4 Stars Fun for kids
My 7 year old boy loves this game. It does have some areas that are tricky but he absolutely loves this game.

5 Stars maaas fiiiiiiiiiiino!!!!!!!
This game is great!…i’m having a lot of fun, and after all the shooting and killing with CoD4, this is very relaxing!

5 Stars A Great Game
I am not much for Star Wars Games in general but this one took me by suprize. I picked this up in one of those cut out bin things around christmas time for around 19.00. It was more then worth that. The graphics on the xbox 360 are incredible. There are alotta familiar faces and well known star wars characters. The levels are easier then most other star wars games I played. The lego people make it a cute ,fun game to play. The storelines are great. The levels are fun. there is also achievements on this that you unlock as you go up in levels etc. This here is one of my faves so far that I have for the xbox 360.

2 Stars Kind of sad
I’ll keep this review short.

I don’t like this game. It feels very clunky, and the level design(for all three movies) isn’t good. Example: On the Return of the Jedi level 1. You can use Luke Skywalker, and slice through Gimmorian guards with your lightsaber. Well, it’s more like blocking with your lightsaber until their attacks are done, and then hitting them 3, or 4 times to stop them. This gets old realy, really fast. Especially since they keep constantly popping out and attacking. It’s the equal of cutting a steak with a butter knife. It’s just plain awkward. Overall this game just felt rushed, and I was shocked that so many game reviewers gave it good marks. Indiana Jones Lego is so much more superior that I can’t even put the two games on the same level. I’m hoping the Batman Lego game is done well like Indiana Jones was.

4 Stars Excellent game to play with non-gamers
There are 3 things most gamers universally like: cooperative play modes, star wars, and Legos. This game delivers on all 3.

It is especially fun to play with non-gamer types (children, significant others, etc) as there is relatively no punishment for dying.

The cutscenes add a humorous flair to a story everybody already knows, and the clever level design will have you replaying this game over and over.

1 Star knights of the old republic
As a big Star Wars fan ,I went out and got xbox just for this game.As far as a Star wars game this is the worst game,you make all the decisions on what to do, and the game acts it out. This is not a first person shooter.AS far as Star Wars fans go don’t bother this game stinks

5 Stars Cool little freebie
Comes with the game if you pay full retail for the game from the Lucas Arts website. Save a little if you order them both seperately here.

A nice letter opener, in a very high quality I was not expecting. If it didn’t come with such a geek stigma, I would use it at work. I’ll save this one forever.

1 Star This isn’t the game.
Just a warning for all the folks out there that might be snapping this one up, this does not include the game. This is just a little lightsabre that was given out to people who preordered. I don’t know why Amazon is selling it separately, but nothing here seems to make quite that distinction (which my family found out the hard way).

3 Stars Neetoe-freetoe(as we used to say in school)
It’s just a silly prop(I’m not buying it just saying.) It could be played with, if your drunk, high(be carefull with that!), or just plain silly like me. It’s mainly a novelty used to put the KotOR into perspective(well, scale perspective). Oh, and I think it probably stinks, most plastic toys out today do. Some kind of safety thing I guess.

5 Stars Best RPG ever..period!!!!
The people at Lucas Art have outdone themselves!!! In short this is without a doubt the best RPG game ever. I must admit when starting the game it was a bit complicated to figure everything out, but by the first hour you’ll get it all down. If you want to buy a Star Wars game this is the one. It may however spoil you its that good. I can’t wait till the next game from this company comes out!! Its a bummer when the game ends, you just want it to go on forever.
