- Don't be a cynic - play it!!
Ok.. so this game sounds childish and silly - just for 3 years olds right? Wrong.
I am 28 and my partner is 29 and we are addicted. Its brilliant!! It takes aaages to get all the achievment points and there's just tons of super fun game play here. It's not too easy (I was worried that it might be) and its not too hard.
Positives: The amount of characters, levels, ships,minigames and the sheer fun value you get out of this game, whether playing it alone or in co-op mode. The star wars lego cut-scenes are hilarious!
Negatives: not many to be honest.. depth perception can be difficult. Sometimes the camera angles can be awkward. In co-op mode you cannot sign in with a second profile and unlock the achievements for both. Only player one will get the credit. The levels with the ships can be a bit chaotic...
All in all this is just brilliant, I was really surprised.

- Fun to play...Incredibly Frustrating To Save!
I like this game a lot. It's a laugh to play as you go through the various famous Star Wars scenes and stuff as a Lego character (the Lego Boombox that blasts out a heavy metal version of the Imperial March, making Gamorrean guards rock out is one of the best things I've seen!) However, I find trying to save your progress in this game EXTREMELY frustrating! For some reason when you clear a chapter and your autosave kicks in, it doesn't save your progress properly and you end up right back at the Mos Eisley cantina when you reload your game. Not cool.
I plan to keep playing this game and figure out what's going wrong, but that in itself is something no gamer should have to do. In short, great game, LOUSY saving system!
Rating: - A great game for the family
What a lot of fun! Simple to play, thoroughly enjoyable and the storyline is faithful and easy to follow (assuming you have seen the movies). My 5 year old loves it and I love it. Great for two-player cooperative play, with lots to do and explore.
OK - If you want blood, guts or deep tactical thinking, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a game that you can play with a big childish grin on your face then this is the one for you. More games like this please!

- As fun as it is frustrating.
I purchased this game as I loved the original, it was just so unique and a follow-up based on the original trilogy was an instant purchase as far as I was concerned. Absolutely nothing beats this game in terms of unlockable items, modes, characters, etc. The amont of new stuff you can unlock by playing through will keep you busy for hours alone. The improvements made from the last level are great too - I felt at first that having all characters being able to build and use melee attacks weakened the jedi characters, but they're still quite formidable - Especially as they're the only characters that can block. The additional force moves, and character spefific actions are also tons of fun to watch and come in handy, although I did miss the long jumpers from the original game. A lot of mini-kit collections could've been a lot easier with them!
The main reason this game doesn't get a five is because of how utterly frustrating it is at times. While the new free-roam element to the vehicle levels has taken the frustration out of those levels, the constantly respawning Storm Troopers and sometimes akward camera angles take a lot of the fun out of the average levels. I feel that one of the key strengths of the last game was that you were free to explore - To wander around, unhindered, looking for unlockables. In this game, however, in some areas you feel pressed for time and constantly rushed through thanks to re-spawning enemies. The camera angles, while annoying, can also throw you off when you're trying to jump - Which doesn't bode well when you're after the Undefeated Achievements.
Overall, I think this game is great and had a lot of fun playing it when I first got my Xbox - However, some minor faults mean it's not as good as it could be.
