Lego Star Wars is a game that any star wars fan should not miss out on. Now I wont go into detail on the story, because quite frankly you should know it by now. Anyways the main progression of the story is told by cutscenes featuring everyones favorite characters. though there is no dialog between characters other than laughs and grunts, Travelor Tale's has managed to provide a good deal of humor to the game. The game is split into three or episodes which themselves are divided by six chapters. Each episode features a mix of vehicle and ground missions. After you beat each chapter you unlock it for free play. In free play you can re-do each mission as any character that you have unlocked,though you do have to sacrifice the story aspect of the game. You can unlock characters and vehicles for use in Free Play by either gaining them from completing chapters or by purchasing them. There is a huge amount of characters reaching over 50. You can also create your own character though it is fairly limited. there are also cheats, hints, and golden bricks that can be purchased. Golden bricks are used to create areas for secret bonus missions. You gain golden bricks by doing different things in each mission, with a total of 4 per mission though you can also purchase 8 of them. The features drop in co-op so that you can enter and leave whenever you wish easily. The only dissapointing part about it is how co op doesnt work over Xbox Live. The graphics in the game are fairly good [though they dont have to try that hard] and the audio of course features the classic John Williams soundtrack. The game should take you around 5-7 hours, though with the huge amount of unlockables it'll probably take more like 30 without some sort of guide. In the end if you are a star wars fan you should play this game, even though it looks like its for kids. If your a parent this is a great game to give to your kids, and an even better one to play with them. And for everyone else, its just plain fun.
