Holy fucking shit does this game kick ass. I picked it up earlier this weekend and have been playing it a ton. It's so much fun and it's the perfect blend of cartoony and serious games. It also has two player mode which has been great for my girlfriend not getting pissed that it's been all I've been doing lately (of course the game is actually harder in two player mode, because you have to share the screen). The whole puzzle system of the game is great too, action wise anyone can beat the game eventually (dieing doesn't really do anything too devestating, you just lose money), it's a matter of figuring out the maps and puzzles, and utilizing the different abilities of different characters.

The story mode is great, the cut-scenes are hilarious and the fact that you can then replay the levels to your hearts content unlocking various features is what has really hooked me. You can replay any level as any character you unlock (and you can unlock good and bad guys)... want to ride the speeder on endor as Boba Fett, fine. Kill Emperor Palpatine as Darth maul, Pod race in the Falcon.

I see myself playing this until I manage to unlock everything.. this game is fantastic (I got it a little bit after I got Mario Galaxy, and I don't see myself playing Mario again until I 100% this game, and Mario was a ton of fun).

Anyone else have this? Or play either of the prequels (This game is a combination of the two originals, with some additional extras). The trailer in the game for Lego Indiana Jones looks great too (Which lets you unlock Indy himself and play as him in the SW universe).

Was entertaining for a little while I guess.

What didn't you like? I could see the controls really sucking on the PC, it seems to be well suited for console controls.

It might be infatuation lust, I imagine after it's been 100%'d I won't pick it up again, but in that respect it's like GT2/GT3.

No denying that there, lets just hope it's not on the hero-engine as some nubs speculated.

I play it with my boys. My 8 YO gets pissed at me because I am so slow. Little shit. He has about 60 or 70 % of the game complete and he got it for X-mas.

I made my girlfriend drop out so I could beat the Pod Racing level... she was getting all frustrated, and we ran it like 10 times and I could see she was nearly about to throw the remote through the TV, so I had her drop out and beat it first try.

The game is kind of evil in two player mode... between not splitting the camera, and seeming to have a pre-disposition towards second player

You must play video games like a girl, Goretawn.

That's one thing the PCs profile is missing, I wouldn't mind a Male/Female/Parkbandit display so we can know if you're a guy/girl/old. Mostly so I don't start calling "DieThx" a guy again, not the whole backlash thinks your a man because you like sports reason.

Sadly, I do not have much time to play the Wii. It is all my boys are doing right now, putting in about 12 hours a day.

I'm so jealous of them... 8 YO is what grade? 3rd? What a glorious age.
