini-Kit pieces to find and if you collect a certain number of studs, you achieve "True Jedi" status and earn a piece of the super kit model.

Episode II concentrates mostly on the Geonosis section of Attack of the Clones. This is where the games rating gets dragged down a bit because that's not even half of the movie. Granted, there's not much action game to be gleaned from the teen angst love scenes on Naboo, but the Chase through Coruscant would have made a fine level or two. Still, what is there is competently done and fun as well.

Episode III contains spoilers for those who haven't played Revenge of the Sith. It begins with the Battle of Coruscant, which as I mentioned earlier is just an incredibly fun level with so much eye-candy, I'm going to have to play it several more times just to see all the things going on in the background. I'm still playing through this episode, but I've been through the first two levels and I just got through the opening sequence of the movie. In contrast, after the first two levels of Episode II, I was already in the execution arena scene of Attack of the Clones (the end of the movie).

The little secrets in the game are fun, too. There's several places where you can manipulate objects with the force for some "Easter eggs," like a Jukebox that plays the Cantina Band music from "A New Hope," or turn a computer room on Kamino into a disco playing the 70's disco rendition of the Star Wars theme (complete with dancers).

LEGO Star Wars has fairly good replay value as well. After you complete a level, you can go back through it on Freeplay mode, using any character you've unlocked to that point. You can also switch between any of your characters on the fly in this mode. In fact, you'll need to do this in order to uncover all the secrets in the game and collect all the mini-kit pieces. It's not necessary to complete the game, of course, it's just there to give you something to have fun with once you beaten the game. The game will also allow two players to play cooperatively, too, something that is rare in non-online games these days.

It's not going to go down in history as a genre-defining game, like Doom or Civilization, but if you're a casual gamer, or you just like to have fun without investing most of your free time, LEGO Star Wars fits the bills. It's fun, fast-paced, with little to no offensive content whatsoever.

Okay, am I the only person who will review this game, not how defective it is?
Okay, so mabey everone except me hated the Phatom Menace, Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith, but lego star wars puts a charming twist contaning the first three episodes and with Legos(duh). You go through six stages(five on the Clone Wars) in every episode doing story mode first, then you can go back to the free play mode and go through the stage with a asortment of the characters which you already have.
The overal story does mainly follow the 3 movies, the stages are incredibly short, with the bare minimum of puzzels, if you can even call them that.
The 'side quests' are collecting tiny round bricks called 'studs' to get something called a Super-kit, which is a big Lego model. You can also find ten little models in each stage to find a regular kit, which is modeled after an object in the stage. Please, rent this game first, of play a demo.

VERY FUN GAME. But with problems.

THIS GAME ROCKED. But I also have a insanely up to the second updated computer. So i havnt had the problems that most people have had with this game. Okay the pros are CO-op play a goofy fun game with your friends! Fun for the whole neighborhood. I liked the large amount of characters becusae it gave me a large choice of what character i wanted to be. (Darth Sideous all the way!) Cons: One really cheap part in my opinion was the fact taht you can enter codes to get the bonus stuff. I found that a little dissapointing because then youll just get all the best characters without even trying. Once again dont buy unless you have the right graphics card. I think i needs a Pixel shader 1.1 or something to that meeasure. And another thing. Why of all things when you start up does it show Nvidia? Is it suggesting get this video card or this game won't work or what?

For those with top of the line comps GOOD GAMING!!!!!

Lego meets star wars to make an awesome game!

this game is awesome! even though its lacking in levels, the graphics, replayability, and just overall funness make up for it. theres over 50 different characters , so you dont use 2 guys the whole time you play. Its even got levels where you pilot a starfighter, a podracer, and a republic gunship! By the way, if yer PC dont run it,dont write a bad review.

Can't even run game!!!

This game is a complete waste of money!!! Installed the game fine but it won't run! There are forums full of the problems with this game. Wish I would have seen them before I bought it. Also requires administrator privaledges to run game!!! Non-existent customer support.

My son loves this, but it does terrible things to my computer. I can only let him play it for 25 minutes then my computer overheats and crashes. Another parent I know bought the same game for her son. Her computer has an older video card, which is incompatable with this so they can't use it on their machine. He can, however, play it on his uncle's computer when he goes to visit him. That machine take an hour before it crashes. Yeesh.
