Manufacturer's Description
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy takes the fun and endless customization of LEGO and combines it with the epic story, characters and action from the original Star Wars movies that revolutionized pop culture forever (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II follows the Rebel Alliance's crusade to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. Build and battle your way through your favourite film moments, from Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the second Death Star, as the game includes even more of the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humour that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim.

And much more new to offer, it still has. For the first time ever, characters can get in and out of vehicles, as well as ride creatures. You can also mix and match the body parts of more than 50 playable characters to create one of millions of possible LEGO Star Wars heroes. And on console and Windows platforms, a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock another 50-plus additional characters for Free Play - that's more than 100 total characters! Other exciting additions include free-roaming vehicle levels that are no longer on rails, the ability to switch ships at will in Free Play, cool new character-specific attacks and manoeuvres, playable mini-kit vehicles, an optional adaptive difficulty mode and more.

Customer Reviews

Classic, just classic!
If you enjoyed the first one, you'll love this one even more! I personally enjoyed the original trilogy of films far more than the more recent ones, and the lego version doesn't dissappoint! Hilarious animation sequences, brilliant animation on all the characters - even when they are just standing around; the way each stands is different - the rebel soldier reaching for his gun and realising its in the other holster had me in stitches.

The game isn't just about the animation though, it is genuinely fun - one of the few purely entertaining games I have ever found. Levels include action, messing around in a collection of exciting vehicles and puzzles - a brilliant variety which keeps the game fresh.

Whether you are simply looking for an enjoyable platformer, or find the idea of a Lego Han Solo, battling it out with Lego Stormtroopers funny - this is the game for you.

Oh, but you probably need to like Star Wars...and Lego.

Good game once I managed to get it installed!!

Just buy it - you won't regret it.
Fantastic game for both young and old - even both at the same time. a good way to get non-gamers into computer games as you can let the experienced player do the difficult bits. Full of humour and different things to do/find.
So at the current price just buy it, you won't regret it.
