Lego Star Wars 2

Confirming rumors from last week, LucasArts announced today that it will publish Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, a sequel to the prequel-trilogy-based Lego Star Wars. While this cuts the original game's publisher, Eidos Interactive, out of the loop, fans of the original can rest assured knowing that Traveller's Tales, the team behind last year's dark-horse hit, is once again handling the development duties.

A lighthearted take on the seminal space opera, Lego Star Wars II will follow the saga of George Lucas' money machine from the opening scene of A New Hope right through to the climactic battle of Return of the Jedi, with blocky versions of familiar faces showing up at every turn along the way. And in addition to the on-foot fighting of the first game, players will now be able to get behind the controls of vehicles and ride creatures at will.

The sequel also includes a new Free Play mode that lets gamers create new playable characters from the pieces of existing heroes, unlock more characters with a memory save from the first Lego Star Wars game, and learn character-specific attacks. There's even an advanced mode for experienced players looking for a new challenge.

Absolutely fantastic news, lego star wars was awesome. I played it through with my daughter and we had a great time, it was a bit on the easy side but such a great fun game to play, kinda spoiled the ending of the 3rd movie for me though :cool:

oh yes!

providing there is no podracing sections :mad:

again, it will absolutely rock

I would've thought they would have a speeder section, from endor but that *should* be the only racing type section there is.

A guy I know, his Mrs was involved in LSW1, and also the sequel. To use his words...

"they are working on the other game now, some of the scenes look ace, Snow Speeder shooting level, DeathStar trench run etc... "

Cant really have an original trilogy game without Snow speeders or deathstar trench now can we

Brilliant news. Absolutely brilliant news!

Rincewind · 12 Feb 2006 at 17:34

Brilliant news, the original was one of the most fun games i have played in years.

A lot of people ignored it as they thought it was a kids game, fools.

Yewen · 13 Feb 2006 at 16:20

SCARY!

I have about 2 minutes ago ordered the original for £10 of the interwebbie as I have not played it yet, if I like it then this is great news!

Good news this, I really enjoyed the first one. Me and a mate sat and played through it for about 2 days, was great fun. Even though it looks like a kids game (i'm 24) and there's not a great deal to it, it was one of the more enjoyable and suprising games of last year. Here's a link to the story and some screenshots...

I did this too last year (although I'm a year younger

), had a blast! There aren't that many good co-op games out there. Slapping each other senseless in the latest Tekken loses its novelty real quick. FF:Crystal Chronicles was another good one we hammered through.

Matmulder · 13 Feb 2006 at 19:36

I spent ages with the bro-in-law having co-op fights in the cantina. Darth Maul comes through, smack him with a saber and he gets involved too

Class.

lego

i played the original on X-box i think it was, i rocked.. think im going to have to find a way of "acquiring" a disc..... :rolleyes:

looks fantastic though

Weebull · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:21

Can't wait. The first was great because it was just simple, easy-to-play fun. No unneccesary complexity and millions of options to contend with, just get in, slash enemies, find stuff, and be done with it.

Aye, if you've got the hardware, Crystal Chronicles is a fantastic co-op game, and a right laugh. I've had some great games with some of my housemates, 4 player is absolutely mental, but ace.
