These can be spent on all sorts of extras that range from the expected (invincibility) to the slightly more bizarre ("Old Time Mode," "Ewok Invasion"). As you play the game, you'll collect lots of LEGO studs, which are the game's form of currency.
However, there is also an exclusive four-player battle arena mode that allows you and up to three friends to compete in a Capture the Flag-style contest where you control a bounty hunter trying to find Han Solo's carbonite-encased body. The console and PSP versions of the game support two-player simultaneous play, and thanks to the DS's wireless capabilities, that feature is present here, too. There are even a few extra goodies that the console versions don't have. It's in full 3D, and although the graphics can't compare to the PSP version of the game, they look pretty darn good for the DS.Īlways Four There Are? Unlike the PSP version, however, this game isn't a port of the console release - all the levels are completely original, and they're quite well designed. Where the GBA version was a shoddy isometric action game with a coat of LEGO paint, this DS version feels like a scaled-down version of the excellent console game. After clearing a stage in Story mode, you can replay it in Free mode, where you can swap out characters at will instead of having to rely on plot-specific characters. Droids are great for opening up locked doors. Gun-toting characters can shoot for a long-range attack, and they have grappling hooks to reach high ledges. Jedi, for instance, can use the Force to disorient enemies and rebuild LEGO structures into new objects, and they can deflect lasers with their lightsabers. Each of the different character "classes" has different skills. Within each chapter, there are five stages, and as you play through each of them, you can control different characters. The main game is divided into three episodes, each one based on one of the classic Star Wars films. Like all the other versions of the game, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy allows you to play through a LEGO-ized Star Wars universe. In fact, it's actually quite a bit of fun. Sadly, that initial burst of enjoyment wouldn't last for long. Imagine my surprise when I finished playing through the first stage of the game and had actually enjoyed myself. Both games are, after all, created by the same developer ( Amaze Entertainment), so I feared that the DS version would be just as bad as the GBA game. After playing the not-all-that-good GBA version of LEGO Star Wars II, I wasn't looking forward to trying the DS version.
