Just played Lego Star Wars!

Chumpski

Was in Smyths on Saturday looking for God of War. Found it going in the 2 for 40 euro deal. The only other game in the section i even recognized was lego star wars so i said might as well try it out. Have to say i was really surprised on how good it is. Really surprising considering its supposed to be a kids game and also that im not too much of a star wars fan. If you love games and if you have a passing interest in star wars, then you owe it to yourself to a least rent this game.

Can't blame you for that.

The game has got me thinking about getting star wars battlefront 2. Would anyone reccomend it?

I wish they'd make more Lego games like that... perhaps Lego Spider-man?

its better then the first one, but still no where near as good as an online version on star wars should be. best bet is to wait for the final version of battlefield 2 star wars. will be a long time though.

as for lego star wars, its great fun. and the co-op is great as well.

if you didn't know, they're making a sequel to lego star wars about the original trilogy
i'm dubious about the game, being that its for kids, i'd give it a go but theres still so many other games i wanna play

yeah i would. though avoid the PSP version. online is fun (i have the ps2 version), but you can sometimes get stuck for finding good games, which seems to be a trend in online console gaming

Lego star wars was a great game but a bit too easy

Lego star wars is an absolutely fantastic game for about 3 or 4 days. After that there's not much point in playing on. Quality though. Great fun to play co-op. Looking forward to the sequel. Will probably just rent that for a week.

Hmm, I couldn't get the damn demo of this game to run on my PC!, it wasn't a specification issue either (AMD 3700+, 2048mb RAM, 256mb GDDR3 GFX!), so maybe I missed out big time on this game as everyone I know who played it has said it's a great laugh..

Battlefield 2 Star Wars :eek:

That sounds like it could be truly amazing if it's done right, but as it's obviously a mod then it's all down to the ability of the chaps doing the mod!.

Similiar spec had issues getting it run at 800*600 , It uses Bink video which was the cause of my issues and the sound in the game kept crashing my pc.

Cracking game tho i had it on pc for the boy and "we" finished it as a team

Dont be at yourself

Lego Star Wars is one of the best games of last year, I think

I had sound issues too. The music would always get stuck in a horrible loop and the cut scenes would be out of sync.

This is why I prefer to buy games on consoles.

Lego Star wars is an excellent game. I had a ball playing it.No way is it just for kids. Why should they have all the fun?

I bought Battlefront not too long ago. I didnt think it was as good as the first one. It is improved graphic wise and all that but to me its not as good. I didnt finish it unlike the first one. I know im in the minority there though as most would say its much better.

Still haven't played this, it's on my to-do list.
The list is very long

Will do, pity theres not a decent star wars game on the ps2. They potentially could make great games.

Yeah i heard that. Ill wait for it to come out on platinun though. They are great games but very short. Not worth the full EUR 60 first day.

You're probably better off just renting it, really it's that short. I seem to remember getting lego star wars off play.com shortly after it came out for about €24. I very rarely pay full price for games anyway, there's always good deals if you shop around on the internet. I don't feel I have to play the latest games as soon as they come out either. Just ordered God of War off blahdvd.com for £10.99

Have to thank yourself for recommending this one to me. It took me 4 days of my christmas holidays to get 100% on all levels. 4 days well spent. Really fun little game.

A Lego Marvel Heros game would be the bees knees!
