You don’t mash Lego pieces together, follow instructions, and you don’t use your imagination.
To construct anything in the game out of Legos, all you have to do is use “the force,” which means you just press “J,” and suddenly Lego objects get constructed. It’s a much narrower focus, but it makes problem solving for kids much easier and the gameplay much smoother. You’re playing an adventure game made of Lego pieces where you’ll ocassionally need to construct certain Lego machines and objects to advance. Though the “Lego” designation conjures up images of creating elaborate block creations, the series has always been a bit more humble in its ambitions.
Lego Star Wars, like the rest of the Lego series of adventure games, is meant for a kid audience but can also be appreciated by adults. Feral Interactive‘s port of the successful Star Wars Lego series for the Mac is faithful to the source material: Lego Star Wars is cute, funny, and fully of geeky moments sure to delight fans. The catch? Instead of playing in a conventional sci-fi world complete with dialogue, voice-acting, and realistic renderings of the iconic characters, you’re playing in a world of Lego blocks. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga lets you play as Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windo, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and pretty much every other Star Wars character from the movies.
