Amazon.co.uk Review
It's the game that never should've worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller's Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top. Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles. For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

 Its Lego Baby! March 13, 2008

I bought this game for the Wii, although I do own both LSW and LSWII for the GameCube, and as everyone knows I could just play them back on my Wii.
However I just couldn't resist!
If your thinking you get to use your Wii remote like a lightsaber, think again, yes ok, some gestures will allow you to strike the enemies and stuff, but it isn't true "lightsaber"
That aside, the Wii controls are quite limited, I find myself using it like a normal controller now and then, although waggling the controllers while building / using the force helps speed that up.
So how does this compare to the originals?
Well I have to say thinking "oh I know where all the secrets are and all the Mini-Kits" I thought I would be able to complete the game in no time. (although it took me and a friend 3 hours to complete LSW's originally)
BUT I was wrong, nothing was in the right place, there are new parts to old levels, and parts have been changed, I had to forget where all the secrets where, which is a good thing!
New levels, and a huge character selection is always great, they have got the best of both games and slapped it into one!
The Wii graphics are an improvement, but hey its lego? how good does it have to be?
The comedy is all there, and although most people would think it takes the mick, it actually follows the story of the movies very well!
The game features drop in / drop out play, which is always nice, as you don't have to pause the game or start the level again if your friend / brother / sister / aunt / mum / dad or pet cat, needs to leave the room, or leave altogether!
Whats even better is the game supports HDTV's (with the use of the Component cable of course) My LSW games for the Cube had a weird time through the component cable, so it is nice to play it crystal clear, the way games are meant to be played!
Playing through the complete StarWars saga, as the emperor was a pleasure that I would never forget.
It is fun to play, single or multi-player, and is easy to pickup and play, no long boring tutorials that tell you every aspect of the game straight away that everyone knows you will forget after the first 10 minutes of playing.
Difficulty isn't too hard, as their are no lives, if your character dies (or explodes) you loose some "studs" (the credits in the game) and thats it.
Oh as I mentioned Studs, I think it is time to let you know, these "Studs" can be used to buy certain unlockable extras, like more characters to tips and cheats (you may have to find some special items in games (red/gold blocks) to unlock the cheats available to buy) And trust me, you will want to use the Invicibility cheat in freeplay if your trying for the "true jedi" (where you have to collect tonnes of studs filling up a meter) or even if you are trying to collect all the Mini-Kits.
In fact, I could possibly write a 500 page essay about all the neat features of Lego Star Wars, but I won't, unless you really want me too.
In short, the game has a LOAD and when I mean a LOAD I mean a L-O-A-D of replay value! and it is always fun playing with your friends, and even on your own!
A highly reccomended game for Fans of both Lego and StarWars. Although if you already have the two original games, and don't think it is worth getting this one, your probably right.
Me I loved the two original games, I spent a lot of hours playing both (completed LSW 100% - completed LSW 2 89%) and now I am playing the complete saga, and love it every bit of it! In fact I am thinking of turning in the two originals! as this game has it all!
Well Done Travellers Tales/Lucas Arts, for not just pumping out two for one game, but actually taking care in making it a great game, The game plays like there were no "Lego StarWars" or "Lego StarWars II" it plays like it is the first of its kind.
If you haven't got Lego StarWars because you think it is for kids, well think again! I would rather spend a few hours on LSW then on Final Fantasy, and that is saying something, I love Final Fantasy!
Oh. PS. on a side note, turn up the Wii Remote volume for some lightsaber "whaum" sounds! its those Gimmicky touches that just make you smile.

Ever wondered what it would be like to play out all 6 star wars films then wonder no more. Choose any of the 6 star wars films from the start and plsy through the storyline of each, great graphics, loads of levels, loads of fun, my only little gripe is that you cant really die, when you do you just regenerate, however this is only a very small gripe as to what is a great game. Since i bought it i havent put it down, and i havent done that for a whilst with ANY game. Get it now and may the force be with you !
Excellecent- Warning Buy in UK only... June 1, 2008

Much has been written about this so for a game play point for View there's nothing I can add.
However be WARNED, many people have been buying games from .de & .fr without problems examples: Wii fit,Mario Kart, Links Cross Bow Training etc- These game are in 5 languages inc English so will work on your UK console in English.
LEGO Star wars by Activision :is not- IN France it is sold in French only, IN Germany -German only, so unless you want to play in either of these 2 languages don't buy from .de & .fr other wise you will disappointed.
.de & .fr sell many things that can be used in English on the wii- if there are other games, then check first, as Both sites have help(Aide:fr), (Hilfe-:de)-(found on their site at bottom of page under other country names), in English and .de will answer any question's in English
I live in France and had to buy from another well know UK high street games shop(omline) , that agreed to send it to me in France. I do play french games, but this I wanted in English.
Hope this is off use ,as .de does have stock & Uk is out- and I would not want anyone to assume that because many people are currently buying other games from those sites that this 1 would have worked in English- as sadly it does not- Unless you buy from UK.
P.S You can always use Topic forum on uk site to ask, as it only will takes a few minutes for some to check whether there games is a 5 a language one, or like me posted a topic on .de- as posters are very helpful (and I even wrote Post in English- got an excellent/fast response from a German Guy).

Only just getting my first ever computer/game machine I am still learning but love my WII. This is the 2nd game I have bought for my 4 year old boy and myself. Taking some learning but the graphics are excellent. can be frustrating when we cant work out what to do next... enter the 6 year old nephew. taking me to new levels of play.(asking me to get him to the next bit which happens but dont ask me how) I would highly reccommend although I am definateley not an expert....

We bought the wii for our children for christmas, but they didn't really enjoy it as much as we expected until we bought them this game. They can't stop playing this, being big fans of lego and starwars this is perfect for them. They are 7 and 4, and all their friends in the street are addicted too.
