May the Force be with you... in tiny building blocks!
THE GOOD: excellent graphics, easy to use controls, in-depth character availability, character changing in free roam mode, excellent sfx and music and being able to use darth maul!
THE BAD: having to sit through the scrolling story line every time you start a mission/challenge/bonus stage. forever chasing coins...
As a fan of the Star Wars franchise, I am quite glad to see how closely the Lego game sticks with the narrative. Naturally there are scene omissions but I'm not anal enough to worry about that.
The ability to use Indiana Jones and play previous games' stages is also a novelty that is included. I didn't see much fun in it but I'm sure other people will enjoy it.
One thing to remember: it is meant for family fun, hence the rating classification. I was disappointed at first but after coming to the realisation that my 8 yr old neighbour would also enjoy this game, I felt a bit better.
