Play as any Star Wars character you could think of from the prequel trilogy in this LEGO-meets-Star Wars action game that features two player drop in/drop out co-op play as well as all the action from the prequel trilogy.

Overview

 Lego Star Wars: The Video Game is a video game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts. It covers the events of the first three Star Wars episodes (chronologically), and features characters modeled after the Lego Star Wars toy line. The game features no dialogue or voice acting of any kind, and as such, no explanation for the events of the game. Franchise familiarity is assumed in the player, and the game treats the source material in a largely satirical way.

Gameplay

 Mechanically, the game is an extremely simple hack and slash game presented in three dimensional levels, with light platforming elements. There are fifty-six playable characters in the game, (most of which are only playable in the Free Play mode), however they are all divided into four archetypes - Jedi, Blaster, Super Jump, Droid. Jedi characters can use the force to solve some simplistic puzzles and deflect enemy blaster fire; Blaster characters can shoot enemies with their blastar and possess a grappling hook; Super jump characters possess the ability to jump much higher than other characters, and Droid characters do not get intentionally fired at by enemies, whilst possessing the ability to unlock certain doors.
 In game cutscenes add humor and life to ordinarily static Legos.

As players progress through the "Story Mode", they recap the events of the New Star Wars Trilogy. This consists mainly of the Hack and Slash/Platforming gameplay, with occasional vehicular sections (for example, the large space battle featured in the opening to Episode Three) breaking up the action. After a scenario has been completed, the player may enter this scenario in "free play" mode, which allows them to select any character for use in any stage of the game, including secret characters that have been unlocked. This allows various character special abilities to be used, opening the way to various secret areas not available in the story mode.

As the game goes on, players accumulate "studs", the currency in the game. These may be traded in the "Diner" (hub world) of the game for bonus content, including playable characters. The entire game is playable Co-Operatively, although there is no "head to head" mode.

The Game-Boy advance version of the game resembles the console version, but with several differences. The number of

playable characters is reduced to sixteen, studs are devalued, fewer levels, and a number of small gameplay tweaks. In addition, the cut-scenes are presented as still frames taken from the console versions cutscenes.
The Graphics in the Game-Boy Advance version of the game closely resemble the isometric graphics of Diablo.

Critical Response

 The game garnered scores in the mid-to-high 70% range, as collected by GameRankings and Metacritic. Reviewers praised the charming art style, diversity of characters and collection mechanics, however it also garnered some criticisms from the overly simplistic combat and short length of the game.
