This game is actually the best star wars game I have played, behind SOTE for the 64 back in the day, I played the first one and it was addicting to collect every single stud, but this improves greatly on the first lego star wars. Vehicles, more unlockable characters, and achievements, add to the addicting nature of this game. When people first hear about this game people normally pass it off as a childish game, but it is a fresh breath of air on the 360s lack of original games. It follows the story of star wars pretty well, but there are some parts that just make me and my friends laugh out loud (I'm not going to spoil any of the good parts for you.) There are some downfalls to the game though. The camera angle can get a little anoying after a while, and during co-op you need to stay close to eachother or you get pushed into a hole and lose your precious studs. Also the AI needs a little improvement, the computer controlled characters get in the way most of the time and it is anoying having them follow you around when you are trying to activate a sequence of sensors. All together though it is a great game to break the monotomos similarity of games on the 360 and is definetly worth a rent, if not a buy.
