LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game

The Good
For a children's game, this is actually somewhat challenging. All your favorite Original Trilogy characters are there, including Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, and many others. There's even a special appearance by Darth Vader. There is much replay value. In every level, there are certain secret items that can only be reached with certain characters. You always have a second player. If playing alone, this player is controlled by the computer. This is necessary to solve some puzzles that require two people.

The Bad
The main thing I didn't like was that you always had a second player, whether it be a friend or the A.I. Unless you are playing with another person, this second player is almost completely useless. None of its attacks effect enemies and more often than not, they end up getting in the way. As I said, though, this player is necessary for solving certain puzzles. The other thing I really didn't like was that if you try to use the Force while being attacked, it breaks your concentration.

The Bottom Line
Overall, I would say that this game is worth the time it takes to fully complete it. I'd check it out if I were you.
