[.ca] Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

A worthy sequel to the original guilty pleasure.:
In a time of galactic war and civil unrest, it's great to know we can make it cute, and have loads of fun with it. Lego Star Wars comes back as one of the most joyously giddy Star Wars games to ever grace us. It's more challenging; It's bigger; It still appeals to a wide audience and reminds us that you don't have to take gaming too seriously to have loads of fun. What's new? There's new playable characters, and even the gun totting figures can build Lego creations. You are no longer dependent on wielders of the force to take care of this task for you. Vehicle missions now come in free flight form. In the original Lego SW the missions that had you in a ship of any kind put you almost on rails. You could move left and right, but the path and speed was all preset. In this installment, you can fly around to your hearts content. A create-a-character feature has been introduced, where you can build your own playable Lego action figure to bring into free-play mode with you. Modes of game-play; There's more! You have your standard story-mode, and free-play mode, but then have a bunch of additional modes including bounty hunter missions, missions getting you to accumulate a million Lego studs before time runs out, and even a few area's that put your Star Wars Heroes into classic Lego environments. The levels are bigger! Although the story-mode still isn't warranting "most game-play in number of hours" awards, it will take a little longer to play through then the previous games, and additional goals you can play for afterwards keep the action going. What's the same? It's still fun! Lots of fun, for all ages! The mini-kits are still here, so you can collect your favourite vehicles from the movies. Two-Player co-op is present again, and makes the game even more fun! The basic game-play. There's lots of little additions to the game, but at the core it's the same formula we've seen before. Just set to a different backdrop. A definite pick-up for your PS2 collection.
