Really? I played a bit and it felt a bit 'meh'. It doesn't really do that much new, and lacks the iconic-ness of the Original Trilogy game which is half of the appeal, for me.

 

I'll hold out for Pirates of the Caribbean, which will no doubt have many of the same 'upgrades' that this game has.

Obviously Swert was bribed. But whatever.

 

WAI NO WII DEMOS D:

More like "WAI NO PC DEMOS".

 

Glad that the Swertster is here to give us the 411 though. It all sounds soo good.

Having played most of every major release for LEGO games since LEGO Star Wars 1 for PC, I can say that this one is a much improved version of gaming, especially if you have a friend or sibling to play with.

 

Split-screen gameplay was the best thing they developed in a long time. Included to that is my favorite addition to the game, allowing someone to literally go to one area, and the other characters go to the other. In actuality for my case, my sister (who plays a lot of LEGO games with me on the 360) played one level, while I was on the other side doing tasks myself.

 

I have spoiler alerted this scene for those who do not wish to know:

In the scene where Padmé is rescued by the Jedi, the scene split off altogether. My sister and I were seperated by a wall, and we went down seperate corridors, having to solve a puzzle on each side for the other to progress. It was really awesome to have to fight a vulture droid on my own after it just smashed out the glass on my sister's side, and then resealing the leak for her to progress.

 

Also, I seriously do think the space combat has been improved, especially with no level jumps, instead we get a gameplay based on a single level (at least this one is) with multiple battle areas. Included to that is the Jedi Starfighter's ability to warp jump via a docking ring. I believe it's possible the Y-Wing could also do this, but I didn't test it.

 

Overall, I highly recommend, if you have a 360 or a PS3, trying this demo at least once with an open mind. Locking yourself into thinking "It's just another LEGO game" is not accurate. And no, I'm not being paid for these comments

LIES!

I'd read about a number of features and must say I am stoked. While LEGO Indy 2 got some features done right, it fell way too short for me in the actual gameplay and level design departments. I'm not about to go rushing out for LEGO PotC, but Star Wars III definitely has my attention.
