The first LEGO Star Wars video game let you play through the action and adventure of the Star Wars movies, with Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala and more as LEGO heroes! It was a blast and won the 2005 Game of the Year award here at Kidzworld. Now there's a sequel with LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy! This new game lets you play through the classic Star Wars movies with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3P0, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader! Get the scoop on this game with Gary's game review.

LEGO Star Wars II - Space Adventures

LEGO Star Wars II packs three movies worth of LEGO-ized Star Wars action into one game. It has adventure levels where you run around blasting bad guys as Jedi Knights, bounty hunters and aliens. It also has levels where you hop into X-Wing starfighters, Snowspeeders, or even TIE Fighters as you battle the Emperor's evil Galactic Empire. The levels are for one or two players, and the second player can join or leave in the middle of the game. You can also ride animals around, or drive vehicles, like AT-STs. The other new thing is that you can mix 'n match LEGO parts to build any character you want, from Darth Chewbacca to the Emperor in a swimsuit!

LEGO Star Wars II - Rockin' Space Action

This game has it all! Huge levels, cool boss battles, tons of stuff to collect, secret stages, wicked space combat, puzzles to get your brain going and more. But, the best thing about this game is that it has a great sense of humor! The levels are packed with goofy stuff, from guitar-playin' guards, to Stormtroopers in their swimsuits.

LEGO Star Wars II - Video Game Flaws

The only bummers about this game are that some of the vehicles are a bit clunky and have weird glitches, and that it's based on old movies that you might not have seen.

LEGO Star Wars II - Awesome or Awful?

It's incredible! Not only is it super easy to play and fun from the second you turn it on, it's packed, absolutely jam-packed, with secret items, hidden mini-games, bonus collectibles and other cool things to do. You'll be able to play this hilarious game until your fingers fall off and you'll love every minute of it, even if you don't like Star Wars that much!
