Summary: Welcome, Daddy, to the World of Electronic Gaming...
Comment: I bought my little boy the Lego Star Wars II (original trilogy) game to play on our IMac (the all-white one with the Intel Core Duo processor). I checked into the system requirements, asked a lot of questions, and even had extra RAM installed to assure that it would work. He loved it, but I (mostly my hands) got tired of playing using the keyboard. So, I purchased two Mad Cat controllers at the Apple store, went home, and the thing cranked away happily. I figured I'd never have to resort to keyboarding again.
I then purchased Lego Star Wars I. I figured it would work on my machine as-is, but, a day or so after we began playing, the controllers stopped working. I called Aspyr, and was told the controllers I have aren't supported by the game; there's a list of supported controllers in the ReadMe file on the disk.
I know this game was actually released first, so maybe the later, original trilogy game is compatible with more hardware (eg, the Mat Cat controllers). I thought the controllers would be OK because they seemed to work with my machine and operating system. I didn't realize the game software could reject them.
All this wouldn't matter so much were it not for the fact that we can't progress past a point midway through the third "movie," where we try and try to jump up and shoot General Grievous, but the keyboard buttons don't seem to be able to do it. I've researched the walk-throughs and tips on the internet without success, and I'm not about to spend $40 or more for another pair of controllers just to get a better shot at General Grievous. If anyone has any ideas re: how to get past this, I'd love to hear your comments.
I don't know whether Aspyr is to blame for all of this or what, but it's been an expensive lesson about the level of detail and checking I'll need to go through next time I want to purchase a game for my IMac. Probably the moral of the story is, Play ball outside with your kid.

Summary: Great game for all ages
Comment: If you'd like a game that you can play with your young child at the same time this is a great one. My son is four years old and he absolutely loves this. Characters never die so you can play as long as you like. It also has challenges for the adults. It's cute while also action packed. Clearly, this is not a game for the hardcore gamer but a lot of good fun.
Customer Rating:
Summary: way too much
Comment: When you first open up the game it is a thrill. THe kids love identifying their favorite characters and the sounds are the genuine article straight from the movie's soundtrack. But the game gets complex quickly and the frustration level soon rises. Add to that the ease of use and the constant presence of enemies and the kids end up spending way too much time just in fights. And what kid can resist a light saber? The net benefit of this game is minimal.

Summary: AWESOME GAME!!
Comment: I have twin boys 4 1/2 years old and they LOVE this game. Sometimes they need my help through the really hard scenes but once they see how it's done they can replay it and do it themselves. They've earned their way and now have all the characters and the love to play in Free Play mode and toggle though the people and the fun never stops. Runs great on my iMac 20" G5 2 GHZ with 1GB Ram. Get this and also get Lego's Star Wars II: Original Trilogy!!!!

Summary: Addictive game!
Comment: My 6-year-old son, who is a Star Wars fanatic, paid for this game with his allowance money. With it being the most expensive item he's ever purchased (it took him a long time to save up for it), it sure has taught him the value of saving! HE LOVES IT! Obsessed. We have to set a timer; otherwise, he'd play all day! :)
He's familiar with various scenes from the movies, and this game does a really great job of re-creating those scenes. It's amazing how many different challenges he has to work through; it never gets old. Also, the game allows him to save so that he comes back to where he left off in his journeys. Also, he gets some daddy time, as my husband really likes playing, too. It's even fun for me to just sit and watch him/them play, very entertaining. VERY CUTE!
