Synopsis:
-Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is a Lego-themed platformer/adventure game.
-I will honestly say I probably played this game for 500 hours when I was a kid. This and its predecessor Lego Star Wars: The Video Game.
-Filled with nostalgia, this game showcases the story of A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi in a fun and unique way.
Pros:
-I love the nostalgia.
-This game has unlimited charm. The puzzles are engaging, colors are vibrant. Still fun to play even 17 years later.
Cons:
-Graphics are a bit outdated.
-Some achievements are actually a bit difficult. This is the first time I attempted getting every level done without dying, and some of them (Notably Into the Death Star, the last level) gave me a terrible time.
-Fixed camera POV can be really annoying sometimes.
Analysis:
-Storyline is phenomenal.
-Gameplay is fun.
-Mechanics are decent.
-Graphics are subpar.
-It isn’t difficult if you aren’t concerned about achievements. The no-dying achievements are a bit difficult.
Is it worth it?
-Is the game worth the price? Yes. It is frequently on sale for less than $5 on the Microsoft store
-Is the game on game pass? No.
-Is the grind worth the gamerscore? I’d say so. It only took me 28 ½ hours.
-Easy completion? No.
-Would I play this game if it had no achievements? Yes. And I did. Over and over and over.
TBD Score: 8.11
