LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga brings the whole family together to play, for the first time ever, through all six Star Wars movies in one videogame.
It’s the game that never should’ve worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller’s Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top.
Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles.
For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

The force is with lego! This is where the Wii wins in the battle of the consoles.......where else can you swing your controller as a lightsaber!! The game has all 6 of the star wars movies, however I have to admit I do prefer the last 3, but I think thats just because I am more familiar with those 3 films! You can play the game in so many ways. I started by going through and just playing each level following the story, which has its own lego spin to it, which is fantastic - so funny!! Now I am going through again trying... more info
Totally entertaining and great fun to pick up & play! Fantastic game and great fun! If you're a Star Wars fan you'll love it! If you're not a Star Wars fan, you'll love the game! This was my first intro to the "Lego" games and I found that I can pick it up and play it for any amount a time - a few minutes or a few hours! It's simple yet there is so much to do and explore! The sounds are brilliant and really immerse you into the Star Wars universe! It's refreshing to find a game that doesn't involve killing/dieing and violence, but uses humourous dictations of... more info
All out fun Lego + Star Wars x Wii = Lotsa Fun Simply put, there's easily 50 hours of gameplay here to just complete the entire game. Yes, that's right, and Knights of the Old Republic was only 40. Apart from completing episodes, there's freeplay (always fun) and challenges (and some of these really do live up to their nature for the more "I want something challenging" gamer). The fact that you can't really die and the great sense of humour (plus the fact you can design and play with your own characters) makes for... more info
It's a great game, but... Lego, and Star Wars; what a fantastic idea! As a game? Well, actually yeah, that really rather works. As an easy, pick-up-and-play game, 'LEGO Star Wars: the Complete Saga' is a great addition to any young Jedi's library of entertainment. Now, I don't go around with a mind purposeful of party-pooping; but, for those of us a little more mature, I must raise a concern or two. Firstly, doesn't anyone else see, that releasing two games, and then releasing them again together, as a bit cheeky? I mean,... more info
