Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Wii)
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. Editorial Manufacturer's Description LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga brings the whole family together to play, for the first time ever, through all six Star Wars movies in one videogame. Developer Traveller's Tales adds new levels, new characters and new features to this tongue-in-cheek take on the Star Wars galaxy, as well as enhanced graphics and other unique functionalities serving the strengths of all next-generation consoles. From the Trade Federation's piece offering with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn to the space battle above Endor, The Complete Saga is everything you experienced in both LEGO Star Wars games and more. All out fun Review date: 2008-08-01 Rating: 10 out of 10 Lego + Star Wars x Wii = Lotsa Fun Simply put, there's easily 50 hours of gameplay here to just complete the entire game. Yes, that's right, and Knights of the Old Republic was only 40. Apart from completing episodes, there's freeplay (always fun) and challenges (and some of these really do live up to their nature for the more "I want something challenging" gamer). The fact that you can't really die and the great sense of humour (plus the fact you can design and play with your own characters) makes for great gaming - whether or not you play with a friend. My only quibble with it is that it doesn't have a split screen like most multiplayer games, but the game still has TONS for you to do. Bargain at current prices. Oh - and did I mention I've been dying for a console that let me weild a lightsaber properly ever since I was a kid? Well, the Wii doesn't quite let you control it entirely, but it's pretty close! AccessoriesReviewsIt's a great game, but... Review date: 2008-07-14 Rating: 6 out of 10 Lego, and Star Wars; what a fantastic idea! As a game? Well, actually yeah, that really rather works. As an easy, pick-up-and-play game, 'LEGO Star Wars: the Complete Saga' is a great addition to any young Jedi's library of entertainment. Now, I don't go around with a mind purposeful of party-pooping; but, for those of us a little more mature, I must raise a concern or two. Firstly, doesn't anyone else see, that releasing two games, and then releasing them again together, as a bit cheeky? I mean, I like to make money as much as the next guy, but why didn't you just bang all six into the first game? It doesn't even really seem to offer much in the way of newness either. Obviously, there's the combined movies in one game, and the functionality of the Wii-mote, but if you've just finished the two older games on another console, you're not going to miss out on much. Also, I felt that this game was a little slack in some areas. For example, the Wii-mote was not terribly responsive to my commands, and indeed, I found it somewhat tiresome to be constantly swinging my arms around, and eventually just ended up using the directional pad, which, I thought, almost nullified the whole point of playing it on the Wii (though this could relate more to the Wii on the whole, rather than just this game). The game itself, whilst being what it is, still feels quite, well, mindless. Now, I do understand the whole point of this game, but it still left me feeling, like I was just doing the same thing all of the time; that was a little boring. On the whole, however, I don't want to disillusion you by saying this game is bad; it isn't. Taking a step back, 'LEGO Star Wars' is a humorous, nostalgic and amusing game, and not a bad way to invest in ~£30; in fact, if you've just picked up a Wii for your little Anakin Skywalker, or fancy waving your arms around, Skywalker style, then I really can't think of a better game to get started on. Just know that a lot of people like to get very excited about things, and that sometimes it's better to buy with open eyes, than with rose-tinted glasses. Be prepared... Review date: 2008-07-04 Rating: 10 out of 10 Its fun on your own and even more fun with someone else. My husband and I have played this so much. I don't think I'd realised how completely addicted to this we would become... its fun, and humorous, and ensured many a late night whilst we did just one more level! I love this game! Excellecent- Warning Buy in UK only... Review date: 2008-06-01 Rating: 10 out of 10 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). Building a reputation Review date: 2008-05-31 Rating: 10 out of 10 I have gotten both Lego Star wars and Lego Star wars the original trilogy for the Playstation 2 however when I heard that they were making a saga edition I had to get it. I love the Playstation version of the games and I couldn't wait to try it out on the wii. It was defiantly worth the wait. The saga edition is basically both of the games put into one, with little extra bits added in such as the vastly increased character collection, the game has also added one new storyline level where in episode 2 you get to chase Sam the bounty hunter through the city of Courasant. Bonus features have been added to the games as well, there is an entire room of bonus features that you can unlock by buying the golden bricks, this new room allows you to play through the original versions of levels in the game that have been changed slightly, it also adds new levels to add to the games extra's. I personally think that it was worth every penny however if I didn't get it for the wii I wouldn't have bothered buying it due to the fact that the wii allowed you to swing the wii remote and be able to move the lightsaber, if I had to get it for PS3 or 2 I would have got it because it would have been to similar to the originals. If you have never played this game before I would suggest it for any console, but if you have the originals for the PS2 and you want to get it for the PS3 I wouldn't suggest it however I have never played the PS3 version personally I wouldn't bother getting it. Overall a brilliant game from start to finish. I would just like to add that if you don't already know there will be a Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman coming out this year, and they look just as promising as the Star wars.
