Hmmm I'm not so sure. They could just call it 'crappy-blocky-people Star Wars' instead? Seriously though, isn't this just an excuse to produce a game with naff graphics? If you hadn't heard about Lego and you saw it, what would you think???

How cool is it ? Not as cool as Monty Python & the Holy Grail in Lego for starters

Ah, I remember back to my childhood when Lego was Lego, back when you had to build your own vehicles instead of having one that consists of one or two "blocks"...

I can't wait until the Lego Lord of the Rings and Notting Hill games appear.

Edge covered this in development a couple of months ago and according to them it looks the dogs danglies. I wouldn't be too put off by the whole Lego thing.

We got a demo of this game for the PC and my kids (3 and 5) love it.
They share a keyboard and play it together.
Ordered the PC version from Play for 18 quid.
Awesome.

I got it for my xbox yesterday along with DBZ Sagas.
It's quite funny and the graphics are ok, but its very simplistic. I played through a bit with my 10 year old brother and he seemed to love it. If your a star wars fan and you can pick it up cheap then go for it. If you can rent it or download it (for testing purposes.....) then i'd go that route.
Its fun (kinda)
It's simplistic.
great for kids
Quite a few characters.
But it's only based on the new star wars movies as far as i can see

Just bought this today and spent 2 hours playing this with my 5 year old (who is a huge Star Wars fan) in 2 player mode and he LOVED it. It's simple enough for him to get to grips with but he thought it was so good that I was able to play alongside him.

Got this last week on the xbox - as the previous posters, it is quite simplistic, but great fun - especially on co-op.

It ticks all the boxes for me:

It's a video game
It's Lego
It's StarWars

It is a very easy game, probally as it just may be mainly aimed for kids. But I think it is one of the best star wars games to date. I think they have used the liecence very well.

I have completed episode one and two on it so far, and I love it. It is truely a great little game.

The only downers I can put on it are that it is far too easy for an expierenced player like *cough* cough* me, and you dont have manual control over the camera which is a bit of a pain somtimes.

I do like that fact that there are such a variety of of different types of characters, whom all have good points and bad points, but work as a team and you can do anything. Eg jumping higher with certain characters, hovering, quick attacks etc....

Overall I'd have to gis the game at least and 8 out of 10 result.

I just writ a small review, in my own words.

It is a great fun game however easy/short it is, and should be in almost everyones game collection (even the non star wars fan)
