Amazon.co.uk Review
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.

 Genius + Genius = Lego Star Wars January 28, 2008

Whoever originally created the concept of combining lego & star wars should be given a knighthood (if they were british). Lego is easily one of the most popular "toys" that kids play with, and more predominantly, is popular with those in their 20-30's who would have definitely played with it when they were young. Star Wars is something which captivates children and really draws them in, and overall has universal appeal.
This game draws perfectly on these synergies, in that it appeals to kids who are playing with lego & watching star wars for the first time, and adults who used to play lego and loved the star wars films. This cross-market appeal has to be why this, or particularly it's parent games of Lego star wars 1 & 2 (LSW), has been so successful.
With respect to the game itself, where to begin? The graphics really shine, and despite being relatively simple, are very colourful and match the gameplay extremely well. The game is also full of humour, and although it faithfully recreates many scenes from the films, it also adds it's own twist on them, usually by using just the actions/reactions of the mute lego characters. This works brilliantly and goes to show that hiring voice actors, good or bad, is not always neccessary if superb animation can tell the story itself.
With regards to the value fo the item, I played the original LSW and bought the LSW 2 before eventually trading it in, but I still felt inclined to purchase this, mainly because it marries the two film trilogies together, and adds a few new features/levels here and there. Quite a few of the flying/shooting levels from the first LSW have been redesigned in the LSW 2 mould, and now play much better.
It also incorporates an online mode, which works relatively well, mainly due to the game's simplicity.
Overall, a fun, colourful game for all ages, and worth buying even if you own one of the originals.
A game for the young and old alike!!! November 11, 2007

Only had this game a day or two and am loving it. The graphics are great and the sounds are very realistic to Star Wars. Let my 5 year old have a go today too and 6 hours later he was still playing it and loving every second.
Have to say this is the best Lego Star Wars game I have played.
An example of perfect video game design. March 12, 2008

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is one of the best games ever made. There are three reasons for this, firstly it is very fun. The gameplay is perfectly designed so that the levels can be finished by a young child without too much frustration. However, they have also been designed to incorporate so much depth, so many opportunities to go back and find things you missed before, that the older gamer has plenty to see here too.
Secondly, Lego Star Wars looks wonderful through its simplicity. The game does not overreach itself and looks fantastic as a cute, cartoony game that still manages to be absorbing. Graphic power isn't important but presentation is, this game succeeds.
Thirdly, this is one of the most authentic, entertaining Star Wars games ever made. A delightfully charming, tongue-in-cheek approach to the series is taken and it works perfectly.
This game should be played by everyone.

A little too addictive January 12, 2008

Having had enough of playing FPS for the moment I thought a bit of silliness was in order. This game is well crafted and follows the story lines of films very well. Works for both kids and adults, being quite addictive for both. The graphics are not what I would expect from a next gen console but the suit the game.
The game play is very simple and you get the chance to go back through levels and find secret areas (good luck) and complete things by the clock.
Overall - If you want hours of game play (I'm on about 20 only 3/4 through the game) and the occasional laugh then this game is for you... Enjoy.
