This is even better than the first game. The Story is the same as the Trilogy, but with unrequired moments removed for the gameplay, and the story is still great without them, it's no where near as good, but they still work on their own, the only Story moments they ruined for me were Why did Han and Luke not bring their helmets to the mission at the start, they accidently showed the clip of the group being saved from the garbage disposal before R2 turned it off, the final clip of A New Hope is ruined by the music stopping before the credits, they show the Whampa like the Special Edition did, group troops are unaffected by the fighting at the beginning of Episode 5, Boba is following too close to the Falcon, like the Special Edition, the text at the beginning of Return of the Jedi is cluttered with it's focus, Darth Vader has eyebrows, and young Anakin's ghost shows up like in the Special Edition. The Characters are the same as the movies, but only showing less of them from the shorter story, but show off much personality in their brief moments. The Graphics are great, even more beautiful then the last game. The Gameplay has you play characters from the movies in Lego form, going through moments from the movies, with characters, enemies, and environments made out of Lego, while being able to collect studs as money, shoot/force things for more, and now with the added addition of building broken things, all without being hit 4 times, but if you do you get fixed up immediately afterwards anyway, and the text is much longer too, also Multiplayer returns, along with buying, other characters/vehicles, cheat codes, and upgrades, now with added fun of building your own 2 characters, finding characters in a certain time limit, and missions to get as many studs as you can. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy stands on it's own even without it's predecessor.
