    This is fantastic. Put it this way, if you are a star wars fan, then is a no brainer. I guarantee that you'll be "Wow - that bit was in the film" when they show cutscenes... It really is funny as well.

    It reminds me of old console 2 player, playing/fighting/arguing with each other. I can testify to that as I ahve been playing this with me and there are constant "I cant move because you are at the other end of the room and i cant scroll the screen anymore "

    Anyway, it is actually pretty long and I've just done EPIV today and the deathstar level is great!!! Get it - you wont regret it, just for the nostalgia feeling!

    This game is fantastic, been playing it through with my housemate, we've done all the main story levels and are now working our way through collecting all the extras.

    Another vote for this game - loved the first one but it was too short and too easy. This one is longer and some of the puzzles are a little more tricky...although having said that - my son finished it in 3 days

    But you gotta get it purely for the characters, the gameplay, and the 110% pure fun factor...

    BTW - have you found the "Beach Trooper"? A stormtrooper in a G-String. There is a secret room on one of the levels with a load of them sitting in a hot tub

    I could never get away with the controls on the first one. Kept getting stuck in corridors etc so gave up after about 2 hours play down to frustration.

    May give this one a look and persevere as I love the origional trilogy movies, possibly try playing it on my gamepad instead. My local store has it for £20 new so its cheap enough for just pick up and play in short bursts.

    Found some sitting in a hot tub on the first level, but not in g-strings.

    I played the first Lego Star Wars from start to finish and unlocked all the extras I enjoyed it that much. I'm just waiting till payday so I can get the sequel for pc, although I am annoyed that I deleted my save games for the first game as that would have given me a big pile of extra characters to use as well! Would you guys say thie sequel is better than the first game as a mate of mine has the 360 version of the sequel and has said he isn't enjoying it as much as he enjoyed the first one?

    I guess it may depend on your take on the films - its the context of the films that makes it enjoyable, there isnt that much difference between the two really gameplay wise - but who actually likes the new films..????

    I found the controls awkward. Dug out a joypad and will have a go on that.
    Anyone done the same?
