Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)

It’s the game that never should’ve worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller’s Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top.

Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles.

For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

Customer Review: Simple Star Wars Fun
What can i say? Not exactly a next-gen game, but well thought out and very funny. Any Star Wars fan should reap some reward from playing out key scenes from all 6 movies. Not the most challenging game in the world and hard-core gamers will clock story mode in a day or so, but like ‘Sonic’ games from the past, it’s the re-playing levels to get each one 100% completed that’ll take time.

Simple, honest family entertainment. Would reccomend especially to anyone with kids/a fettish for Star Wars.

Now just gotta wait for ‘Haze’ to be released….!!!

Customer Review: A Good Belly Laugh
Lego Star : The Complete Saga is an excellent fun game for when the freinds are around, with many mini games to keep you happy. The game fully involves a second player, but single player is fun too with loads of unlockable content and enough challenges to keep you going for a long while. To say that this game is only for children would be premature at best, its an all round game for people who enjoy a querky game, and an obvious must for Star Wars fans. Although however it is fun and querky some parts can be quite dull, however they dont last long and the story can continue with a more pleasing appeal. Some of the unlockable content is realy amuzing, such as disguise mode where all characters wear joking glasses with joking mistache attached, or giving silly hats to different characters.

In my Opinion its worth a look if only a fun game to play with mates.

Hope my review was useful

Customer Review: Not SO cheap afterall…
Not so sure what the rating of this software should be but the price is way too high. After registering my new PSP Lite I quickly discovered one needs a so-called “promotional code” for a free copy of Media Manager… On sonycreativesoftware you can find this for half price and if you do a proper search on an American website, it’s free and only takes up 27MB of space. There you go! We are once again being screwed when our American brothers get this free.. Just like Itunes.. So much for “brotherly love”…
Customer Review: Not worth the money
Program, although good, has to many serious flaws 1. There are better programs available for free that cater better to a PSP users needs 2. The video converter is slow, buggy, outdated, and has bad compression. There are many free video convertors designed specifically for the PSP that do an excellent job 3. It makes things to easy. How hard is it to find a song, and drag it into the music folder. Seriously?? Good piece of kit, one of the better paid AIO, but not honestly worth ther money

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3) With the Hitman series already well established, Danish developer Io Interactive are not exactly masters of the family friendly game. This latest effort is their most violent and shocking yet, as you take control of reluctant mercenary Kane and his schizophrenic partner Lynch. Neither character likes the other but for the purposes of the story they have to work together in a series of violent third person shoot outs. By default you control Kane, with the computer or another player taking on the role of Lynch. As the game progress you will also be able to recruit a team of up to eight mercenaries, with your reputation determining the quality of the personnel applying for the job. Ordering your squad around is easy enough but since any of them, particularly Lynch, can have completely different objectives to you, they won’t always take orders - particularly if they’ve taken a dislike to you already - which is a real problem when you want them to administer some first aid.

Although it is much more action packed than the Hitman games, there are obviously similarities between the two games, with highly interactive environments and multiple ways to approach any problem. One particular highlight already demonstrated involves a kidnapping at a rave with Kane & Lynch firing into the air to disperse a large crowd of dancers before engaging in a brutal gun battle with security guards, as the sound and music system continues to flash and blare. If the rest of the game is just as inventive with its scenarios then Io may well keep Kane and Lynch alive for a little longer.

Customer Review: Don’t believe the hype !
Couldn’t wait to buy this game having seen the trailers however it did not live up to the hype at all.The graphics are not much better than PS2 standard and after playing Call of Duty 4 they really do look second rate. Controls are also poor. Don’t waste your money !
