What an adorable game. The characters do a lot of funny things, and just having the environments made of LEGO makes everything a lot of fun. Many well-loved plot segments from the movies are present here, and the game play is set up such that if you go wrong and your character dies, you just pick right up in the same place--even young and unskilled players will be able to get through the story with some persistence.
The only difficulty I had was in figuring out what I was supposed to do on a few levels. I eventually figured them all out though. (Note to self: don't forget that R2-D2 can fly, like in the prequels!)
What's great about it: Whimsical fun
What's not so great: Occasional difficulty telling what you're supposed to do
