There are few things that many people our age can all relate to from there childhood, and that is LEGO's & Star Wars. Well, after playing the first epic LEGO Star Wars game, I felt 8 again. I loved the way the story was put together with the little witty skits throughout the game played on by little LEGO men. It was a fun game to play. The graphics were phenominal. The game was genius to be exact. Then I heard about the making of the sequel, and was a little skeptical. How can a game so good be "sequelled"? Grant it that it would be brought to the "next-gen" era, I just could not help but feel doubt that the game would be much different from the first game, minus the story of course. I was very wrong. The game has all the greatness of the old game, but with the right tweaks and gameplay to make it an awesome game. I had some friends over playing it with me, and its great that they can jump in and out of the game at a whim. The graphics are more amazing than ever! The game play is more complex, with much more destructible environments, making it even more enjoyable than before. Of course, no game is perfect so here are the cons. Aiming is one of the most difficult things in the game if you ask me, can be very frustrating at times. The camera angles are also one thing that I wish that they had changed from the first one. Also, when jumping from ledge to ledge, the structure of your character feels really soft, like your guy is walking on water of something, which can be tedious when jumping over pits and stuff. Where is the co-op online play?!? I was looking forward to that!!! LEGO Star Wars II is a great game with great replay value. There are plenty of items to unlock and secrets to find to keep this game going strong for a long time. I would definitely recommend getting this title.
