Lets face it, even when Han Solo is Lego he is still cooler and a better role model then myself. The game 'aint bad either. If you don't know what the game is, look at the cover art and title. It covers it pretty well. But to the game itself: It's fun, for a kid’s game. I rented it and had a good time, lots to unlock and it's totally great to see such classic (and cool) movies acted out by Lego dudes. The presentation is probably the best part, watching guys fall apart, the wonderful cut scenes and the animations of each character are just a joy to see. But that only goes so far. Eventually you will have to admit the combat is just pressing X as fast as you can, particularly with the gun-wielding guys and gals. It’s entertaining for a good while but by the end I found myself just wanting to see the story finish. And it' not grating or will make you bored as a plank but it gets a little bland is all. Co-op is fun too, and it's so simple a game that literally anyone can pick up the controller and know what is going and be appropriately amused. One odd point about the game is though, no matter how many times I do it, destroying things and getting little Lego bead things is always satisfying... I have no idea why... Anyhow. Star Wars and Lego were both staples of my childhood and go together like glue and toes. I had a perfectly enjoyable time, laughed and smiled at a Lego Han Solo and Luke. It's fun to shoot stuff for a good handful of hours but ultimately this is a very very shallow game (as of course one would expect from a kids game, so I don't really mean to knock it) and is not worth the price of a purchase. I'm happy with my rental. The achievements are easier then some games, but not a pushover. If you want em, it will take some time. Just letting you know.
