Product Description
LEGO Star Wars II sets players loose in the original three chapters of the Star Wars Saga -- making this the true sequel our fans have been clamoring for. Follow the Rebel Alliance's battle to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the reconstructed Death Star, the game includes even more of the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humor that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim.

What an incredible disappointment packed into that li'l cart...I ran out the day this was released and snapped it up, and two days later, ran faster to trade it in for the PS2 version.I won't go into the bugs, they're rife and well-documented. What bothers me even more was the horrible hack-job they did to the levels and storyline. Yeah, of course I recognize that you can't fit all the chrome onto a DS port that you can afford to pack on a disc, but the choices that were made are unfathomable.They cut out Dagobah, for cryin' out loud. Dagobah! The coolest part of the coolest movie of the Trilogy! I know that sacrifices needed to be made, but taking out Dagobah removed Yoda from the Empire Strikes Back chapter altogether, and for such a major character, that's just not okay.When I was playing the game, I knew it was a dog, but it wasn't until I went and got the PS2 version that I realized just how terrible the DS version is. The full game is a joy, capturing not only the spirit of the movies but the feeling of playing with all of my Star Wars toys as a kid. The levels are massive and varied, the cut scenes are frequently hilarious, and the action is frenzied fun of the first order. The DS version is none of these.The one area I can praise in the DS over the PS2 is using the touch pad to manipulate the character creator. The layout and ease of use are an improvement over the console version. But this is a mighty small piece of a mighty big game, and in no way ameliorates the central fact of this game's poorness in design and execution.There's one other good change made to the DS cart, but it wasn't intentional. I got a bug in the Mos Eisley hub; when I walked into the Return of the Jedi room after completing the first level of New Hope, I was able to move directly to the final battle, Darth and Luke vs. the Emperor. In a game this bad, skipping everything between the first and last levels is a distinctly good idea.

Avoid this DS game at all cost! I love LEGO and Star Wars, especially Star Wars LEGO and the games. The DS version is not the way to go. It has too many glitches and is a frustrating bore to play.

Such a promising game, such crushing disappointment when you find out how many bugs it has. The sly sense of humor in the manual and the cutscenes shows that some thought went into creating this game. The DS version is so different from all the others, with all-new levels and an exclusive 4-player battle mode, that it apparently wasn't finished when the order came to rush it out the door -- probably so it could be on store shelves along with the other versions and with the new release of the original trilogy on DVD.There are a few problems with playing the game in Story Mode, but they don't get in the way much -- sometimes your character, blaster shots, or LEGO studs will disappear, but they'll still be there, and they'll reappear soon. And sometimes the camera won't follow you into an area, so you can't see around corners or you're operating at extreme distance.Whenever you finish a level in Story Mode it becomes available for Free Play, so you can play with any character (or vehicle, for the vehicle levels) you've unlocked so far. This can be very fun, and in fact is the key to unlocking even more characters, as there are jumps that can't be made and doors that can't be unlocked unless you have the right character present. However, even more bugs appear in Free Play. All textures can disappear, leaving all characters and any nearby LEGO studs apparently floating in empty black space. The camera can "die," by which I mean that it follows your character at a fixed distance and angle, and you can only rotate it using the L and R buttons -- when this happens, game events cease to occur, like freeing Han Solo in Jabba's palace, which normally leads to fighting the Rancor, but in Free Play this simply will not happen, making the level impossible to complete. And the game will sometimes just lock up.I have read on Kotaku that the European release of LSW2 DS was even buggier than the US release. LucasArts has apparently told some complaining customers that they can get a shrinkwrapped copy for free so they can return the game to the store for a refund, or a free copy of the game for another system. And the Kotaku article says that there will be an updated version coming out, not with all the bugs fixed but with some of them fixed at least, once existing inventory has sold. However, I'm not sure existing inventory will sell out, given the horrible reviews this game is getting. Right now I'm undecided about whether I just want my money back so I can buy another game, or whether I want the PC version instead, or whether I want an upcoming less-buggy version (which may not come out, and which may or may not be free for us unfortunate gamers who bought the first version).In any case, do not buy this game now. Buy it for some other platform, or wait until the update comes out (if it does), but do not send the message that it's acceptable to foist unfinished software on unsuspecting consumers.
