My son is a leg and star wars freak so when this came out he could not wait to get it. He loves playing it. Although he says it is a bit easy he would still recommend it.

A good GameCube port of a surprisingly-fun game

This GameCube version of Lego Star Wars was released a full six months after the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, an odd decision considering the frequently-assumed target audiences of the different consoles. Even so, this delayed port is nevertheless a very solid one, and gamers who have Cubes can pick this one up knowing it looks and plays just as well on this console as it does on the others.

Lego Star Wars is a game that is forgiving enough that children will enjoy it (i.e. a character who gets "killed" is simply resurrected nearby). At the same time, also has a few challenges that will give adults a share of fun. The game features a VERY large number of unlockables and extras that can only be completed by collecting certain items and collecting large enough numbers of the game's currency (known as bits). Some of the levels are not terribly difficult to beat - but can be challenging to beat with sufficient numbers of bits, some of which are lost when a character dies.

Of note, Lego Star Wars also has an easy-to-use cooperative feature, which is a great deal of fun regardless of the age of the people you are playing with.

The presentation of this game is outstanding. The graphics are beautiful and glossy and portray the "Lego" and the "Star Wars" both wonderfully. The cutscenes are funny and capture well the storyline of the first three episodes even though there is no voicework to speak of. John Williams soundtrack is here and the game even has the appropriate tracks for each level. Hearing that trademark "Darth Maul" anthem during the duel with the Sith is a real treat.

There are only a few drawbacks to the game. One, it's a bit on the short side - an adult could probably plow through the entire campaign in 6-8 hours. That being said, each level has hidden items and unlockables that are only accessible after you've beaten that level in the regular story mode, so there is a lot of incentive to go back. Two, a couple of the levels might actually be a bit hard for kids, such as the podracing level... perhaps all the more reason for an adult to sit down and enjoy the game with them. :) Finally, a couple of the platforming sequences have some odd camera angles that can result in excessive deaths the first time through, but this is less of a hassle considering the fact that it's impossible to die completely in the game.

Overall, though, this is one of those unusual games that is easily recommendable to both older Star Wars fans and younger kids... and is all the better if your household has both!

COOLEST GAME EVER!

I love this game! You get to be all sorts of lego star wars people! you can be any one from Anikin and Darth Vader to and Padama and Jar Jar Binks. With the first three episodes, even episode III: Revenge Of The Sith! I'd say if you have a Game cube and like star wars this is a must have!

FINALLY!!

I have been so upset because this game was not available for Game Cube, especially since the target audience for Game Cube is perfect for this game. My son has wanted this game and we were considering getting a whole other system eventually just so we could have this game. Imagine my happiness when I saw this finally available for Game Cube!
This is absolutely the cutest thing you'll ever see. The sound effects are wonderful, as is the music. The characters are precious, even Darth Maul! My son is five and crazy about Star Wars, but as parents, we find this game fun to play as well. We keep away from some of the more violent games, but this is great because even if you get someone with your light saber, it is just like a lego and falls apart into blocks. No blood or anything. Another great thing about this game...there is really no losing involved, so my son can continue to play even after his points run out. Adults and older children will enjoy working your way through the story, from Episode I to III, but little ones will simply enjoy getting to be Qui Gon, Obi Wan, or other characters and weilding the light saber. This is the best game we have bought for our Cube and I am tickled to death that it is finally available. CUTE CUTE CUTE and TONS OF FUN TOO!!!

Kids Loved It

My 7 and 8 year old boys own somewhere near 30 GameCube games. We recently purchased this for them and this is among their favorite games. They loved the game play. They loved being able to save up points to "purchase" characters. Of course they love Star Wars and Legos so that was the initial hook. As parents, we really had to make sure they didn't over play this game as our boys could easily spend hours sitting together on the same family room chair playing this game. Cute watching them play and hoot and holler, but in moderation. Good game.

Not Just For Small Children

I recently played this game at my friends house and we had a blast. He had just bought it and right out of the box it was loads of fun.
The Lego theme probably throws off a bunch of older children, but believe me, this game is fun! I'm 12 years old and I think this game is awesome.

GRAPHICS-9/10
Good graphics, they make the enviornment look great.

GAMEPLAY-10/10
This game is extremely easy to learn! Within the first couple minutes of the game you'll have the basics mastered.

SOUND-9/10
Great sound, lightsabers hum, and the Star War's theme plays the whole time.

FUN VALUE-10/10
THis game is just loads of fun. In Dexter's Diner you can watch Jar Jar and Qui-Gon fight. Watching battle droids fall into bricks never loses it's novelty, and the game just overall excells.

What are you doing? Go out and buy this game now. NOW!

Go on you know you want to

First off, this game is the coolest. I bought it under the impression that it was going to be fun. My roommate on the other hand repeatly told me that "that looks so stupid, why did you waste your money" Well his tune changed once we started playing! This game is so much fun.
So who when there were little and played with legos didnt think about what it would be like to be a lego. You know live in your lego house dirve your lego car...well now you can!
The gameplay is great, its you and a friend or just you. you battle it out in many differnt worlds, which by the way are very interactive. there is always a little something extra, even if its just to watch some chairs dance.
the only thing that bothers me once in a while is the camera angle...but hey thats the camera angle. it can be overlooked...and overlooked it shall be!
The graphics are good, very true to the legos they are supposed to represent. And the cut seens are short and some are funny. There is no dialog to listen to so it makes them keep it short. The puzzels will keep you guessing from time to time..and some will leave you scraching your head. There is endless replayablity, as you can go back through each world in "free play" and choose different characters to be on the level. you actualy have to do this if you hope to beat the game.
really, what more could you ask for. you have a great toy, lego, you have a good system, the cube, good story, star wars, whats not to like! dont be afraid to try this game...even if you think your too old. I wasnt to old!

Lots of Fun!

I got this game for my son for his 9th birthday and he just loves it. He is a big Star Wars fan & he has lots of Lego's so this game was a perfect choice for him. He loves the way the game looks and the puzzles involved to get to the next level. I love the fact that he can play two player with his little sister.
This is a beautiful & fun game. All Star Wars fans will love it.

A great Game

Lego Star Wars is a great game which I play very often. With over 30 different characters to chose from, you will almost never get tired with this game! You can accumulate all of the characters by collecting blue, silver, and golden lego studs. You can also cash them in for extras which make the game even more entertaining. It includes levels based on the first three movies, and an extra bonus level after you complete the main game. I would say it is for ages 7-13, since it has no extreme violence, but still appeals to those of an older age.

fun for all ages
