BBC NEWS | Technology | Forceful fun of Lego Star Wars: "A game based on a toy based on a film sounds like a cynical marketing ploy... Lego Star Wars figures are brought to life, given hilariously expressive faces and dropped into scenes from the second movie trilogy...The final third of the game tracks the story of the secrecy-shrouded Episode III, in a unique taster/spoiler.
...Everything is recreated in impressive detail and absolutely looks like it is built from bricks. Characters and creatures are faithful to both Lego and Star Wars. They are much more flexible than their plastic counterparts but the appearance is spot-on, right down to the stick-on hairpieces...Though menacing on film, Darth Maul becomes deliberately ridiculous as a squat Lego figure running around on stumpy legs.
The game restores humour to a franchise perilously low on laughs since Han Solo exited. Lego Star Wars is happy to load cut-scenes with visual gags and even pauses for gratuitous and surreal dancing interludes.
The impassioned frowns and comical noises made by the Lego men adds to the fun - the sound Jar Jar Binks makes when he plummets off a ledge is both funny and hugely satisfying.
John Williams' familiar musical score runs throughout and adds to the ridiculousness, as the determined little figures do battle to the solemn strains of an orchestra in full flow... The game rarely impresses visually, but it's the sheer charm of seeing Lego men play Star Wars that wins you over.... any game that features Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee as Lego characters has to be doing something right."
