    Great game with surprisingly deep mechanics later on. This game is the most responsive on yet in the series when it comes to function and the objectives given to you just beckon out to me like an old adventure game that wanted you to explore and use your head. It's great fun and playing co-op with my little cousin was a blast. TravelersTale makes the best LEGO game yet.

    More Lego fun with an old-school feel! As fun as this game is, it's much better played in co-op mode. The graphics and lighting are much improved, but the game still retains its old-school charm. Lots of cool new features, too. If you like Lego Star Wars, you will love this latest edition.

    If you are a fan of Star Wars, LEGO, or fun in general you should give this game a shot. It plays like the two previous LEGO Star Wars titles for the most part, with a few gameplay tweaks that improve and some that don't. Graphics are greatly improved, better textures and lighting, not everything is smooth and shiny this time, realistic rocks, environments and creatures are thrown in andIf you are a fan of Star Wars, LEGO, or fun in general you should give this game a shot. It plays like the two previous LEGO Star Wars titles for the most part, with a few gameplay tweaks that improve and some that don't. Graphics are greatly improved, better textures and lighting, not everything is smooth and shiny this time, realistic rocks, environments and creatures are thrown in and improve the overall look of the game. You can now have two groups of characters, each at different sides of a level, accomplishing different tasks. Anakin may be on one side of a ship,you'll solve a puzzle, making it possible for Obi Wan on the other side of the level to do what he needed to, you simply hold down the Y button to switch between characters. There is a new hub, two battle-cruisers you can pass between and explore at your leisure, each with new things to build and discover as you collect more red and yellow bricks in-game. This is also how you select the level you want to play. There is a hologram monitor in the center of one of the ships where you can select star systems, planets and levels. As usual there is a lot of replay value because if you want to collect everything you'll have to play through each level multiple times with different characters, each with a different skill and able to access different parts of each level. This is a very simple game comprised of light platforming, mild puzzles, simple combat and a whole lot of collecting. You can't die, whenever your character does, he reappears instantly where he was, the only penalty is you lose a few of the studs(LEGO currency) you've collected. There are tons of characters to unlock and play as, you also get to drive virtually every vehicle available in the Clone Wars series and even some off-the-wall stuff like ice cream trucks and scooters. The one problem I had with the game were the new strategy levels where the developers tried to emulate games like Command and Conquer or Warhammer, only simplified. You command three characters and an army of troopers and try to disable enemy defenses and destroy bases and weaponry. Its like the games it tries to emulate in the most basic way possible. There is no real strategy, just an order in which you should destroy certain targets and the way you command your forces. It is really trial and error, with little instruction on what exactly you're supposed to be doing or how to do it it. You basically run around aimlessly till you luck out and figure out the correct order and how to destroy certain structures and die a lot, and I know I said there is no penalty for dying, but doing it over and over is boring and tedious. I can't imagine children enjoying these levels, and that is this game's core audience. The majority of the levels in the game are the fun platform or vehicle levels so this doesn't really hurt the game too much. Besides, you don't have to play these levels if you don't want to. LEGO Star Wars is a fun game for adults and children alike, and you don't have to worry about violence and language in this one. If you are an adult and can get over the fact that you're playing a game for children there is a lot of fun to be had here, and if you want 100% completion you'll need a lot of skill, a human partner sometimes, and a lot of free time.… Expand

    So far the best Star Wars game out there. The graphics are enhanced and the freedom to go out of the republic ship and blow up bad guys is great.

My only problem is when you beat the game all you really can do is replay the levels or fly the ships and try to earn more studs Overall, I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves Star Wars or Lego or even anybody who just wants to have fun!

    Just like all lego games, this remains a fun co-op game. Playing the clone wars episodes in lego is great, doing fun space battles, kombat is fast and you get to explore more than lego star wars the complete saga.

    If you like the previous LEGO Star Wars games, you'll love LEGO Star Wars III. Most of the glitches or annoyances of previous titles in the franchise have been removed created a better experience. This game is definitely not for kids, but young adults will be able to maneuver through the tough levels. Exm.nr/ReviewWars

    Who would have thought that the Lego games would be some of the most fun, yet still challenging, games to come out onto the market? From the first Lego Star Wars, the appeal of the genre (yes, I would say it is itâ

It's a really great game, shockingly underrated in my opinion, still (in 2014) one of the very best lego games made. For co op fun, especially parent-child team ups, this cannot be beaten. The cartoon it is based on has some aspects parents might find objectionable (like occasional character death), but it can also be great fun to watch an episode of the show and then go play that same lego gamified story level in the game.… Expand

    i thought i would be sick of these LEGO Star Wars titles by now (especially a cartoon based one), but it is a lot of fun. i really like the humongous battles featured within. nothing like hearing that familiar score while shooting droids.

    By far the best Lego title I have seen so far. With better graphics more realistic gameplay, New features and options. And remember this game is still for kids who will love this addition to the lego galaxy.

    I played this amazing game on my ds when I was 5 years old. I just play the real game a LOT of years later. Fantastic. The only word that can describe this game. It's good to see that they put a lot of dedication on this game. The new mechanics, the new characters, the new maps, the new spaceships. Even the ds version is good, with the limits of the console, but it's still good. This isI played this amazing game on my ds when I was 5 years old. I just play the real game a LOT of years later.

Today, Lego Star Wars is getting old and bad, and this game is the prove that the Lego Star Wars franchise is one of the best Lego Video Games Franchises. I think this game needs the attention he doesn't have. But in general, I love this game, and a lot of people love it. 10 is my final note. Definitely 10.… Expand

    This game is fantastic. TT Games have always been solid when it comes to LSW games, and this is the case once again. It has extremely fun gameplay, which is something a lot of other LEGO games don't really have. The massive-scale battles are awesome.

    All the staples of the series are back, including the drop-in drop-out co-operative play, and it's these which define the title more than the new features.

    The quality expected of a Lego title. We're just not convinced the license it. [June 2011, p.80]

    A wildly ambitious kids' title whose signposting marginally can't keep up. More of this but clearer, please! [Issue#71, p.84]
