I haven't played the first one, but I probably will now! If I can find it for the 360, that is. This game is great fun for my daughter and I to pick up and tool around in for an hour, and easy to put away "whenever". The levels aren't overly huge (so far... we're not done yet) and even at 4 she is perfectly capable of doing everything that needs doing. Well... there are some flying sequences that she's not enchanted with, but that's where the drop in/drop out play is _really_ sweet. She just drops herself out when things get too crazy and I finish the sequence without her dragging me down. Then she hops back in we continue on.

I've not played alot of platformers (generally I'm a PC gamer, FPS and .. well.. er... tactical FPS :) but I've enjoyed some of these on the 360 because my kids can play, too. Star Wars is one of my favourite movie series of all time, IV-VI in particular, and this game plays through the best scenes of each movie. The characters are lego, but with fun personality twists in the cutscenes and it's all good fun. The graphics are fine and the sound is great (love that musical score!!). The levels are easy enough to "just get through", but I've sometimes more than an hour apiece hunting around for the little extras to really complete them.

All in all, this is a great family game... actually it's just a great game.
