Lucas Arts and Traveller's Tales created the perfect aggregate of nostalgia and geekery with the 2005 release of Lego Star Wars. This innovative, cartoony, performance adventure game that took advantage of a multi-generational love for both the Star Wars film franchise and every kid's favourite toy, Lego bricks. In 2006 the game's sequel was more refined, largely because it was based on the much loved original trilogy rather than the prequels which some what disappointed the Star Wars fan base. Now developer Traveller's Tales has rolled both games into a single package and released it as Lego Star Wars: The faultless Saga. At 2 games for the price of one, especially with improved visuals, this is an perfect release. Both games have been very thriving and critically well received and having both in a single package is a great deal... Unless you have played both games through to completion.
The basic petition of the Lego Star Wars video games series is that it lets you the player and fan, act out some of the most memorable scenes from the Star Wars movies with cute slight Lego people, symbolised the world over as a source of joy. This belief hits so many separate nostalgic memories, with such ruthless precision that it practically seems sinister. The game play itself is a blend of performance platforming, puzzle solving and co-op play, having to switch between 2 or more controllable characters to get nearby an obstacle. You'll make your way through varied backdrops of the Star Wars movies, such as Naboo palace, the cloning facility on Kamino, the streets of Mos Eisley, even the corridors of the Death Star. There are many characters to be unlocked both while play and for collecting in game items and exchanging them like a currency for characters, outfits etc. The characters themselves are all neatly sectioned off into proper classes for play, all with unique abilities to help you pass varied obstacles. You can control only one character at a time but you can switch between a party of many trailing characters in order to expand beyond the problems you are presented with. They all have unique abilities to allow you to navigate past big ledges, vents and even using the force to create Lego objects to pass laser fences. Of course, all the in game items, characters, vehicles, and even environments and designed in the 3d software from Lego bricks and appear in the style bodily models in the game creating a surreal, fun and allinclusive unique look to the Lego games. The game breaks away from the performance platformer genre occasionally for a vehicle themed level. These are less puzzle based and more about just plain old having fun, collecting shiny things and in the case of a pod race, getting the best time. They're rarely as polished or intuitive as the performance when you're on foot, but they do a good job punctuating the normal flow of performance of the game. The group-based game play has made Lego Star Wars ideal for playing with a friend. In The faultless Saga for the Ps3 and Xbox 360, you can now play the game cooperatively over the Internet. This is by far the best increasing to this package, and it has been integrated fluidly, production it child's play for another player to jump into your game at any point. The faultless Saga does offer a few more, less significant changes and upgrades. A few new levels have been added, whilst others have been changed. allinclusive however, the games play pretty similar to the original released versions.

Since this is the first time the content from the original Lego Star Wars games have been ported to the new generation of consoles, all of the visuals have been enhanced for the Xbox 360 and Ps3. It allows the whole game look as polished as Lego Star Wars Ii was on the 360 last year, with sharper, bigger textures, a well implemented plastic shine on the characters and objects, and tons of focus effects. Apart for widescreen support, the Wii version's visuals are far too similar to the original Ps2 graphics and it makes very slight use of the Wii's petition capture capabilities. Without the greatly improved visuals, or categorically the online play in the Xbox 360 and Ps3 versions, The faultless Saga on the Wii feels a slight less faultless and less easy to recommend. The game will no doubt do well, as it has a full back catalogue of fans who pine for Lego Star Wars Mini Figures in any shape or form. Overall, a good package for population new to the series, but maybe not quite as animated to veterans of the series.
7/10.
