My son loves this game. I bought it for his birthday. Up until then he was borrowing his best friends copy of the game. It has brought him hours of endless joy.

shallow story yet deep fun!

Those of you who purchased the first Lego Star Wars know that its a hilarious game, but only 6 levels per episode. That means you only get 18 levels cause they cover episodes 4,5,and 6. Yet there are TONS of extras that keep the gameplay fresh. Controls are pretty much the same as the original. Some characters use blasters, Jedi use lightsabers and the force. However, this time around the gunners far outnumber Yoda's crew.Also, due to the lack of main characters in the original trilogy, you'll see a lot of Han, Luke, and Leia. There is plenty of puzzle solving and hilarious cut scenes. All of the favorite scenes from the movies (Han shot first,lifting the X-wing,the Ewok song...)have been included. There's so many extras youll stay entertained for a long time. I highly rate this game for anyone who likes to build, and loves a good movie.

A fun game...with some glaring oversights for the Star Wars faithful

All of the reviewers got this one right. This is a very fun game with some good graphics and improved action over the first. I would be remissed if I did not bring up a few issues. Bear with me as these are coming from a Star Wars fanatic.
1) No ability to use "first game" characters in the Cantina. This is a little thing but one of the really fun things in the first game was getting into huge lightsaber battles in the free roam area around the Cantina. With the addition of Force powers, we should have been able to match Mace Windu against Sidious again etc. However, for some reason you cannot take characters brought over from the first game into the Cantina...boo.

2) Yoda fanboys must have programmed this game. In an actual mission board with someone else, the Emperor cannot kill Yoda or Darth Vader with lightning. I am all for the attention to detail where Yoda attempts to absorb the lightning instead of being picked up like all the others, but lightning is ultimately what defeated Yoda in III, and it killed Vader in Episode VI. At least outside the Cantina you can shock the little green friend and your henchman to their respective ends. The other annoying thing is that Yoda cannot be choked by Vader yet the Emperor can. Come on...the Emperor is clearly Yoda's force equal or greater; yet he can be choked by Vader or shocked by another Emperor? The Emperor should be immune to choke attacks, and he should absorb lightning like Yoda.

The novelty might be lost, but the game is still great

Since the first Lego Star Wars was first released, fans obviously were waitng for a sequel based on the original trilogy. Well, they got EXACTLY what they asked for in this game. The formula is left untouched (now huge technical leaps and bounds in this game), and now, everything is based on Episodes IV, V, and VI. Whether you like this game or not, will depend how much you liked the first Lego Star Wars and of course, it helps if you are a Star Wars fan.

No blockheads working at LucasArts this time

If you're too young to remember what the "Original Trilogy" for the Star Wars series means then you should probably put daddy's plastic down and go find these "episodes IV, V, and VI" that these older guys keep talking about. If you're the said daddy and can give me a full specifications list of a T-16 skyhopper, then make no mistake - you have arrived.

Okay, so it's a kid-friendly game built out of those little plastic building blocks that you keep finding in the most inopportune places - such as a vaccuum cleaner - but it doesn't mean this game was designed for kids. Take the movies and overdose it with irreverent humor and you have Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy.

The game is absolutely spectacular in the level of polish it presents. Tight control makes it easy to spot and shoot targets (usually loads of plastic stormtroopers armed to the teeth with more plastic), though sometimes the Jedi are a little hard to aim when swinging their lightsabers. The general premise of the game is to wade through all three of the orginal movies doing some light puzzling, moderate platforming, and an insane amount of shooting. Oh, and did I mention shooting?

I am quite sure you would be expecting graphics that are - well - blocky, but that's simply not the case. Those little Lego characters and other craft are actually quite well-designed, sometimes showing off with some pretty crazy structures - like the towering AT-AT. Pretty darn cool.

The cutscenes are simply a riot, and are pretty much the whole reason you will want to come back to this game. They are all at least laugh-out-loud worthy, and some will make you want to watch them again and again for the laughs. Hilarious, indeed. They follow the movies almost exactly, but add in a liberal amount of irreverence to give the player a totally different look at the game. The cutscenes simply make this good game great.

So daddy, grab that plastic that you've got in your wallet and give any excuse possible to your family to buy it. It's worth every penny, and though it may not be the greatest game ever made, it's definately one of the funniest. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is really what Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike should have been, and surpasses it with style. Remember, you should never max out your credit card - but you can come really close without regretting it with Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy.

Pretty good

This game is really fun!These are the only bad things:

*Once you beat story mode and unlock all the characters,(it isn't easy), it gets sort of boring.

*You can't die. every time your hearts go to 0, you fall apart and lose some studs, (the currency), they just go out and you can get them again.

*once you unlock use old save (where you can load characters from the first game,but you have to have memory data), you can't be them in the cantina.(the place where you start out.)

I ordered the PC version of this game some months ago for my husband and myself. We had a blast with it so decided to order it for my brother's Nintendo on his 17th birthday. He enjoys it, too. The little movies before each level are hilarious. What I especially appreciate about the game is that it's totally clean. My only complaint is that you can't change camera angel, but I adjust to that after playing for a bit.

Great for young kids!

My 2 boys, ages 3 1/2 & 5 1/2, love this game! Since it's on the Gamecube, the controllers are easy for them to use and moving the characters throughout the game is a cinch. They like to change characters frequently and have actually made it pretty far into the game. It's also a good game because it makes them think and use their reasoning skills.

Great, but more difficult than Star Wars I(New Trilogy)

My 5 year old kid, first buy Star Wars I(New Trilogy), the game was a blast, easy and with some nice cheats for young kids (invicibility, unlock characteres etc) in this new game its far more difficult than the previous one, one thing we hate about it its the cheats or codes, doesn't help young kids to advance in the game, and its frustating for the younger ones.
