I've been looking forward to this realease for some time! I recently purchased this game and have been emjoying it immensely. While it is quite basic in its look and controls, there are a lot of details that keep me intrigued to play for hours and hours. I love the fact that you can take any character and play them in scenes that they were not originally intended for. This as well as many unlockable characters and secrets make this a great game for recreational gamers of all ages!
so FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Who'd have thought that recreating episode I, II, and III with Legos would be such a fantastic idea? The game not only presents itself really well, it plays really well too. An innovative idea that not only looks good on paper (or the internet) but also on your Playstation 2, Gamecube and XBOX.
The most astonishing thing about Lego Star Wars right off the bat is it's look and feel. You'll play through all three Star Wars adventures using LEGO figures. Going through the trilogy is a fun task. Each level you're given a party. Either play as the jedi and move things around, or play as a droid (R2-D2 type) and hover around. You can even play as Padme and just blast everything in sight.
What's even more appealing about the gameplay, is that you can switch between characters as you see fit. If R2 isn't working out for you, switch to Anakin. You can switch as you see fit. The game will ensure you do this, as well. Some puzzles you can't solve as any one character. So if you're thinking you can just be Obi-Wan throughout the whole segment of a level you're wrong. You'll eventually have to use someone else.
You can also kill your allies any time you want. This means you can actually umm... "kill" Jar Jar Binks! You can do it all you want too. There's no way to actually "die" in Lego Star Wars. There's also no such thing as a game over. The only penalty you get is losing all the money and goodies you collected along the way.
You can also play in co-op mode with a friend. And if you get bored you can always hack and slash at each other. Kill your best friend and take his money, that's the way to do it in Lego Star Wars! Since you literally have infinite lives, knock yourself out (and you can do that too).
The game also has a brand sense of humor. For example, when you dispatch an enemy the lego pieces actually shatter. When you blow stuff up, the lego blocks get scattered around. Even when you move things with the jedi they stack on each other as if they were legos. It's amazing to look at and has marvelous detail to it.
The game is, unfortunately, rather short. However, this is easily made up in the replay value and the unlockables. This game has more unlockables than gold bars in Fort Knox. You can unlock a multitude of characters, including Darth Maul and Count Dooku. Quickly you'll forget that you can't die, and be glad that you really can't. Otherwise the fun would be over too soon. Likewise, you may need an unlockable character to collect everything the game has. If you can't reach a certain area, it may be because you haven't unlocked the right character yet.
The music is also perfect. John Williams music score sounds fantastic. The humor in the game is great, and the look and feel is perfect. This game may be aimed at kids, but even adults will have a lot of fun with it. Because this game is just that: Fun. You can battle your friends and the only penalty you'll suffer is him (or her) stealing all your money. But hey, isn't it worth it just to kill Jar Jar?
The Good
+The game is just all out FUN!
+Nice brand of humor
+The Lego look is awesome
+You can play as a multitude of characters
+Switch any time you want
+You can't die! So the fun never ends
+A multitude of unlockables
+REALLY high replay value
+You can kill any character at any time, regardless of anything. This means if you want you can actually off Jar Jar Binks as many times as you want! (they do respawn of course)
The Bad
-The game is rather short
-There's little, if any, challenge at all... but honestly... who cares?
I can't wait for Lego Star Wars II when we get to play through the original trilogy!
Lego Star Wars game.

This game is cool, but you can't play in the 4th episode, like other games. I am 9 years old and it took me about 2-3 weeks to beat it. Other people should buy this game because you can be other characters that you want to be - like your favorite kind of characters.
Somewhat disappointed!

Before we brought this product we searched thw Xbox 360 website to see if it was compatible with XBox 360 since it was a previous Xbox game. We have not been able to get it to work. Still trying..............

I love Star Wars, but nothing short of a Jedi Mind Trick could make me recommend this game. I realize the game is for children, but there was so much more that could have been done to make this title more interesting. Some of the cut scenes were cute, but overall the graphics were lacking and the levels tedious and repetitive. I got really tired of collecting studs and hearts. Two player mode was marginally better, but the game was frustrating during levels like the Pod Race since the game doesn't use splitscreen. You'll find that one player will most likely need to drop out and let the other finish the race just to get to the next level. Small children will love this game, but 10 and up should look forward to the release of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith game due out in May.
Ripped off by LEGO!

Heard this was a great game for my kids - so I bought it. Found out I didn't heed all of the system requirements written in extra fine print on the box. This game will not play unless your video card supports something called 'pixel shader 1.1'. You will get a message saying 'FATAL ERROR: [COLOR=Red]"Sorry, but your machine is unable to run this game. It requires a graphics card which supports Pixel Shaders v1.1. The Game will now exit." [/COLOR] That's it, you're done for, you can't play this game until you upgrade your video card with one that is 'Pixel Shader 1.1' and ACTIVEX 9.0C compliant. There is no driver or firmware update you can get for your video card to make it compliant! You will have to shell out another $30 - $60 for a new video card to play this game. And you won't be able to get your money back on the game either - because it's been opened! I think LEGO or the maker of this game should put this hardware requirement IN BIG LETTERS ON THE BOX! Feeling ripped off by a company I once trusted.
Do not buy - It doesn't work

It is quite a good game for kids but is not worth top dollar. Also it crashes if you play it for more than an hour. I had to return it.
Really fun, but short

This game is cool, but its short. It only took me about a month to get all the extras, caracters, hints, and defeat the game. I suggest this game, but do not exepect it to be super long. Just because the movies are long does not mean the game is long.
LEGOS are lame this game is great

I don't like LEGOS at all but this game changed it all. LEGO Star Wars is chapters of Episode I-III turned into LEGOS of course. You can play over 30 of the coolest characters like Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, and plenty of others. This game will teach children and other people ideas of how to build different things with all of their LEGOS. This game is also really really fun. The co-op play is a blast and the game is incredible. Rent it if you want but you should buy it.
