Lego Star Wars
Posted by | Filed under Games
I really enjoyed this game. It was pretty easy – I beat all three episodes in about 9 or 10 hours, but it was fun. It pretty faithful to the Star Wars storyline, and the Lego motif was well used. For example, there were lots of places where you would have to build a piece of equipment, a vehicle, or grappling hook pad, etc, from a pile of Lego pieces. Pretty cool.
The puzzles were pretty easy, but still enjoyable. There weren’t too many places where I was annoyed by the platform mechanics. There were still some times where I died unnecessarily because the camera angle was a bit off and I couldn’t tell exactly where my character was going to land. But it was all pretty forgivable.
Playing through the game in Story mode was really only the beginning, though, since you can then play every episode through in Free Play mode, which allows you to access a bunch of secret areas and collect items. I only managed to unlock 60% of the game before I got bored, but if you’re really into finding and collecting items, then this one is definitely worth a rental.
