This is a much better game than the first one and I am now actually interested in the series. better art style, better levels, more balanced difficulty, better AI (most of the time, sometimes they refuse to revive you even if you're right in front of them) and a more interesting story. The one thing that I don't like is the chainsaw mechanic, it's super fun but every time you get shot it deactivates it, fair enough, but then it takes like a ton more button presses to rev it up again, even after you've dodge rolled. after playing this I now understand why this series stayed a staple of xbox after the first one.

best lego game as far as I'm concerned. yeah I know it's a compilation of the first 2 lego star wars games which I played on ps2 (plus the really shitty but fun DS port) but this is more than just a compilation. they fixed all the vehicle levels from the first game, they made characters from all the games playable in each other's universe, bonus levels of cut content and extra worlds, and the game is funny, really funny. being a kid and going through my favorite movies as silly lego characters while still keeping the same amazing star wars atmosphere complete with John Williams music was honestly amazing for little me. Even if it is a little too easy and I can beat it with my eyes closed.
