The force of brick is stronger with this one.
First of all, this game has got the best multiplayer expierience in a while. Every level, even if it messes with the Star Wars story a tad bit, has 2 player in it. However, what if sky walker wants to go to the left, and yoda wants to go to the right? There's just nothing that you really can do about it, but decide which way to go, and listen to the other player moan and complain because he wanted to go the other way. That sucks for him.
Now, this game has the coolest thing. 6 x 6 levels! 36 levels in all, 6 for every star wars movie! That, plus over 200 characters, a few extra levels, ten lego ship parts for level, super part pack to be earned for every level's challenge mode, all of that to buy, and a gold brick system. That means if you want 100% complete, it's gonna be a long time before you get it, which means the price you would buy this for, is totally worth it!
Now all versions except the wii and ds are the exact same. The DS has everything, plus touch screen compatibility, and redesigned levels. The wii has optional motion controls, and toned down graphics. Shaking the nunchuck while using the force, will make it go faster, and secret lightsaber moves for your custom characters when you use the wii remote.
The difference between this and the original is that this has new levels, characters, extras, options, minigames, and more. It truly completes the Lego Star Wars saga.
The controls suck for this version though, and will require ALOT of customization to get just right.
