Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (PS2)

After reviewing Lego Star Wars the video game, with some input from my little boy, he then asked me “why are you not writing about Lego Star Wars II? It’s better…” Hmm…..Well that’s his opinion and so here’s mine…. Pretty much everything in this game is made of Lego bricks (sorry to state the obvious!) and just like the first game there is no spoken dialogue throughout the game, just gestures (even the most famous moments in the film.) After the first game being such a success you might think a follow up game would be hard pushed to come close. But the first game was based on the 3 prequel films, and so Lego Star Wars II is based on the 3 sequel ...  Read the complete review

After the success of LEGO Star Wars back in 2005, it was inevitable the best Star Wars game would get a sequel; especially since the 2005 game was based on the bad trilogy. I have never been a fan of Star Wars but enjoyed this game. The 2005 game was a completely original game, where you played out the later Star Wars movie in a LEGO environment and as LEGO characters. It was actually quite surprising that it was good, yet a lot excellent and a made a change to see a good platforming game get a good mark in the magazines. It was also made by Travellers Tales, not LucasArts who made the movies (LucasFilm) and some of the other star Wars ...  Read the complete review

Difficulty: Very Easy Learning Curve: About 5 - 10 minutes Probably one of the most unique game series out there to date. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy offers you to play through the good star wars movies (being episode IV, V and VI) in Lego form. Where the whole game is unique, rewarding and very fun to play through many times, with, or without a friend. The gameplay is simplistic, where you'll slap your enemies, shoot them, or sabre them down, however, it doesn't deter from the games fun. You will get the chance to play through several characters from the movies, including Obi-Wan, Yoda, Luke Skywalker and even the awesome Darth ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game in the shop when it could have been cheaper to buy it online (so watch out for that). I haven't played the first star wars game so i can't compare both but i can say that this one has some great graphics and has lots of things you can do. You can unlock characters to play in the game in Free Play and you can change from one character to another by pressing one button, which i found cool as each character has their own thing they can do. You can collect points which can be used to buy characters, extras and even golden bricks. When you start the game you are in a sort of pub and you can can do different things, such as change characters costumes, buy ...  Read the complete review

Lego star wars 2 is a great game! The controls are very easy to learn and the game can be enjoyed by old and young alike!!! Obviously, everything is made out of lego bricks, this just adds to the humour of the game because what child hasn't destroyed a lego building before and seen all the bits collapse and make a profound mess? Well thats what happens in the game! If someone gets killed, they split into a bunch of lego bits and then re-incarnate! Unfortunately though, no spoken word is issued throughout the game! All the characters use gestures to convey meaning! This can be quite annoying or quite funny, depending on your outlook! Myself, and younger people of our ...  Read the complete review
