Play Lego Star Wars before Lego Star Wars II

Lego Star Wars is a fun game, though a bit short. Its main weakness to me is that I played Lego Star Wars II first. LSW2 is far better than the first; the developers clearly learned and improved on all the strengths and also removed the weakest aspects.

If you've played LSW2 already, you might pass on this one. But if not, start here. And when you've finished it, definitely get the sequel.

Boring.

I gave Lego Star Wars a good long try when my brother got it for Christmas. He says he loves it. The person that gave it to him says he loves it. I was almost bored to tears. Though I liked playing in multiplayer mode with my brother, the game itself was nothing more that slashing everything and collecting random lego parts. Just like regular Legos, I wish it was more fun than it actually is.

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!

Fairlly easy and amuseing game

I got this game for my nephew and he enjoyed it very much. The only downside about this game is that its a short game with 16 very short levels. When it came to the point were my nephew was stuck on a level I found the game very easy. It has all your favorite characters in it. It also provides amusement, even in the dark moments of the game. I was surprised but yet amused when, playing as darth Maul, I walked into the parking lot and was jumped by a bunch of Jedi ;;0_o;;. Other then that it is a simple game that won't disappoint its buyers.

Lego Star Wars 1 good but not as good as #Lego SW 2

My son and I play lego star wars 2 a lot which we enjoy tremendously so we thought we would get #1. #1 is fun but not as good as #2. One annoying thing is that on many of the ship type of playing they can be very difficult and it starts you over at the very beginning of the segment instead of where you crashed. So it takes a long time to master some of the stuff - like the podrace and the ship navigation. Still fun but harder than #2 and not as refined.

Really fun game, a bit too easy

I enjoyed it very much especially the animation sequences. The game itself was a little too easy I beat every level and found all of the extras in two days.

A fun game anybody can play

I just recently beat this game and enjoyed the whole process of it. Lego Star Wars follows the storyline of Episodes 1-3. You play through being the characters used in the movies. You can play as several different types of characters to help you get through this. The world is a lego world and is pretty funny.

The game doesn't offer a whole lot of chllenge. Very few of the levels are all that difficult. Finishing all the tasks in the game are a little more of a challenge.

I love the Jedi in the game. It's fun to run around with a lightsaber chopping up other little lego characters. You have the option to also use blasters if that is what the particular character uses. Jedi can use the force to manipulate objects and the world.

If you're a parent with children I'd get this game and play it with them. It's simple enough you can do it, and the gameplay is fun enough that anybody of any age can enjoy. If you're a hardcore Star Wars fan I still think you won't be disappointed. It's a cheap game that doens't offer cheap thrills. Go pick it up beat it and enjoy playing the free mode for hours.

Pretty Good, Challenging Enough

My dad bought this game for me. He ordered it via Amazon. It is pretty good. I rate it four stars. It is challenging enough. I thought each time I play that I would never lose any of my progress, but even though I'm wrong, this game is still fun. Recently, I had a playdate with one of my good friends, and I got pretty far. Like most other reviewers like this game, I do as well.
A pretty good game!!!

Not as fun as Lego Star Wars II

I played lego star wars 2 before I played this game. Maybe I should have done the reverse. Anyway, I thought it was fun, but it just seem to be lacking something. I found that something when I played Lego 2. I find all of the characters fun to play with. I like this game, but not as much as Star Wars Lego 2.
