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.

 Nostalgic Fun For All Ages November 26, 2007

Lego Star Wars is never going to win awards for complexity or for being particularly challenging. You can't 'die' (although characters can be reduced to their constituent bricks they reappear shortly afterwards), the puzzles encountered aren't massively complex and the graphics, based as they are around Lego, are suitably 'blocky'. In other words hard core gamers aren't going to rush out and buy this for its stunning visuals or amazing gameplay.
Despite this however, The Complete Saga deserves its stars purely for being exactly what it is intended to be; a fun game that is true to the two things that spawned it, Star Wars & Lego. With controls that are easy to master (and allow for easy two player action), expansive levels that recreate (in Lego of course) all the worlds encountered in the six Star Wars movies to explore and a sly sense of humour, like both the films and the bricks this is fun for all the family. Add in the opportunity to control the likes of Obi Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, Han Solo and all the other iconic characters from the films, all set to John Williams' classic score, and you have close to the perfect game for children and nostalgic adults everywhere.
There are minor niggles of course, including the fact that there is no manual save option available (you have to wait for the autosave to kick in), which can be frustrating when gameplay has to be interrupted, and some of the levels are so simple they would barely challenge five year old, but they're barely worth mentioning here.
The only real disappointment is how little use the game makes of the Wiimote interface. Shaking the Wiimote will result in some lightsabre swinging, but its very imprecise and is about the extent of the use that the game makes of the Wii's unique controller. Infact the game requires the use of the Nunchuk in addition to the Wiimote, and the controls are pretty traditional in most respects. This is a shame, but almost certainly the result of the fact that the game has been developed for multiple platforms and not exclusively for the Wii.
Get past that disappointment however, and this is still a great game. Yes, it breaks no new ground, but its fun and pushes emotional buttons in ways that are hard to resist.

We bought the wii for our children for christmas, but they didn't really enjoy it as much as we expected until we bought them this game. They can't stop playing this, being big fans of lego and starwars this is perfect for them. They are 7 and 4, and all their friends in the street are addicted too.

I bought this game for the Wii, although I do own both LSW and LSWII for the GameCube, and as everyone knows I could just play them back on my Wii.
However I just couldn't resist!
If your thinking you get to use your Wii remote like a lightsaber, think again, yes ok, some gestures will allow you to strike the enemies and stuff, but it isn't true "lightsaber"
That aside, the Wii controls are quite limited, I find myself using it like a normal controller now and then, although waggling the controllers while building / using the force helps speed that up.
So how does this compare to the originals?
Well I have to say thinking "oh I know where all the secrets are and all the Mini-Kits" I thought I would be able to complete the game in no time. (although it took me and a friend 3 hours to complete LSW's originally)
BUT I was wrong, nothing was in the right place, there are new parts to old levels, and parts have been changed, I had to forget where all the secrets where, which is a good thing!
New levels, and a huge character selection is always great, they have got the best of both games and slapped it into one!
The Wii graphics are an improvement, but hey its lego? how good does it have to be?
The comedy is all there, and although most people would think it takes the mick, it actually follows the story of the movies very well!
The game features drop in / drop out play, which is always nice, as you don't have to pause the game or start the level again if your friend / brother / sister / aunt / mum / dad or pet cat, needs to leave the room, or leave altogether!
Whats even better is the game supports HDTV's (with the use of the Component cable of course) My LSW games for the Cube had a weird time through the component cable, so it is nice to play it crystal clear, the way games are meant to be played!
Playing through the complete StarWars saga, as the emperor was a pleasure that I would never forget.
It is fun to play, single or multi-player, and is easy to pickup and play, no long boring tutorials that tell you every aspect of the game straight away that everyone knows you will forget after the first 10 minutes of playing.
Difficulty isn't too hard, as their are no lives, if your character dies (or explodes) you loose some "studs" (the credits in the game) and thats it.
Oh as I mentioned Studs, I think it is time to let you know, these "Studs" can be used to buy certain unlockable extras, like more characters to tips and cheats (you may have to find some special items in games (red/gold blocks) to unlock the cheats available to buy) And trust me, you will want to use the Invicibility cheat in freeplay if your trying for the "true jedi" (where you have to collect tonnes of studs filling up a meter) or even if you are trying to collect all the Mini-Kits.
In fact, I could possibly write a 500 page essay about all the neat features of Lego Star Wars, but I won't, unless you really want me too.
In short, the game has a LOAD and when I mean a LOAD I mean a L-O-A-D of replay value! and it is always fun playing with your friends, and even on your own!
A highly reccomended game for Fans of both Lego and StarWars. Although if you already have the two original games, and don't think it is worth getting this one, your probably right.
Me I loved the two original games, I spent a lot of hours playing both (completed LSW 100% - completed LSW 2 89%) and now I am playing the complete saga, and love it every bit of it! In fact I am thinking of turning in the two originals! as this game has it all!
Well Done Travellers Tales/Lucas Arts, for not just pumping out two for one game, but actually taking care in making it a great game, The game plays like there were no "Lego StarWars" or "Lego StarWars II" it plays like it is the first of its kind.
If you haven't got Lego StarWars because you think it is for kids, well think again! I would rather spend a few hours on LSW then on Final Fantasy, and that is saying something, I love Final Fantasy!
Oh. PS. on a side note, turn up the Wii Remote volume for some lightsaber "whaum" sounds! its those Gimmicky touches that just make you smile.
Thought it would have more lightsabre swinging action!! February 23, 2008

I bought a Wii for the family this Christmas, hoping it would get my six year old off his bum, and up on his feet - rather than sitting staring at the tv screen whilst on the playstation, exercising his thumbs! The wii sports games all do this which is fantastic, and so when I bought the lego star wars game I imagined him up on his feet, jumping round the lounge fighting droids, swinging his remote around like a light sabre - sadly not! The controls can be used without the motions - now he just stands in front of the tv, with his hands by his sides, controlling the lego men, again, with his thumbs!! Mission unaccomplished!! He loves it though, and loves trying to get to the next level - my husband regularly joins him in combat!! All in all a fun game - shame it doesn't make the most of wii's capabilities.
 It's a great game, but... July 14, 2008

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, I like to make money as much as the next guy, but why didn't you just bang all six into the first game? It doesn't even really seem to offer much in the way of newness either. Obviously, there's the combined movies in one game, and the functionality of the Wii-mote, but if you've just finished the two older games on another console, you're not going to miss out on much.
Also, I felt that this game was a little slack in some areas. For example, the Wii-mote was not terribly responsive to my commands, and indeed, I found it somewhat tiresome to be constantly swinging my arms around, and eventually just ended up using the directional pad, which, I thought, almost nullified the whole point of playing it on the Wii (though this could relate more to the Wii on the whole, rather than just this game). The game itself, whilst being what it is, still feels quite, well, mindless.
Now, I do understand the whole point of this game, but it still left me feeling, like I was just doing the same thing all of the time; that was a little boring.
On the whole, however, I don't want to disillusion you by saying this game is bad; it isn't. Taking a step back, 'LEGO Star Wars' is a humorous, nostalgic and amusing game, and not a bad way to invest in ~£30; in fact, if you've just picked up a Wii for your little Anakin Skywalker, or fancy waving your arms around, Skywalker style, then I really can't think of a better game to get started on. Just know that a lot of people like to get very excited about things, and that sometimes it's better to buy with open eyes, than with rose-tinted glasses.
