Do you know what a LEGO game is? If yes then you know how this plays. If no - it's a mild action puzzle game with a generally gentle difficulty and some decent humor. Aimed at kids and fans of the movies, it's what I consider a casual game. It's also one that forces you to replay levels to get to completion. If you don't like repetition this game will quickly grow old.

I like the Lego games, because of the co-op play mode and the general dumb fun of it all. It's no high art, but it's a good game to kick back and relax while playing with kids or friends. I also admit I don't mind the repetitive nature of replaying the levels, but its not for everyone.

For a LEGO game this is one of my favorites. It's got the right balance of complex and classic. The secret areas are surprisingly expansive and some of them are reasonably challenging to discover. It's got some fun trophies, interesting puzzles and simple controls. It feels like the original Star Wars games, but upgraded in almost every way.

If you like LEGO games, this is a great one to play. If you don't like LEGO games this won't win you to the franchise. The new stuff is limited to minor improvements that will make a fan smile, but won't sway anyone who doesn't like the style.
