We get a first look at some of the features being added to this compilation of the two Lego Star Wars games.
The first Lego Star Wars was a surprise hit, and its sequel was just plain a hit. But there are lots of PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii owners who haven't played one or both of these fun games. Luckily for them, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is headed to those very consoles on November 6th.
As you can probably imagine, The Complete Saga is the first two Lego Star Wars games in one package. But Traveller's Tales isn't just throwing them on a disc and calling it a day. There are lots of new things to look forward to, several of which we saw in the first level of Episode One when Qui-Gon used his new Force move called "droid bowling" to pick up and toss an enemy droid into a group of foes. Then he put together a small hovering vehicle that wasn't in the original game and blew away the rest of the droids in the room. There are also new power-ups, like the one we saw that increased the power and attack range of Qui-Gon's lightsaber. We were told there would be new levels as well. These changes were obvious, but many won't be quite as noticeable and will be small tweaks to improve the gameplay experience.
Each version of the game will have its own exclusive content as well. The Xbox 360 will, of course, have achievements, and the PlayStation 3 will make use of the Sixaxis' motion-sensing abilities and run in 1080p. The Wii version will also have motion-sensing controls--for the first time you'll be able to swing a controller around to control your lightsaber. Both the PS3 and the Wii will let you control vehicles via motion controls, too. If you don't feel like waving the Wii Remote you can use more traditional controls, but you're rewarded for using the motion-sensing controls with more spectacular effects and increased damage.
If you're unlucky enough to have not yet played any of the Lego Star Wars games and you can wait until November, the additions and changes found in The Complete Saga should make it a package worth waiting for.
such a successfull franchise. can you imagine the brainstorm session this was birthed from..."hey guys, Star Wars, how do put a spin on it?" - three days of brain storming later - "Uhhhh, why don't we take the dialogue out and make everthing out of Legos?" ........instant classic :)
I played the first and currently have the second, I'm gonna have to get the new pack....the kids will love it.....ahem..I'll love it!!!
i cant wait i reserved it today i loved the first two now there together with new levels,characters,and better graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!cant wait!
OMG! cant wait to play it on the wii, also Lego Star Wars, and Lego Star Wars 2 was great on the gamecube!
I'm glad I didn't buy the second game. just two months ago I had it in my amazon cart, but never got around to buying it. I guess I sensed the compilation coming through the force. And also looking forward to the graphics facelift. I'm awaiting my repaired 360 and this game.
I've played the original on the PS2 and the second one on the 360, and they where really fun game's, i am also a sucker for these type's of games, so i will be buying..
I'm such a sucker for compilations, and I've never played either of them before...not a bad deal at all.
this looks AWESOME! i own them both, but have only beaten the first one. still, im gettin this! ^_^
705H1R0: Im with you man, i just got the one thats out now on saturday. If i knew this was coming out i wouldve waited.
hmmm.... makes me feel a little silly for having what I thought was a great deal on Star Wars II for 360 (It came down to $15.) I wonder how willing I'm going to be to throw down 50-60 for this compilation..
i have both and have beaten both and im still gonna get it for my wii im excited 2 i wanna see what its like and the new levels, powers, and content YAY still i hope it is harder
basically some of you people, even tho u have the first two, are willing to dish out another 50$ just for achievments and a couple new moves, kinda sad.
I'm actually going to pick up Lego Star Wars II for the 360 now that it's $20. Since I never have been a fan of the new trilogy I think I can avoid the complete saga, especially now that Lego Indiana Jones has been announced. Plus, since I rented LSW2 long ago, I've already started to get those achievements. And, I have a Wii, and I enjoy it, but if the lightsaber "controls" are like the controls for swinging Link's sword it won't be that cool. =(
ive got the other 2 but im goin to get this one as well cause of the new achievments, levels, characters and moves :) :D
Dang, I have the first two, but I'm thinking of getting this for the new stuff and new achievements (I have 1000 in LSW2)
The only letdown is how easy the two previous are, but that's compensated by the replay value the game brings. I miss some scenes though, like Zam Wessel (which they pratically confirmed) and the duel between Mace and Palpatine
Great stuff, shame I've already got the second. For those of you who think it's a bit "kiddy" don't be put off. Seeing your favourite childhood episodes IV, V & VI being transformed into short stumpy fellas with stiff legs is hilarious, great fun all round!
I'm so there! What a great deal! This is like Lego Star Wars: Special Edition... Looks like LucasArts is taking a cue from Mr. Lucas himself and giving the games the movie treatment. Will that stop Star Wars-ophiles from ponying up a little extra cash for another Lego Star Wars fix? It's not gonna stop me! Two words: Bad ass!
lego star wars is brilliant. clever, innovative, fun... :D i can't wait for lego batman, as well.
1080p support out of box sounds good. good thing i own a ps3 and 360. hopefully they add some missions from in between episode 3 and new hope
Hope the Wii-mote light sabre is easy to use, orelse it might be fustrating if they stuff this up.
