LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Wii, 2007)

The game is easy to play. You can play calmly with action button or wiggle the Wii remote to act as a light saber (you ear the sound of the light saber in the remote... very cool !). With the Wii version of the game, all the episodes (1-6) are on the same disc and are a little different than the Xbox version.

I own those two games for the Xbox: Episodes 1-3 and 4-6 (Two separates games/discs). With those, some of the game sections are really tough for a kid, even for me (maybe it's because i'm getting older...). For example, the pod race. On the Xbox version, you have very short time lap between each checkpoint of the race. With the Wii version of the game, the difficulty of the pod race is changed. It's easier to complete the race, which is more fun, and the challenge of the original game timing can still be played as a bonus when you collect special brick to unlock some bonus levels.

The game can be play solo or with a friend. Each player controls one of the character, in the same level, in co-op.

For the rating of the game, E10+. Despite the fact that you fight with laser guns, light sabers, etc..., I find the game not a violent one. When you strike an enemy, it simply breaks apart, in lego bricks. It's still a fight but Lego was able to bring some humor in those inevitable actions, found in about any moderm game (I miss Pong !).

I play this game with my kid (7 years old) and we have fun every time. The game has a long lifespand because each level can be played in three modes: Story mode, Free mode and Challenge mode. The first, story mode, is the default mode you must do to unlock the two seconds one. In free mode, you can change between different characters to achieve different objetives. R2-D2 opens doors, Jedis are able to move things, Jar Jar Bing can jump higher ... So in this mode, you will be able to find all the secret pieces to complete different stuctures. In challenge mode, it's a time limited level and you need to find different lego pieces as fast as you can.

I recommend this game to anyone: kids, teens, adults and grandparents ! It's easy to play with different generations because, the young ones love to play video games about movies and the older ones have fun remembering movie scenes, in a lego style.

Lego did a good job bringing key scenes and the story in a game. It's not always the case in games inspired by movies, where the only thing about the movie are the characters... Remember X-Men. And for the oldest, E.T. on Atari

I purchased this title to replace the old discs from my Xbox console. Kids can be rought with discs and a console ! I didn't regret my purchase (except for one time, when my kids interrupted my peaceful sunday morning dreams at 6am because everybody wanted to be Obi-Wan :-) )

So play it and enjoy it

Once again the Lego series makes video gaming what it was designed to be---fun. There is just enough puzzle solving to make the game have purpose---but the overall objective is simply to move a character around, smash things, and collect coins.

For pre-teens it's exactly what they love. Easy controls, bright colors, a storyline that follows the movie.

If you want a game that has mystery and in depth strategy, don't buy any of the Lego series. If you simply just want to pick up a controller and enjoy some family time, then any of the Lego series is a perfect choice.

I love this game!! It is very fun and easy to figure out! One of my favorite Lego games, I can play it over and over. Also very fun on multiplayer. I like that you have to go back with unlocked charecters to get 100% on the level. Never is boring

If you are a Star Wars fan, you will love this game. We originally bought this game for our 4 year old son. My husband and I find ourselves enjoying this game as much as our son. Trying to make it to the next episode is exciting and using the force to rebuild or move things is pretty fun too. Not to mention the unlimited lives. As an adult you wouldn't think much about this game because it has the word "LEGO" in the title. When you think of legos you think it's some lame video game for kids when actually both you and your kids can enjoy it together. I highly recommend!!!

I'd like to see more direct development for the Wii with this game. The Wii controllers don't really do anything different than a regular controller would. I'm just pushing buttons and moving a joystick. The only difference is the configuration of the buttons. But otherwise, it's a really fun game for my 6yo and I to play together. Enough action to keep his interest, but not too much violence to put me off.
