Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
The surprise hit of 2005 is back and this time it’s moved on from the prequels and onto “proper” Star Wars. It may sound like one of the worst excesses of marketing hell but this is good enough to rejuvenate your love for both video games and Star Wars (and Lego)!
The lowdown:
As ridiculous as the idea sounds this is one of the few games that really can be played by all ages, from tots to grandparents - the game even adjusts its difficultly level on the fly depending how well you’re doing. The graphics are absolutely hilarious as the game pokes gentle fun at all the films and characters and uses the Lego motif so you can build new structures and objects as you go. With more playable characters than ever each now has their own special move, such as Chewbacca’s ability to pull the arms off Stormtroopers, and you can get in and out of vehicles whenever you want in some levels.
Most exciting moment:
The game features a large number of vehicles to drive, including landspeeders and AT-STs. You can also ride a Dewback which excretes an ominous looking brown Lego stud if you press a button…
Since you ask:
The all important two player co-op mode from the first game is still in the sequel, plus you can now design your own characters out of component Lego pieces. Darth Greedo, anyone?
The bottom line:
The Force is strong with this one.

Customer Review: Don’t be a cynic - play it!!
Ok.. so this game sounds childish and silly - just for 3 years olds right? Wrong.
I am 28 and my partner is 29 and we are addicted. Its brilliant!! It takes aaages to get all the achievment points and there’s just tons of super fun game play here. It’s not too easy (I was worried that it might be) and its not too hard.
Positives: The amount of characters, levels, ships,minigames and the sheer fun value you get out of this game, whether playing it alone or in co-op mode. The star wars lego cut-scenes are hilarious!
Negatives: not many to be honest.. depth perception can be difficult. Sometimes the camera angles can be awkward. In co-op mode you cannot sign in with a second profile and unlock the achievements for both. Only player one will get the credit. The levels with the ships can be a bit chaotic…
All in all this is just brilliant, I was really surprised.
Customer Review: Fun to play…Incredibly Frustrating To Save!
I like this game a lot. It’s a laugh to play as you go through the various famous Star Wars scenes and stuff as a Lego character (the Lego Boombox that blasts out a heavy metal version of the Imperial March, making Gamorrean guards rock out is one of the best things I’ve seen!) However, I find trying to save your progress in this game EXTREMELY frustrating! For some reason when you clear a chapter and your autosave kicks in, it doesn’t save your progress properly and you end up right back at the Mos Eisley cantina when you reload your game. Not cool.
I plan to keep playing this game and figure out what’s going wrong, but that in itself is something no gamer should have to do. In short, great game, LOUSY saving system!

Customer Review: No Problems - Excellent
I bought my 360 Elite on 27/12/07, and so far have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with it. I’m completely satisfied with it. It might be a little noisier than other consoles I’ve owned, but no more than the average home PC, and when you consider the similarities between the two, it’s easy to dismiss the noise. Besides, it’s not jet-engine loud, it’s more of a low hum. I work for an electrical goods store, and the Premium model we have running on our display there has been there since the day the console was first released, and that has not developed any problems either. The thing both these machines have in common is that they are given plenty of room to breathe, and by that I don’t mean “make sure you don’t stack other electrical devices on top of it”, I mean they both have a lot of clear space around the intakes. One of the technicians I’ve spoken to reckons the majority of the time he examines a machine with the Red Ring Of Death, the guts of the machine come out looking like ashtrays. Is that Microsoft’s fault? No. Do NOT smoke around electrical devices. Especially not ones that have fans designed to draw in cool, smoke-free air. You are just asking for trouble, even when you consider the fact that Microsoft now has a 3 year instant replacement policy in place from date of purchase. Treat your machine like the piece of specialised equipment it is, and you should be fine.
Customer Review: it aint that good
There are better things to do with your money than buy this piece of junk. Playstation 3 springs to mind. This will be the year for the playstation to rise from the ashes. The console was not well thought out and was rushed to the shelves to take advantage of th gap in the market.
