"A great Star Wars game for the ages; thank you Lucas!"

This review is about a game that many don't acknowledge. It is basically a version of the prequel trilogy of Star Wars in Lego form. If you bought this game after Episode 3 came out, you might get bored because you know the storyline. If you have very little understanding about Star Wars, this is the game for you.

Story(9/10)
The story is about the path of Anakin to Darth Vader. It is basically the entire storyline of the 3 movies. There isn't much to mention here, although there is Free Play for most of the levels. Free Play is where you pick a character you have unlocked and you can complete the level with that character, along with about 7 other characters. However, you can use your knowledge of Star Wars to your advantage and complete the Story quicker.

Gameplay(10/10)
There is all the characters in the first 3 movies at your disposal, but you must unlock most characters. It is always fun to use friendly fire on Jar Jar with a Clone Trooper. Jedi can use force on certain objects, you can always kill your partner, and even shut down droids with R2-D2. In short, you can interact with the environment. That is what makes this game fun.

Graphics(8/10)
Unfortunately, this game is kid-friendly, so when a character dies, you don't see blood on your TV. The graphics are a bit crude because everything is in Lego form. Mace Windu is supposed to be bald, but he has a cylinder coming out of the top of his head. This is the head of a Lego. The graphics could have been improved.

Sound(8/10)
A lot of the music can be redundant and sometimes downright annoying. The music doesn't sound like the movies. The music should be played less often and more realistically. The sound also needs improvement.

Overall(9/10)
Come one, come all! This game was designed to reach a huge audience. Whether you are 6 or 60, whether you are a Star Wars fanatic or not, this is the game for you.
