Advantages: Multi-player, funny, lots of replay value

Disadvantages: Vehicle levels could be better i.e. like the first level in episode 3 in the first game.

This is the second game in the Lego Star Wars series and the first game Lego game I bought. It was developed by Tell Tale games who are most famous for their Sam and Max series and have been said by many to be the only game developer to get episodic gaming right.

As the name suggest this deals with the stories in episodes 4, 5 and 6 i.e. the original trilogy. If you are looking for a serious realistic star wars game then this isn't it as it makes the story its own and adds a lot of comedy to the cutscenes. The graphics are pretty good but in a game like this it shouldn't really matter. The sound is generally brilliant with a lot of the music from the movies in the game. The gameplay is basically a platformer/action there are also some puzzles as well. The gameplay also varies depending on your character i.e. Jedi's can build stuff with the force, other people may have guns that allow them to access higher areas. There are also some vehicles and there are a few levels entirely dedicated to vehicles i.e. the death star run and Hoth.

This is a brilliant game, there is plenty of replayability with many things to unlock and also if you want to collect all the gems in a level. The co-op play works great and the cutscenes will have you in stitches.

Summary: Another great outing for Lego Star Wars
