My brother in-law and I had a marathon session (8:00PM until 4:00AM) playing Lego Star Wars II Saturday night. The two player co-op is excellent. It's not split screen, you share the whole screen (like Hunter the Reckoning) but the camera angles work much better in Lego Star Wars II. We did not seem to get stuck or dragged along by each other very often. My wife even enjoyed playing and watching this game with us. Definitely a high WAF factor.

At one point we did run into a little glitch. During "Return Of The Jedi" after the Speedster chase, we had to make our way up a large platform in the forest, and catapult one of our characters onto an AT-AT. At this point my brother fell off the platform and he did not die like he should have. He was trapped on the ground below the platform and could not get back up. We tried killing him with the AT-AT so he would re-spawn on the platform, but could not figure out a way to kill him, witch is very odd because I am usually very good at killing my co-op partners We ended up having to restart the level.

I hated this demo. Absolutely hated it. I hated it so much that when I started it I thought I would only be playing for about 5-10 minutes (since I was tired and wanted to get some sleep) and ended up playing for almost 2 hours!!! It was so dang addicting!! So incredibly simple yet so much dang fun!!! I hated it because I got so sucked into it!

It is ESRB rated at 10+ so my 5 year old won't be playing it, but I definitely had a blast (no pun intended) playing the demo last night. I finished the levels and then went back for free play and destroyed all kinds of stuff and created a random mixed character and then got True Jedi and stuff. Man was it fun. I can only imagine how much fun it would be in co-op!

If I don't buy this, I will definitely have to rent it and play the heck out of it. If I had someone to play coop with I'd buy it in a heartbeat! What a sleeper hit. Awesome! I've always liked LucasArts games and their sense of humor. Remember the old Monkey Island games on the PC - those were a blast!

I bought it on the PSP, and absolutely love it. That game is crack. Pure and simple. Crack with droids, and wookies. Wookie-crack. Wack.


Yeah, I'll stop.

My 8 year old is currently playing the OG box version, and he absolutely loves it. While it's still a fairly simple game, the comedy and attention to detail based on the movies is excellent.

We did get stuck a couple of times, but I found that it was easiest to hit start and elect to "drop out." We were then able to start back up again without having to restart the level.

Anyway, it's a fun game that the kiddies are sure to enjoy!

The OG XBOX verision bored me - at least the demo I played did. This demo has me intrigued even though I don't care about Star Wars. I loved Legos as a child and this is pretty entertaining. NBA 2K7 will keep me busy for awhile though, knowing I don't have much time to game anymore and 2K7 is very impressive.
