Rating: - what a disappointment
I already own this game for my PS2 and love, LOVE, the PS2 version. When I bought a DS Lite, I was excited to see this version. I should have looked here before I tore into the plastic wrap. While I had hoped for the intuitive and entertaining game that I've played before, I ended up fighting with the interface within the first 10 minutes. The keypad is so much worse than the joystick I was used to; I lost count on how many times I fell off ledges and bridges. Then I experienced the bugs and was frozen midair in a level. There was nothing I could do but switch it off and start over. I'll try it again later when my headache wears off.
Rating: - Boring.
I bought Lego Star Wars II for DS, even after not really liking Lego Star Wars I for Gamecube. (I must have bought it used.) Just like Lego Star Wars I, the game itself was nothing more that slashing everything and collecting random lego parts. Just like regular Legos, I wish it was more fun than it actually is.
Rating: - Lego Star Wars II - Fun but hard
The game is very hard but getting the mini-kits is harder. 10 mini-kits = 1 new person. There is no blood and no graphic deaths since it is a Lego game. Well worth the cost.
Rating: - Not very well thought out...
There is a process you go through in game development called play testing. They must have skipped this.
The player control itself is enough to make you throw your DS against the wall. I have (sadly enough) put over 60 hours into playing the PS2 version of this game. They actually keep track of it for you. I wasn't expecting the same experience as the PS2 version, but I also wasn't expecting pure frustration.
They simply didn't scope this out very well and didn't put much thought into the strengths and weaknesses of the DS system.
Rating: - Not as much fun as the Xbox version
Being a fan of the console version I thought it would be nice to have a portable version. Unfortunately the movements of the characters are really hard. I found it too hard to navigate the cat-walks and found myself blasting my other team member more then the Storm Troopers. It's too bad more thought wasn't put into this game before release as it had a lot of potential. My son has the GameBoy advance version of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy which he seems to enjoy so I would recommend grabbing a copy of that if you really want a portable version of this game.
