Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga (Wii) - Review

Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga (Wii)
Ages: Everyone 10+

I have reviewed Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy and what I said about that game still applies here, “Every once in a while a great thing appears – Velcro, sliced bread, Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy. With the Complete Saga you have both Lego Star War games combined, which includes six Episodes, based on all six movies. The game feels much as it did on the PS2. with the exception of the Wii controller which gives it a new feel.

The A on the Remote is the heavy use button – jumping, defending and attacking. On the Nunchuk C gets you on and off vehicles and creatures and Z activates things like thermal detonators, access panels, levers, travel chutes and special abilities. The motions on the remote, moving up, down or side-to-side perform Jedi force abilities, slamming, lunging, grapple, even moving objects. To build objects, remember this is Lego, both the Nunchuk and Remote are moved back and forth. The lightsaber effects provide sound and vibration. With a second remote, you can play with a friend – or enemy.

For my readers edification – I have summarised the six different episodes – to refresh your memories and to let you know what an epic journey you will be undertaking. Sheesh – there are over 120 characters.
