Its really a platform/hack and slash game. What makes it fun is the way everythings made of Lego and it has that quirky part to it. Explosions with lego pieces are cool and seeing legomen swinging lightsabers around is a laugh.
Plus never underestimate just how cool it is to see the likes of Darth Maul and Jango Fett in lego form. Couldn't help but laugh through the whole 2 on 1 fight against Darth Maul because its so funny to see this little midget version in a hood running around - you just can't take it seriously. ;-)
By the end of it, you just really want a version based on episodes IV, V and VI to come out, cause you're left thinking of cool moments in those films that would be so cool to play through in lego form. Hoth, Endor and the Death Star trench run to name a few.
I had that same feeling when I beat Republic Commando. Couldn't help but think of playing as a Stormtrooper through the other films battles. That would be so cool !
Anyway, Star Wars Lego is at least worth a rent. Its a game thats supposed to end up being crap, but then turns out to be a surprise hit. The camera angle in the game can be a complete git which could have easily been dealt with cause of the simple controls (just add it to the right analogue and let the player move it). But other than that its pretty sound. :-)
Oh and Star Wars Lego is cool ! Gotta get back to that ! ;-)
