A precarious balance between novelty and frustration [Posted on 2007-06-27]
I found the original LEGO Star Wars to be a terrific game for my children and me to play together and for me to introduce them to the Star Wars universe. The extremely forgiving game play and the light tone made for a great family experience. While LEGO Star Wars II introduces exciting new elements (mix-and-match character building, more mini-games, etc.), the overall experience is much more frustrating. The controls are not quite as precise, especially for the various vehicles, many of which require very deliberate movements in order to solve puzzles. The flying scenes are especially non-intuitive, and essentially impossible for my 6 year old. With the first game, I really looked forward to each chapter ... now I'm starting to dread moving ahead, and have even resorted to reading a walk-through, which was absolutely not necessary for the first game. Finally, the game play is sluggish, though I admit I'm playing this on a 2-year old system (iMac G5 2.0 GHz) and am using the keyboard, not a controller.
Great Game for Kids and the Family!!!! [Posted on 2007-09-18]
I have twin boys 4 1/2 years old and this was their first introduction to the world of Star Wars and I gotta say this game is fantastic! They learned how to use the keys on the keyboard with ease and they play this game every single day and never get tired of it. I find them laughing like crazy at the funny scenes and also yell and scream with enjoyment as they discover new things and win over the bad guys. They also run around the house acting out the Lego characters they play with. LOTS and LOTS of fun for kids and the family and it never gets boring. I run this on an iMac G5 20" 2GHZ 1Gb RAM at full resolution (1680 x 1050) with ease. I am very impressed with this release!!!
GREAT GAME! [Posted on 2008-03-17]
We have both the Star Wars I and II. They are perfect for our young boys and my husband and I enjoy playing them as well. My boys often ask me to play a level with them. We have a lot of fun playing together as a family. If your kids like Star Wars, they will love this game.
installation problem [Posted on 2008-04-04]
An attempt to install on a Mac Mini failed. The installation app stated insufficient video resources as the reason for the abort.
The Feral Interactive website has a system checker you can use before you purchase. I only wish I had known about it before buying the game from Amazon.
Pretty addictive and fun for the kids and adults [Posted on 2008-06-19]
Lego and Star Wars...is there a better combination? Good graphics on my iMac 20" Intel. You can lose hours of productivity playing this game. Beware. Puzzles are challenging. This game has hours and hours of entertainment.
