Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga




Building on the success of both LEGO Star Wars “block-buster” videogames, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga enables families to play through the events of all six Star Wars movies in one videogame for the first time ever.

Features:

  • Families can commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars by playing through the events of all six Star Wars movies in one videogame for the first time ever.
  • Solve puzzles that encourage creative thinking through the use of teamwork and unique building situations only possible in a LEGO galaxy far, far away.
  • Adds new levels, new characters, and new features to the fun, creativity, and tongue-in-cheek humor that made LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy such huge hits.
  • New levels, such as Episode II’s never-before-played high-speed pursuit of bounty-hunter Zam Wessell, further complete the entire Star Wars story.
  • New playable characters like Watto, Zam Wessell, Boss Nass, and more bring the total count to over 160.
  • The upgraded Character Customizer includes all Prequel Trilogy characters for the first time, while also expanding its customization options well beyond those in LEGO Star Wars II, for millions more possibilities. Create cross-Trilogy mash-up characters like Han Windu and Lando Amidala.
  • New game features include enhanced Force powers, new power-ups, and a new Challenge mode.
  • Levels from the original LEGO Star Wars are revamped to meet the gameplay evolutions of LEGO Star Wars II.
  • The Wii version provides motion-sensitive inputs that give you exciting new ways to control your LEGO Star Wars characters.

User Ratings and Reviews

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!
