    That's what LEGO Star Wars is all about: a great time. Whether it's the nostalgia or the cuteness that hooks you in, the gameplay makes it worth sticking around.

    It is not only a game that you won’t hesitate to allow your children to play, it is a game that will have you sitting next to them with both of you playing. I can hardly wait for the Lego Star Wars sequel.

    The perfect rental game: it's short, it's fun, and it's got a great multi-player mode. It is too short and too easy, though, to warrant a purchase.

    That co-op feature makes this among the best kids games out there, because parents and kids can directly play together.

    Don't change the style - we may already have mentioned once or twice that the style's perfect. Just make more of it. Make it harder, more of a challenge, more of a game.

    There's a goofy pleasure in seeing animated Lego figures pantomime scenes from the movies, and the game's puzzles and battles are undemanding but fun.

    The core gameplay is somewhat lacking. ‘But it’s for kids,’ we hear you cry. Maybe so, but even kids - or those who are just young at heart - will no doubt want a challenge that lasts longer than it would take to watch the original trilogy. [May 2005, p.109]

    Believe it or not, the same system that every Lego Game uses was once original, fun, and explorative. This is the game where it once occurred.Believe it or not, the same system that every Lego Game uses was once original, fun, and explorative. This is the game where it once occurred. The game does suffer from some frustrations that do not result from a challenging level design, but from a lack of good level design, which makes the game slightly challenging on the first run. Once you understand how to get past the glitches and the bugs (especially in the PC version), this game is a classic.… Expand

    The humor the game handles is funny, maybe not that funny like a cartoon, but descent enough that can be enjoy for both kids and adults, not like the more modern LEGO games which humor is getting sillier each entry.
    Each level recreates an scene from the films, each level has its collectibles that the player can collect playing as a default character from the level or playing as other character from in free roam.
    The game is short... the targeted audience were kids, so, the game is not that challenging, normal enemies can be defeated with one or two hits, boss battles had between 5 to 10 life points and they can be easily defeated as well, so... this is a little disappointing.
    Controls are terrible if you play with keyboard, there are instances that some key does not response as they suppose to.
    The graphics are fine, not that amazing nowadays but it has some great reflective effects.
    The game runs without any problem with modern OS and graphic cards and it can handle solid 60 FPS without ground breaking technical glitches or broken AI, and without having to install any patches or community fixes or anything like that.
    This is the kind of game that you can play if you don't what to play next.    … Expand

Game must be doing something right if I unlock all minikits, Jedi's ect. One of the best LEGO games out there. Perhaps graphically dated and a little too easy. You can for example buy invincibility...yeah. I don't regret playing or buying this game and if you are a Star Wars fan you probably wont either.… Expand
