Lego Star Wars

"Star Wars and Legos, the new Chocolate and Peanut Butter."

Now, I know what you may be thinking. A ten!? What is this clown thinking!? Well I'll tell you what this clown is thinking, Lego Star Wars the Video Game is easily one the most enjoyable games I have played in my many gaming years. This game combines so many great aspects of great gaming to make one heck of a ride.

Graphics: The graphics in LSW are well... Legos, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The amount of detail, polish, and straight up style in this game is mind numbing. I love everything about the graphics in this game. Although some may not enjoy the Lego style as much as I do, I think everyone can find at least ONE thing to like about the graphics in this game.

Sound: Excellence. Every saber swing, every blaster bolt, and even the infamous Darth Vader breathing is here, and I couldn't possibly forget the wonderful John Williams score in this game. They definitely hit the nail on the head here.

Gameplay: Oh yes, the cream of the crop. While some will say the game play is a bit simplistic, I couldnt have enjoyed it more. Every ounce of gameplay was fun, innovative, and overall easily enjoyed. You'll fight battle droids, confront the clones, and have one final duel with the infamous Darth Vader. Oh... and you can play as Yoda... yeah, Need I say more?

Longevity: The game is short. Sure, I'll admit it. Though theres SO much more to be seen after completing the main story line. With 56 characters, 18 un-lockable vehicles, and a super bonus secret, this game sure has a enough gameplay to keep you coming back again and again and again.

Final Thoughts: Lego Star Wars, in my opinion, deserves a ten. This is easily THE sleeper hit of the year. So in conclusion, what are you waiting for people, buy this game. Please. Co-op, 56 characters, Excellent sound, gameplay, and graphics... oh and Yoda.
