Guest DarthMaulUK Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I've just played around with the demo and although alot of fun, I had alot of trouble with the camera controls not providing the best view. Also, when entering the cantina, I hit the character change button by mistake and took over one of the trapped droids and couldnt change back. The droids were held in that beam - although funny to watch, im sttuuuccckkkk! Neat touches for me - having the AT-ST walk over a Stormtrooper - watch him move when he is stuck! I also laugh every time C3-PO walks...he looks like he needs a trip to the toilet! DMUK
Pho3nix Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah I have the same camera problem, the camproblem was also present in the first Lego Star Wars which did not enhance the gaming experience. I'll give LSW OT 7/10.
HerbieZ Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 My dad played it and managed to mame 3PO every time. I was in stitches i laughed so much.
The Source Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I love the humor in this game. When it comes out, I will probally buy it.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I like it so far. I've only gotten as far as the Cantina. Since, I had the restart it because of a glitch. But, it's quite enjoyable. Though, I've been having a lot of fun playing as Ben.
The_Catto Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 My thoughts ... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! (In an insanely energetic happy kinda way) :D:D:D Love it! Gonna buy it when it comes out for sure! Can't wait.
DarkReborn Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 very cool, i like frying people with the emperor, i cant wait to use IG-88 (it's in the game ? i supose yes) my favourite TESB bountyhunter and mix it with other characters, indeed a cool and humorous game
popcorn2008 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Well I just got finished with the demo, and I have to say my favorite character is Han Solo so far. He sure can blast the hell out of anything! lol. Seriously though his blaster rate is fast. I think I'll buy the game, it has some great humor and if I dont like it im sure my little brothers will
Commander Obi-Wan Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 I, too, havew finished playing the demo. It's quite fun. Though, it was quite easy. I might buy it. I enjoyed more the first. With Han Solo, he's quite useful when it comes to facing stormtroopers. But, otherwise, I use Ben with everything else. And with the Cantina level, it took me about 5 minutes to figure out what i had to do to get the droids out of the forcefield thing. I can't wait to do the levels proceeding what you can play in the demo.
DarkReborn Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 well, with the droids thing i though that i had to do force push with Ben at 3PO and Artooo
popcorn2008 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 I actually got stuck for a few minutes on the catina part when you get Han Solo. Took me about 10 minutes to notice the arrows pointing to where to go . On the part with the droids getting stuck I eventually realized its best to use Luke to blast those force field things to get them free. It was taking me all day to get obi wan to blast them lol.
KyleOfHarpenden Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 i havent played the demo yet... but read all the reviews i could find but ye i've made my mind up i'm definately gonna buy it it'll just be fun :D:D YAY i'm so excited for no reason

The Death Star Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I think that the blaster characters in this game completely win me over rather than lightsabres. I found that the lightsabres were slow and not very powerful, whereas blasters are much more powerful, and the blaster characters were more athletic. I think that this game is going to be a smash hit!
Davinq Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 The reason for the awkward camera angles (as I'm sure most of you know, but just so somebody says it) Is for the two-player co-op, as an alternative to split-screen, which I personally despise.
grrrrrrrrrr7 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I'd give this game's demo about a 6 out of 10. I thought some parts of it were really good, others crappy. I might buy it.
Davinq Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I'm intrigued by your feedback on lightsaber effectiveness Death Star. Is it a noticable difference from the original?
The Death Star Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I'm intrigued by your feedback on lightsaber effectiveness Death Star. Is it a noticable difference from the original? Yes. Compare Lego Star Wars to the Lego Star Wars II Demo. LSW: All Lightsabre Characters are super athletic, spinning about and slashing things. LSWII: Lightsabre Characters are slow, inaccurate and hardly athletic. LSW: All lightsabre characters have more moves than Blaster characters. Blaster Characters seemed to be underpowered compared to Lightsabre characters, e.g Where Lightsabre characters block blaster bolts, blaster characters cannot. LSWII: The Tables have been turned! Once Powerful warriors, Lightsabre characters are now underpowered when compared to the blaster characters. The only redeeming feature is that they have cool force moves and can do double jumps. Blaster Characters now dodge blaster bolts then fire again! they leap about and fire rapidly upon landing! much better than the rubbish blocking-with-the-sabre-routine. there's my views ^^
Joris1 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I will buy it. The demo was good, but it is a pity that I can't the configuration is bad! I can't change them!

That almost totally undermines the customization part of the game. Almost everyone would want their plc to wield a lightsaber, but since they're now so underpowered... I never would have expected such a change. Unless that is, they're balancing the playing field for a surprise multiplayer vs. mode to be released? I hope not. Query: What "special moves unique to each character" are available? dntab
Commander Obi-Wan Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I found the Lightsaber-wielding characters just as athletic and powerful. I like better than the first Lego Star Wars game even though it's just the demo.
Davinq Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I like better than the first Lego Star Wars game even though it's just the demo. Lol what difference does that make?
Kurgan Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Haven't played it yet, honestly. The real thing will be out shortly though, so if I don't get a press copy, I may check it out (unless it's super expensive). Won't have much time to play it though until vacation..
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Yes, just about 5 days from the release. I think the price of the game will be between $30-$40. I am not completely sure if I am going to purchase it, though I will rent it without a doubt.
