Being as my former collection of games tended to revolve around the single player experience I rarely played games with my family. I remember one of my fondest memories being playing co-op in Contra with my dad on the NES. I wanted a game that would give me that feeling again, and I was able to find it in Lego Star Wars. I bought it yesterday and have been very much surprised with how good and fun it is. It reminds me a little of Contra, mainly about both characters being on the same screen at the same time and being to interact with one another in some way. Of course where in Contra the most you could do really was watch the back of the person you were playing with. In this game you can do much more. You can stop at any time and even fight one another which makes for a lot of fun and some interesting fights. This is definetely one of my favorite games and I will surely buy the newest Lego Star Wars. I hope that I am able to find some more games like this though.
