Manufacturer's Description
Play the most memorable and exhilarating scenes from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith including pod racing on Mos Espa, the repelling of the droid onslaught in the Genosian arena and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon's fatal fight with Darth Maul. Besides controlling the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2, notorious dark side enemies such as Jango Fett, Darth Maul and Count Dooku appear in thrilling boss showdowns. As you progress through the game you unlock many new characters including the defeated bosses, and you must switch between them to solve puzzles using their special abilities.

In addition to a single-player mode, there is a 'drop in, drop out' two-player co-operative mode allowing a second player to enter or leave the action whenever they want. There is also a free-play mode where unlocked characters can be played in different scenarios to those of the films. This adds immeasurably to the game's replayability and there are further incentives to complete the game for budding Jedi Knights in the form of hidden levels and vehicles.

Best star wars game yet!!!
Lego star wars is a great game with over 30 playable characters such as general grevious,yoda and count dooku.Amazingly funny and great fun to play.Lego star wars is for both adult and kids and would make any star wars fan smile.The only flaw is the games too short and quite easy however you could never get tired of this game.with the free play selection avalable to every level once completed lets you go any of the characters you have unlocked.There are also great extras to like brushes for instead of lightsaber or big blaster pistols

Final verdict great game and very amusing

Best star wars game yet!!!!
Lego star wars is an amazing game!!!With over 30 playable characters the fun never stops,amazingly funny and stunning action.Play through episodes 1,2and 3:revenge of the sith.Only one flaw in this game is that it's to short and very easy however if you're a star wars fan whether adult or kid you would still love this game!

Good old-fashioned Star Wars fun.
THE STORY:
Play through the events of 'The Phantom Menace'(including Podracing and the duel with Darth Maul), 'Attack Of The Clones' (including a battle with Jango Fett and the manic fight in the arena) and 'Revenge Of The Sith' (including the Battle of Coruscant and the titanic clash between Obi-Wan and Anakin), but versions of them where the world is made of Lego.

WHAT'S GOOD:
This game has no pretensions of being a gritty FPS (like 'Republic Commando') or of delivering 'the ultimate Jedi experience' (like the Episode III game), choosing instead to take the franchise and have some fun with it. Between levels there are little cutscenes showing scenes from the films but with a more comical twist (I particularly ejoyed the double-popping noise when Padme gives birth to Luke and Leia). The levels are inventively designed, with certain areas only accessible with particular characters (who may not be available in Story Mode - allowing for considerable replay value in Free Mode), be it using the Force, using grapple guns, climbing through vents or using droid interfaces. As you progress through the game there are various things which you can collect that lead to you obtaining parts for Lego Star Wars vehicles. You also aquire additional playable characters as you progress (some you get automatically, some you have to buy) meaning you can try out some interesting combinations of characters and scenarios (why not have Darth Vader and Darth Maul take on General Grievous?). The two player arcade-style drop-in drop-out feature is also a lot of fun allowing you and a friend to combine your skills and favourite characters. Basically, one of the most purely amusing Star Wars games available.

WHAT'S BAD:
Since it is primarily aimed at kids, the game won't be anything like a challenge to an experienced gamer - I've had it a few days and already have all the characters and levels unlocked. The other problem I had is that my copy crashes fairly regularly, particularly at Dexter's Diner when there's a lot of characters on screen, which can get really irritating. It might just be my copy or my Xbox, but be warned.
