    "if you are into Star Wars (I'm not)."

    Then why are you reviewing a Star Wars game?

    Next review for him will be of a French restaurant (Spoiler alert: he dislikes French food and therefore the review will be negative.).

    The game is great to play. Although, at times the camera movement stinks. If they would fix that then this would be a 10 giving the new chapters and the online play.

    Complete Saga? It only has 6 of the 9 main movies, none of the anthology films and nothing from the Clone Wars! It's half a game so it get's half a score!

    This game doesn't hold up. I'm a massive Star Wars fan and I enjoy just about every Lego game. While this was a great start for the franchise, it's pretty simple and kind of boring compared to later entries. Play Lego The Force Awakens or Lego Lord of the Rings or Lego Marvel Super Heroes instead!

    It's a fun game with really fun yet simple combat and a decent way to experience episodes 1 to 6 in a single video game, but there's one problem. You literally cannot die at all. You instantly respawn right on the spot when you die, and you have infinite lives. None of the enemies you kill respawn, you don't go back to a checkpoint, the puzzles don't reset, you are literally immortal.It's a fun game with really fun yet simple combat and a decent way to experience episodes 1 to 6 in a single video game, but there's one problem. You literally cannot die at all. You instantly respawn right on the spot when you die, and you have infinite lives. None of the enemies you kill respawn, you don't go back to a checkpoint, the puzzles don't reset, you are literally immortal. There's literally no point to having a combat system and a health meter if death literally doesn't exist. Some people will say "but you lose studs", but that's not exactly a real consequence for death since studs are completely optional and not required to finish the story mode. You could argue that "it's a kids game", but there's plenty of kids game where failure at least matters a tiny bit, like Mario, Pokémon, Sonic, and even Kirby! So the only way to have any sort of challenge in this game is to manually quit a level upon death and play the whole thing all over again, and not even that works because you then have to sit through tons of unskippable cutscenes over and over again. If you don't care about that, you'll love this game. But if you want an *actual* video game about Star Wars, you're better off with Old Republic or the other games where each movie is given it's own game. Also the friendly AI is borderline nonexistent, this game was not designed with single players in mind and you basically HAVE to find a co-op partner. Expand

    Revisiting this game, made me realise it wasnt as good as i remembered. Levels are pretty short, and some are pretty bland. It s still better than some new lego games

    Not even close to the best LEGO game. I understand it's a game for children but the puzzles and combat are far too easy. However, the charm of the game is undeniable. Almost every possible location is detailed, even if it's not necessary.

  1. Despite all of these cool minor additions, the core gameplay feels mostly like one big retread. With all of the great new games coming out this holiday, it’s hard to justify replaying this series. For diehard fans, however, this is the definitive LEGO Star Wars game.
  2. Even if the new bells and whistles aren't enough to bring back established fans, this is still Lego Star Wars at its finest.
  3. Simple, easy-to-use controls are marred only by the game’s sometimes atrocious handling of the camera.
