Great game. Lego games come with SecuROM DRM. behold. My son and I have had fun with it. While investigating reasons behind my computer's tendency to reboot and/or freeze without warning. Thanks for screwing up my computer LucasArts.
The game is alot of fun. It's more for the younger children, but I enjoy it even being much older
But talking about the game, I consider playing was imprived and it is so easy to play thatmy 5 yo son is becoming a true Jedi in this game. Here again we have a SW videogame, as its precedor, this is an unusual way of the force. Now you have the chance to control certain ships from the films and recreate your own story along the Original trilogy. I am quite sure those of my generation, about 30-something will enjoy this very much, and for the younger ones, I think it is a nice way to spend time after doing homework, not to mention the chance to spend time with the kids playing and reinforcing family bonds. Another interesting issue is adding the save game from the previous game, however, it took me some days to figure out how to do it and I had to cotact Lucasarts support, no complain about this because the answer was delivered fast and after this there was no big deal. COmpared to the orginal game, this is a little bit more difficult because now you have several tasks to solve in order to finish the game with a 100%. It was just another Vista issue where you know you have several directories about your account. So get your favorite bounty hunter and start collecting all the red bricks and Lego containers to solve the game.
The game has gotten stuck many times because we accidently walked over the the mix and match character tubes. It's a really fun game, my only problem is the character mix and match feature. It only works if only one person is using the game (the other person has dropped out) and even then, it doesn't work well. Kind of annoying, but the rest of the game (so far we're about half way through) is really fun (not to mention funny).
(The boys were 8 & 9 then). Since I didn't see my sons physically lashing out at each other when they got angry or frustrated, (after hours of playing Legos Star Wars) I was encouraged. I have noticed that my sons and their friends take both the video storylines and can role play with their lego toys longer than they used to. As a parent who is reluctant to provide "fighting" games for my boys, I started off with the LEGO Star Wars video game, 6 months ago at Christmas 2007. It is easy enough for them to handle, yet challenging enough for them to have to work at it and not get bored. I like to encourage imaginative play and this video game actually helps them do just that. Who would have thought.
So in June 2008, I bought the Indiana Jones Lego video game. I figured that the leap in their minds from legos battling to my boys physically fighting was pretty great. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original AdventuresBoth boys and their friends love to play it. (Mom age 51)
