So jogging - or in the case of Yoda: limping - is now so to passable set to music Star Wars tunes through the levels and säbelt depending on character with great effect humming lightsaber or not quite as effective sounding Blaster opponents around. In each level there are other than the simple "get through" even to do some side quests. You search for hidden Lego blocks and mini-kits. In addition, you collect in the best "Pac Man" style diligently scattered everywhere lying Legosteinchen a - you collected enough of them completed it the "True Jedi Mode" which in turn brings extra points.
The mini-games are included entertaining. So there podrace and space battles, as well as doors that want to be cracked by "Lego Tresorrad": one must select on a rotating wheel on the touch screen a predefined sequence of Legosteinchen this within a certain time.
Speaking touchscreen. This specialty of the Nintendo DS was actually integrated very nicely into play. Thus, eg, the use of "power" entirely using the touch screen, you have this then slide in a predetermined direction on the touch screen. Here a little annoying: the use of the stylus is impractical because the game otherwise controlled exclusively via console and one would have to change constantly, so you will - as in the manual also describes - the thumb and has in a short time and with clean washed ugly smears fingers on the touchscreen.
Playful gives me the game little problem, it would sometimes even like may be a bit more difficult. One dies as one rises against a deduction in the collected Lego bricks up again. A limited number of lives would not have been noticed.
Long-term motivation draws LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga of why the search of all the hidden extras. First you have to have played a level in "Story Mode" to unlock it for free game. In Story mode, you only have the characters to choose from who were present in the movies and therefore comes due to lack of special abilities not manage to connect all the above-stretched extras. So you want to see everything and enable it (hopefully) connected Secrets is one already therefore required to play through the levels more than once.
Conclusion: for me, since I do not own the predecessor, is LEGO Star Wars all in all a great hit. Star Wars in your pocket with sympathetic characters, nice Star Wars Feeling seasoned with a touch of irony. But Brillenputztuch keep ready ... :-)
Whether the advertised by the manufacturer innovations justify a purchase if you know the predecessor already but I can not judge because they were unfamiliar.
