5 Stars Neverending fun!!
I originally bought this game for my husband and son to play together (my husband and I are both from the era of the last 3 movies). The whole family (except my 18 month old) has been addicted to it ever since, including myself! You can have three different games saved at the same time and each level has different stages to complete within it so that you can go back again and again. My son is 7 and LOVES to play it; he and his friends talk about it every day at school. It is not very violent (meaning blood and gore) and even has some funny parts. My 7 year old has a little trouble getting through some parts of the levels and needs some help, but can make it through most levels on his own. I had read some reviews before I bought it and one said if you only play for 40-50 hours, you aren’t exploring enough. I thought that was ridiculous at the time, but we have definitely logged well over 50 hours and there is still tons more to do! This is definitely the family favorite and we haven’t played any other game since we bought it. It does have some moves you can do with your Wii remote that simulate the light saber, but to be honest we don’t use that feature very often and still love the game! Highly recommend! Excellent value for the money paid.

3 Stars I think I just don’t get video games like this….
I think I just don’t get video games like this. It was not clear what I was trying to do, other than not die (which you don’t seem to be able to do; die, that is). I felt like a rat in a maze. Now, I don’t play video games much, and when I have it has been the same type of “solve the problem” situation, which is a combination of wanting to solve it and extreme boredom. The Wii was my first console, and I really enjoy the Wii Fit games for their fun and involvement.

What I really want is the old Star Wars game from the 1980s where you fly an X-Wing and destroy the Death Star. I like action. Star Wars Clone Wars offered that, as it was all light saber duels and lots of fun.

All of that said, the Lego concept is awesome. Watching the droid I accidentally sliced hop around, bits of Lego pieces falling about, and the like is just plain fun. It did not feel at all violent. Had there been some sort of plot, point, or something to do other than grasp about in the dark it could have been great.

If there is a Lego Star Wars game that lets me fly an X-Wing, let me know.

5 Stars Love the Lego games
The Lego games are similar in the things you need to do, but the story lines are all different. They are such a blast to play!

5 Stars Great for boys
I’m going to give this 5 stars based on how much my son enjoys it. He loves all things Star Wars, and asks to play this game 24/7. It’s become his threat (if you don’t comply, no Star Wars lego today) and his reward. He would sit and play this all the time if I let him, and when he’s not playing, he talks about it. I do limit him to 30 minutes a day, but that is enough time to play and get some plot in. He loves changing characters as he’s playing and mixing up the characters from the different movies to play together. You do kill things with weapons, but there’s no blood and guts, the legos just disassemble, so it is kid appropriate there, but it is a little violent in that you shoot at things to kill them. Two player is cool and the second player can come in and out. Would recommend for any Star Wars fan.

5 Stars Consider yourself in LEGO heaven!
I couldn’t wait to get this game. It has all the features that the PC game version offers. This one is just more exciting since you can play it on the big screen and feel that you are more involved in the action. A must-have for all Star Wars fans!

4 Stars Legos and Star Wars
Not much more to say. Legos and Star Wars. And on PS3. WHAT FUN!!

5 Stars Overall, the best game we have.
I have children that age from 5 to 15 and they all enjoy playing this game. How great it is to have a game that is so family friendly. There is not gore, bad language, or sexual content. The closest thing to violence is that when you “kill” an enemy, they break up into their individual lego pieces.

It works very well for a quick sit down of for long-term playing. My kids have spent hours playing it to collect all the characters, vehicles, etc. Or, I can sit down and join them for a quick multiplayer game without having had to invest a ton of timing coming up to speed on the game.

I imagine it won’t score super high with older teen boys and men because it doesn’t have the heart-pounding action as in the Teen+ rated games. This is the only reason why I didn’t give it a 5 star in fun.

I recommend the game for all families, without reservation.

5 Stars Kids LOVE this game
My kids absolutely love this game. It’s overtaken Little Big Planet as their favorite. The downside is there is non-stop violence in the game, however it’s done against Legos so it’s probably as young-child friendly as you could make it in that regard. But if they’ve watched the Star Wars movies or cartoons Lego violence is the least of your concerns. ;) The game takes FOREVER to play through, and has a lot of re-playability via the Free Play where you can choose whatever characters you want to play with. Seriously, this is the single best PS3 game I’ve bought for my kids and has probably saved me $100 as I haven’t had to buy them another game in the past 3 months. Haha.

5 Stars Incredible bargain
We played both of the original Star Wars games on the PS2. When we put them in the PS3, the graphics were a little low-res compared to Lego Indy and Lego Batman which were all HD quality. At $20, this was a bargain to get all of the graphics up-rezzed. Plus new levels and characters is awesome too.

This is the first game my daughter played when she was 3 years old. She’s now, and we’re still playing it today.

5 Stars Fun Game
This is one of my favorites - fun and sometimes challenging. The best thing for me is the cooperative play which is hard to find.

5 Stars Buy this game
My grandkids fight over who’s turn is theirs. This should be the #1 rated video game for kids, ages 6-12. It gets alot of use at our house!!

3 Stars Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
This was one of the first games I wanted to buy when I got my 360*,

Well it was and I must say This game is highly disappointing..

They redid a couple levels, added 1 New level to the actual Story line..

This game could have been Soooo much better!!!! Someone really missed to Boat..

The Challenge levels are okay, They usually take a couple of times to do..

But overall this game is far below par.. 3 1/2 stars is almost generous..

My advice is Don’t buy, Rent or borrow.. It’s not worth even the $20 buck platinum hits price..

5 Stars Timbofoster
This is a great gave for my kids. They love legos and Star Wars, so it was a perfect fit. I would recommend for all kids!

5 Stars Great Game
Great game. Love all the lego games. Hope they make some more in the future.

5 Stars Better than the original and a blast to play
Best of all worlds. I have the first Lego Star Wars that came out with only episodes IV VI. I loved the game so it was a given Id buy this one too.

Ive noticed some subtle changes to the original games IV through VI. They seem to have tweaked it further to eliminate some of the more annoying game play issues that existed. I didnt realize how bothersome they were until I played this version and found it better to play.

My only complaint, and its a minor one, is that the animation seems slower than the first game. Fight animation, particularly with the Light Saber seems a lot slower so the battles have a drag to them. Ive also noticed the in game cinematics dont seem to have the energy the first one did either. The humor is there, but just not quite as much of it. The animation isnt as quick. Im a former animator so its the one thing I tend to pick up on, and bugs me the most out of any game I play.

That said this is one of the better animated games out there and is a joy to play. I love that they included the original versions of some of the sequences as an extra. They are more linier so you get a good idea of how much goes into making a game like this. I found it very informative and fun to play those original games. Im glad they resolved the problems with them and did not ship the game with them as the final product. Good choice guys. Im sure it wasnt easy to abandon them after going so far with the design but you made the right choice.
