The circle is now complete with the release of  Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. We let two young droids take a crack at the Xbox360 version to gauge there opinion. Having played a mix of Prequel and Trilogy versions on PC and Playstation, it was interesting to see what these padawans thought of this revamped next generation console Complete Trilogy version. Over to you guys...

Reporter Droid IT-O: Compared to the first Lego Star Wars Game, this one was hot. IT looked heaps better, it plays smoother, and even though I finished both the previous games I just love playing Star Wars so the new  Bounty Hunter Missions and mixing EP1-3 characters into EP4-6 battles was sweet. Oh and co-op play on Xbox Live was the best fun. All up, I'd give it  7.5/10 Death Stars.

Reporter Droid SP-4: I luved the Trilogy Game but never got to play the Prequel one so this Complete Saga version was excellent. Sure there wasn't a huge difference in game play, but I still liked running around 'Mauling' stormies :) and the new new levels were pretty cool. I luv star wars and my Lego so this game was the best of every thing. Best bit so far Zam Wessel chase. I gave it a big 9/10 Star Fighters.

There you have it. 2 junior players, 2 mini-reviews and a FINAL SCORE OF 8 STARS So if you have not played either Lego Star Wars or Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy then this is a must have addition to your gaming library. OUT NOW from Activision Australia at your local video games retailer.
