If I see another Star Wars Lego, I’m going to go insane
Do you remember a while back I reviewed Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy. Well, it’s back but this time it’s all the DS. After playing Lego Star Wars 2 for the PS2, I didn’t have very high hopes for this game and trust me it doesn’t deserve any.
The first bad point is the story; the story doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense for about eighty percent of the game. First of all, the cut-scenes make little or no sense (It isn’t like there’s any voices to help you along) and the worlds you play in try to follow the movie story but they just make absolutely no sense at all.
The game play is supposed to be the best aspect of the game (which it is, in a bad way), but with the DS’s touch screen they could’ve made it slightly more interactive, but that’s what happens when you get a scaled-down version of the game (scaled-down from the console). The enemies are mindless and killing them is also very mindless. There’s a lot of unlockables but most of them are just there and nothing more. There’s a decent amount of levels, but all of them are either too short or too glitched. This game is very glitchy; walls will appear and disappear, sometimes it allows you to exit the game and other times it doesn’t, and a lot of stuff will disappear for no apparent reason so that you’ll have to restart the level, again. I think I’ve gotten rid of enough of the frustration this game gave me on game play so let’s save some for everything else.
The graphics are bottom of their barrel especially when competing with heavy hitters like Metroid Prime: Hunters and the New Super Mario Bros. The music is cutesy and acceptable for about twenty minutes and then you’ll want to take an AK-47 and shove the game cartridge inside of it and shoot the game to Mars so you’ll never see it again, because, yes, it contains the music from the movies, but it’s been chopped, cut and shortened to a VERY annoying soundtrack. And all that was just for the music; now it’s time to try to describe the sound effects. The sounds will drive you insane, whether it’s the constant bleeping of the guns or R2-D2 bleeping the same overly annoying thing over and over again (if you get this game, play it on mute).
You would have to be really desperate for multi-player if you actually think this game’s multi-player is worth you time, because it isn’t (Pong has a better multi-player, if you ask me).
This is NOT a good game for the DS and this game is a NOT worth anything more than five dollars.
I give Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy a two out of ten (This is the worst score I’ve ever given out and the only reason it isn’t lower is because there might be a game that is worse out there somewhere.)
