Like a primary school version of Command & Conquer, the action occasionally switches you to a battlefield that sees you capturing bases and spending cash on upgrades. The other big change is the introduction of strategy elements. But it's a welcome upgrade on the relatively small-scale combat seen previously. Most of the enemies remain cannon fodder, simply there to help you rack up your collection of Lego studs and points.
It's all relatively illusionary, of course. Enemies swarm around your Jedi heroes while you leap and slash with a lightsaber. From the off you are flung into screen-filling battles that capture the epic nature of the series. The latest edition is based on the successful Clone Wars animated TV series, and while it lacks the cross-generational appeal of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and co – although some classic characters can be unlocked while playing – the game adds enough to the formula to be worth a look.įor a start, there is so much more going on. The original Lego Star Wars nailed so much of what makes the games hugely popular today – humour, collectables and accessibly rewarding action. Star Wars has always been the pick of the bunch, though. Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman – the list of Lego-ised franchises is endless.
I t seems that barely a month goes by without a new Lego game being released.
