You've never seen Lego look so good

Lego Star Wars is a slightly improved compilation of the highly successful series, adapted for the next-gen consoles. The controls are somewhat improved, giving a smoother feel to the gameplay than there once was. Bosses aren’t quite so mind-achingly annoying now, and the platform levels are still challenging, but not enough to make you throw your controller to the other end of the room. Play style is challenging but not boring for a young child, and yet there's still something for us older players, whether it's the sarcastic acting by the Lego cast, or the way our foes break into their lego parts... it's hard to put a finger on. Overall, the gameplay is still as engaging as ever, and enough to make you want to play the story through to the end. There has been a slight improvement in graphics. They’re sharper than before, but don’t expect too much – these are still the little shiny plastic guys of before, except now they’ve had a bit of polish. The soundtrack is appealing, and you might find yourself randomly destroying things just to hear that hum of your lightsaber once again. Or, you may kill R2-D2 every time you see him, just to hear him scream. (titter) The extra areas and features of this game are mind-boggling. They’re not a patch on some rpgs where there’s 60 hours worth of gameplay in just the main storyline, you’ll wiz through that, but when you go back through free play using every character you can imagine to reach all those studs, you’ll appreciate the thought that’s been put into each level. There’s a great amount of stuff to explore, and I strongly suggest that you do so when you get the chance. A Highly replayable game. Whether you were a fan from the start or are curious but never got around to playing, I highly recommend this game to you.
