LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

"LEGO Star Wars II, like the first game, is a great entry-level title for young Star Wars fans looking to expand their videogame horizons. Its violence is never scary, its humor is always funny, and its gameplay is always fun. Sure it's easy and simple, and it does get hit by the repetition bug now and again (the lack of online play for the PC version is sorely missed too). But the bottom line is that it's a heck of a lot of fun and has a great amount of replay value beyond a single play-through. Best family game this year? Probably so."

"With childish charm, an appealing visual experience and gameplay that isn’t completely shabby, LSWII turns out to be quite a good title and for most a worthy purchase for the Xbox 360."

"The gameplay hasn't changed dramatically, but better source material makes Lego Star Wars II a better game than its predecessor."

"LEGO Star Wars is obviously making a name for itself as another fun Star Wars franchise with this, its second edition. The co-operative multiplayer carnage is great fun, though not to say that the single player missions are a bore by any means. The loads of extras and hidden missions will have you busy for a long while to come. It may not be for everyone, but for youngsters looking to get their first taste of Star Wars, parents really couldn’t do any better."

"Overall, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is a great game. It manages to beat the original without changing too much of the formula, but unfortunately the new formula still has a few wrinkles that are less forgivable for sequels. Players will either gripe about or embrace the new vehicle missions, and polygon snobs will certainly find the 360 version hard to accept. In the end, though, LSWII crams a whole lot of single and multiplayer fun into a game built- no pun intended- around Lego bricks and lightsabers."
