Super game with fitted acting Wii controller

There are many Star Wars games, most do not really have much to do with the actual films. Unlike Lego Star Wars. A few years ago you could play through with a lot of fun the crucial scenes of the films with a high recognition value calculated in a Lego game. Now appearing on the Wii, the two Star Wars Games combined into one. Here is my opinion after the first test:

For those who do not know: The has Lego Star Wars:

The idea sounds stupid, but it was awesome implemented: enact the Star Wars saga with Lego figures. First it is a campaign with 6 key scenes from the 6 movies to deal with. Thus, there is at first so 36 levels. In the Campaign is fixed with what character you play that level. And even here the fun begins, because every group of figures has at least one particular strengths and plays differently. Here are some examples:
Jedi knights fighting with the lightsaber, may well jump and of course have the power that can be applied to many objects and need. And even here Luke plays quite differently than, say, Yoda.
Blaster Protect struggling with the gun and have a grappling hook with which they can swing on other unereichbare platforms. Han Solo example, in addition to shoot even faster.
Droids can open certain doors or a piece of flying
Small Anakin can crawl through narrow shafts
Sith Lords have normal skills nor the dark side of power available. Only with one can affect certain items. In addition, for example, has the Emperor's lightning attack and a special tip it ...
Due to this many characters to Lego Star Wars plays very varied. The puzzles opportunities through the special abilities are fully utilized. Per episode there are at least 1 vehicle level, mostly to fly here in the spaceship. Otherwise you stiffens through levels, broods a bit, give collects falling Lego stones the points and fighting stormtroopers, droids or even Dath Vaider. The fights run this from totally disabled child. The death of a Lego opponents he breaks into small particles Lego. This looks partly of quite funny and makes it especially for players of all ages safe. Man himself may also die, but frustration comes not on. Sirbt one you resurrect at the same place and only loses a few points. This story campaign can be solved but quite fast. Pro level you need a rule so that even inexperienced players have played all 6 episodes after a few hours for 10-15 minutes. But who now thinks he has seen it all disabused quickly: Each level that you've made in the story mode you can now play outdoor game.
The free game is the real heart of the game. In the campaign there are always doors that can not can not open with the standing to available people, or platforms that you have simply not reached. Outdoors game you can choose between a certain number of characters back and forth. So one discovers new spaces where there are sometimes special rewards, some are simply right oblique gags to admire. Man caught in the pool relaxing stormtroopers, builds with its Jedifähigkeiten a control room in a disco to the all adjacent figures make you dance. Or you can find LEGO parts you can assemble a vehicle that you can use. Skurilstes example: Darth Vaider builds with its dark Jedifähigkeiten a tractor together in order to drive on a race track ... In some cases the level of the additional opportunities for outdoor play are partly twice as large as it was thought.
In addition, you can find all the so-called mini-kits with the free game. The 10 containers per level. If you have all found in one level there's not only a hefty reward points with which you can unlock new characters like the Imerperator and play themselves, but also one of the 160 Golden Legos. Once you have a certain number of these stones there's always the bonus level. In addition, there is a secret Red stone per level. One can find this you can buy a certain extra in the shop. But so real thriller as the Minikit Detector or invulnerability are very expensive and you have to collect a lot of stones which one rubs this level again to play ... It is for the player who has the campaign, but want to see more each Mange commanded.
Emphasize one has even the super co-op mode. Couple makes it twice as much fun here at puzzles. A second player can get off at any time during a game now and then. If the game is already very well alone, as a couple, it's a real firecracker.

What's new in The Complete Saga "?

There are whole new level, but probably not really a lot (in Episode 1-5 it was strictly speaking only one level, that can actually in the main game hardly more to come). With the bounty hunter missions, I have not yet been employed (this one must all bounty hunters buy what I can not). Again, there are reportedly 10 new missions. Considering that a bounty hunter mission usually takes a few minutes and it still is just one small part of an existing level, which is not as much as it sounds.
However, there are outdoor game really discover more and the mission design was changed, some levels were increased. This is really fun. Also found in Episodes 1-3 can now ask which one can enter only with dark power or Termaldetonatoren the bounty hunter. Whether that's a reason to buy for someone who has played the games already on other platforms must each decide for themselves.

The advertised character designer already existed in Lego Star Wars 2 (LSW2). Is quite funny but without major changes. Generally, I've hardly used it already in LSW2. But you can build a very versatile character indeed. For example, a Jedi with dark forces and stormtroopers head (which you need to open certain doors) ...

For Story Mode and the free game is a third version of the game added: The Challenge Mode. In certain time you have to collect all the mini-kits per level, then there's a reward. However, this mode is only two playable.

The Super Story is also back on board. Here you have to play through an entire episode in vorgegebner time and collect 100,000 stones.

One can find power-ups can be stronger the short time the figure.

While it was already possible in LSW2 characters play from Episode 1-3, all went but very cumbersome or if you had deleted his old Score not. Here there is no problem with the merger of the two games to one.
As expected, the changes so rather cosmetic.

The Wii controller: Part 1 - general control

The Wii controller is slightly out of hand. Using directional pad or thumb stick on the Nunchuck moved to his character. The camera is automatic and can not be corrected. That works mostly well, sometimes it gets a little confusing but unfortunately (especially if you play in pairs). The key assignment is reasonable and goes quickly into flesh and blood. With the keys, you can perform all the actions that you need. Whether simple shock or jump attack, it comes completely without arm movement. So if you is not on fidgeting will rejoice.

The Wii controller Part 2 - motion controller

Here the game away a lot of potential. As I said, with the keys to reach everything what you want, which makes the movement support unnecessary. If you can assemble Legos by On / build faster motion with Wii-mote and Nunchuck, one uses the Jedi forces can by moving right and left of these Nunchuck inserting faster. That sounds as superfluous as it is.
But hey, it was the speech that you can control the lightsaber with the Wii-mote I think. That sounds great when I am under attack so I pull the Wiimote upwards and actually Obi Wan pulls his heavy. A moment of happiness! But only a short. Full of enthusiasm, I swing my Wii-mote. Although Obi Wan oscillates too, but not nearly as how I'm doing. Every oscillation, whether forward, backward, up or down is counted as one keystroke. So why if I can swing the keys more accurately meeting. Although the jump attack works as described (high jump with lightsaber and then let Saussen the Wiimote down), but it works just as well with a button so that you after a short time as an ordinary console sits and plays. Here I was really disappointed

Conclusion:
For those unfamiliar with the game there is of me a full purchase recommendation. Humor, atmosphere, presentation and above all fun and long-term motivation are combined here to a super game concept of action and puzzles deposits. Especially for 2 players, there are hardly any better.
Who already knows the game and it mainly buys because he wants to test the advertised lightsaber control and a completely new feel it should be hoped that however the fingers. As with so many titles the Wii motion controller acts here as loose accessory that has not been integrated wirkich sense into play. Therefore, 5 stars for the game but because of the disappointment in the control only (mild) points 4 and Appreciation.
