    You have to give credit to the brilliant blockhead who forced this awesome yet fundamentally bizarro idea on LucasArts. [Oct. 2006, p.111]

    A surprisingly challenging experience.

    Everything is unabashedly cheerful... It's a shame that later levels begin to run out of steam, repeating tasks over and over as a contrivance for lengthening narrative. [Oct 2006, p.90]

    A game of several frustrating elements and simplistic gameplay that somehow manages to immerse and entertain. The condensed retelling of the trilogy is genuinely amusing (unless you've never seen a Star Wars movie before), whist the many, many secrets and unlockables provide a compelling hook to the largely simplistic romp.

    With a few exceptions, I felt all of the new features would have been better off left out, but the core gameplay is still there.

    My one complaint with this game is the flashing text. If you don’t have a 2nd player, the game continuously flashes ‘Insert Controller’, which can’t be turned off.

    Some gameplay problems, but its charm and replayability helps to overcome them. [Issue #15]

    Not concerned with complex game design or elaborate plot, The Original Trilogy sets out to do one thing only - please gaming SW fans the world over, and it achieves this admirably. [Issue 12, p.90]

    LSW2 is a quality title, but it suffers the same problem as the films it parodies.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This was one of the first games I ever had as a kid and I still enjoy it to this day even though some deaths feel unfair and it's tedious especially on the Xbox 360 when you try to go for the achievements but there's no major bugs or glitches that ruins the experience or any glitches that would ruin the fun of the game.… Full Review »

    With it’s quirkiness and creativity, LEGO Star Wars: The Original Trilogy is a worthy LEGO game.
