Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (360)
Another game that’s great for co-op gaming with the wife. Like Mario, it looks lovely – but not as polished. Like Mario, it sounds great – but it’s using the movie’s sounds. Unlike Mario, it feels slightly clunky to control and deaths often seem random. That’s not a problem, though. The joy of the game doesn’t come from the base gameplay, from the Star Warsy Legoness of it all.
This is two great pieces of Star Wars merchandise polished up and put into one package. It’s fantastic value for fans of the Star Wars universe. A good game in great clothes.
And you can give Darth Maul a giant afro.

It feels cheap as hell, deathwise, and you’re constantly falling off ledges due to depth perception issues or your partner running to the edge of the screen, coop characters don’t do what they’re meant to unless you coax them just right, there are some infuriating boss battles (Mr Freeze can go fuck himself) and the

Another decent Star Wars game. I’ve not played many levels yet – and I’m playing on Easy, which is may have been a mistake – but this seems like a solid, unspectacular tower defense game. But it’s got a Star Wars theme, so that raises it from “good” to “great” for me. I love Star

For Star Wars fans only, this one. Which isn’t to say it’s bad, but that without any emotional attachment to the content it definitely won’t be worth three quid. In many ways an update to the original arcade game, you start out dogfighting above the surface of the Death Star, then fly down the trench,

By the standards of licensed children’s tat, this isn’t bad. There are two missions – a Clone mission which is a scrolling twin-stick shooter and a Jedi mission which feels a bit like Lego Star Wars without the the Lego. I enjoyed myself, but if a game’s got “Star Wars” in the title then I

Made a start on The Last Crusade today, doing the first two or three levels, which were excellent.

Temple of Doom completed! Willie got somewhere she shouldn’t on the last level and the game went mad, vibrating the controller to an insane extent, but it sorted itself out after my wife dropped out and came back in. I don’t care what people say, this is great fun. If annoying at times.

This is thoroughly enjoyable stuff with a co-op partner. Even when the game glitches and you have to restart a level. Today my wife and I did the first couple of levels of the Temple of Doom. It was all as enjoyably bashy as the Lego games are meant to be.

Finished off Raiders of the Lost Ark with the wife last night. It’s very good fun, but the perspective makes some jumps hard in co-op mode, where the camera can’t move around to the best angle for you.

Just one level last night. At some point my wife and I switched characters and couldn’t work out how to change back. I’m Indy, she’s Marion, that’s how it is. Except last night. Tch.

Goodness, but the levels are long in this game. My wife and I played co-op for over two hours and only managed to do the first four levels. It’s good fun, though, if sometimes a bit fiddly when it comes to jumping and aiming. I’d also like to work out why my wife got some
