Oh...Star Wars....what can I say. For the past three weeks, I have had the pleasure of playing this awesome game. I was a little hesitant because I thought the graphics would be cheesy (the are all Lego characters), but, to my amazement, they are awesome. The goal of the game is to capture certain items to create objects to be used in bigger missions like battling star destroyers or destroying the Death Star. In order to create these items, two players (another person or the computer) must work together to capture canisters, blocks, coins, and small packages while avoiding danger and death. Each character has their own unique traits, which make the lovable or annoying. For example, Jedi (good and bad) can double jump, use the forces, and battle with light sabers; whereas, civilians have blasters and cool gadgets to get up to high places. There are also Jawas, Ewoks, Jar Jar Bink-ish characters, droids, sand people, etc., that are good for other things like getting into tight places, swimming, and opening portals. This game is simply amazing because it combines everything we love about Star Wars and turns it into an action packed, fun, and exhilarating game complete with original soundtrack.
