Number3son Reviews Lego Star Wars the Video Game

Hello everybody, it`s Number3son here. Today I would like to do a review of a Video game that's for the PlayStation2.

Now, what you should know is I do my Video game reviews after I beat the games. So this time around, I have decided to do a post of the prequel to Lego Star Wars II. This game I will talk about is named Lego Star Wars the Video Game.

If you should know, I got a different Star Wars game for Christmas, but I was kind of jealous because my 15-year old brother, Number2son, started a file on the game and there was nothing I could do about it, and do you know what? He beat the game's entire Story Mode in ONE DAY! I didn't care for the game, so I hid it in our van, and that`s where it is to this day.

Anyway, here's Lego Star Wars the Video Game. I watched someone play it on YouTube, and he is known as Acegamer. I do like this game, but my brothers liked Lego Star Wars the Clone Wars better, and they said my game uses "Stiff" combat. In this game you must tackle Episodes 1, 2 and 3. There's also a bonus level marked with a ? and it's a level where you play as Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, but I never unlocked that level. The level where you do the Mos Espa podrace is annoying. How so? You get pod racer destruction cut scenes whenever:

1. You lose all your hearts, obviously;

2. You run out of time to get out of the Crystal Cave to the Tusken Raiders;

3. You run out of time to get to the final part of each lap;

4. You run out of time to hit the Finish Line or;

5. Sebulba gets to the finish line before you do in the 3rd lap.

The level where you retake Theed Palace isn't that bad, but it's kind of long. Then you have to fight Darth Maul. (Strangely enough, all the last levels of each Episode are named after the boss in that level.) In the 1st part, you must force objects at Darth Maul till all his 3 hearts go blank. He doesn't do it until you kill the battle droids. Then in the 2nd room, you must chase him as he jumps from platform to platform.

Then there's the third room. For some reason, I always end up dying at least once in that room. Here's what you have to do to survive. Darth Maul's going to force the platform to the 4th area down. Two battle droid commanders say "Roger roger" and four boxes of battle droids fall to the platform. To get these battle droids to stop summoning, kill their commanders. After the battle droids are dealt with, 2 Droidikas on platforms show up. The best strategy is to deflect there gunfire at them. Then touch the 2 switches. The platform appears-sally forth!

The gunship cavalry level (Episode 2 mission 4) is pretty hard. If you didn't know, prepare to deal with Death cut scenes! At the end, you must destroy the Tractor beams and their systems . . . . Within 45 seconds. Shoot the droids to get extra Health.

Darth Vader is the final level. You must have skills by now, because they're going to be tested. In this level you have to go through five rooms, counting the Grand Finale. The 1st room tests you on Jumping. Be careful. The 2nd room is a test on out-speeding the timer.

Room #3 is a test on Force usage. Anakin destroys the switch guards, then you step on the switches. A Minikit platform appears. Then you must get a wheel going to bring up this tower surface. Then you and Anakin go down to a Spider-shaped platform.

Room 4: Yet another test of jumping. Jump onto a tower. It sinks, so leap to the Rocky island, where your partner is about to turn its back on you.

The Grand Finale: Yes, Anakin (also known as Darth Vader) is the final boss. He's going to try to sink sections of the platform you fight on. This fight can really make you think of the Champion fight from Pokemon's remake of Red and Blue. Now, it's also the ONLY point in the game where you can have 10 hearts.

Well hope you enjoyed this. Please check the game out at your local game store.
