My parents gave my son (at my behest) the Lego Star Wars game for the Xbox. The kid loves his Star Wars and this game is a true all-ager. Blood? Nope, just Legos flying. It really follows the storylines of Episodes I and II (I haven’t gotten into III yet — but it’s here also). The cinematics are right out of he films, except Lego-ized. Very impressive work.It’s a two player game, and you can drop in and out in the middle of a scene. If he gets stuck, dad can jump in and help (and vice versa). Lots of puzzles and a nifty way of using the Force to accomplish tasks.
There are a lot of secrets and its a deep game. It’ll take a lot of time to unlock all of the hidden stuff — he’ll be playing this one for a long time (especially with the 30-minute limit per day).
I give it an 8.5 (and a 9 thinking as a kid). I think it’s also available for PC, Playstation 2 and Game Boy Advanced.
Good stuff.
