LEGO Star Wars Video Game 174

Posted by Hemos on Monday December 13, 2004 @11:16AM from the how-will-this-works dept.

_xeno_ writes "LEGO, everyone's favorite plastic building block company, is creating a Star Wars video game. Yes, that's right. A video game based on the LEGO Star Wars sets, which are of course based on Star Wars. GameSpot has a preview of the game. It covers the three prequel movies, allowing you to play through levels containing LEGO friends and allies. At first you can only play with characters appropriate for the level, but you can unlock other characters to swap in as you play through the game. Because the world is based on LEGO blocks, there are puzzles that involve the creation of LEGO structures to bridge gaps. It's scheduled for an April release, just before "Revenge of the Sith" opens." I guess this would be an...ahem...puzzle game.

The screencaps are pretty impressive--the in-game characters look every bit as emotive and engaging as the actors in the movies!

Thanks for that concise summary. I was having trouble trying to figure out what this Star Wars LEGO video game was based on.

Okay, unless I'm mistaken, there's no KOTOR for PS2...

So, provided this isn't a shitty game, your telling me that the only non-shitty game for the PS2 is going to be a SW game that's totally based on using Lego models.

The utter wierdness and coolness of this hasn't even begun to set in...

Tell me about it. I used to build LEGO machine guns with reloadable magazines and locks. Only problem was it didn't fire a thing. Not to mention I don't have enough black blocks, so the gun was like red and purple and gray and yellow.

It's just a bit of dyslexia kicking in. Stay tuned for further reviews from GamePots, GamePost and GameTops.

Well, now we know why Lucas Arts didn't have the confidence to produce the new Sam and Max.

I can't wait to play that Hoth sequence one more time or buy those re-re-re-mixed-mastered H -DVDs in sexology format.

Dude!

You didn't use your imagination enough.

My guns fired real blocks.

Nothing but adding a rubber band on an inverted barrell of blocks (smooth sides all around). Had great accuracy too! Though the 1x2 blocks always made better bullets thann the longer 1x8 blocks. (learned aerodynamics early on! Hey, I just figured out why I don't have very many 1x2's anymore!)

Dude, wait until you see the movie of the book of the video game of the Star Wars lego sets. That's going to blow you socks off! And if that doesn't the extended special edition will!

It just dosen't translate well. It's really difficult to work with 3-D shapes on a 2-D computer screen.

If by "work with" you mean "gib with a rail gun", then I find it quite easy.

Don't be silly - the lightsaber would cut the hand off at the joint. He'd need either super glue to reattatch it, or significant surgery to remove the now embedded joint so the hand could be replaced, or a whole new arm.

I don't believe I just did that..
