"Lego Star Wars"

Okay, I was hoping somebody else would start talking about this and I could casually join in without having to admit to anything, but as that hasn't happened, I have to admit... I bought a "kid's" game.

Excellent fun though! Anybody agree? I had a little fun on Episode III which managed to give away a few little plot details (there really aren't many left at all now for this movie) and also spent some time running through Episode I.

It might be simple stuff (well, it definitely is, even making TimeSplitters 3 look hard by comparison), but its somehow excellent fun and often quite funny. My only criticism so far is that duels between two human players tend to reach stalemate quite quickly because of the excellent blocking achieved by quick mashing of the square button. My advice: convince them you're working together then surprise the other player with some sneaky back sabering.

Any thoughts?

Looks crap.

:X

Actually I meant a 2p co-op :)

Looks like a purchase in the non too distant future then!

Ta for the info

I don't yet know if it has a specific vs mode, but it definitely has a co-op mode. At any point in the game, a second player can press "start" and join in with the action. The only minor annoyance there is that the camera won't let you get too far apart, (at one point this led to a jump across a gap being cut short by the camera resulting in a long fall). Other than that its excellent fun, taking full advantage of the co-op potential (the usual use of the force/levers etc... to aid eachother across obstacles).

If you definitely want a vs mode though, then you can make your own (if there isn't a specific mode). Simply go into 2P co-op and attack eachother. There is no limit on lives - you just lose collectibles when you are smashed to pieces) so early in the levels, there's no harm in the odd duel.

So far played a few chapters, excellent. Stuck on the pod racer part at the moment.

Sounds good. I think i'll wait for a few weeks or i'll never get any revision for my exams done.

There are space-flight sections too.

Ive just watched a trailer for it and it looks really funny.

Im going to have to get this soon. Is it all walking around hitting people with your light sabre, or do you get to fly the space ships too?

I played this at Gamestars Live last year. I thought it was excellent fun, although I still haven't bought it.

I may well rent it though.

I should get it today.

Just a big kid aren't you? :)

Not had the pleasure of playing this game, but it has certainly caught my eye just because it's an interesting idea and 'different' from anything else out there in it's genre.

A quick question from you, does it have a 2 player mode?
