I got this for my birthday and played it almost strait away after prezie unrapping.It is alot better than LEGO star wars the complete saga (DS),mostly because of the chartacters.Here are the pros and cons:

PROS:
ZUCKUSS!!
biggs darklighter
cool levels

CONS:
glitch mania
cant do "jabbas palace" level in free play
no door to "destiny" level
dum cutscenes

overall
you can buy this if you want,the best thing about it is Zuckuss!!

I bought LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the fair sum of $19.99 last summer. I was expected dumbed down levels of my GameCube game fit for a handheld system, but I was wrong. The DS version offers levels not seen in the platform editions, as well as a free roaming (not restricted to just one screen) multiplayer, and various characters not in the platform game (Biggs Darklighter, for example). However, the game is filled with glitches in many levels, and to complete the game easily I recommend researching a guide on the Internet to help with getting and finding the minikits. There's also a special multiplayer bounty hunter game where you and up to 4 try to capture Han Solo in Carbonite, or just scoring the most kills. It's not perfect, but LEGO Star Wars for DS is a pretty good changeover from the platformers, but the glitches takes the score down a bit, plus the cutscenes are a bit more "random".

When I first got this, I was quite excited, because Lego Star Wars had finally arrived on the DS. I had been a big fan of the TV platform ones.
The Graphics (although still pretty poor) are better than the original Lego Star Wars on the Gameboy Advance, and the levels are more accurate to the PS2 version. The game was fine right through story mode, with only a few minor glitches, but once i started playing free play, I started noticing a large amount of glitches and bugs that made some levels incompletable.
Some examples of these bugs are: The "camera" being stuck behind a wall, so you cannot see where you are going, and endless loop of dying and respawning, falling down a hole, and (instead of respwning) walking around inside the hole.
There are many others.
The creators of the game also made a Sandbox level, where (apparently) all your unlocked characters are supposed to fight each other, but instead it is a desert where nothing happens, and nothing is in it.
So overall, do not buy this game, buy Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on DS Instead, as it is 100 times better

the graphics are bad,
-there are many glitches
-a bad view of the camera angle
-one glitch really, bad. (on jabba's ail barge) I stiil can't get past that part, so i never play it unless i get bored

This is not a Lego set. It is a Video Game, developed for the DS, and released in 2006. Unlike the versions on other platforms, this game is very poorly made. I have not played through it all, nor do I plan to, so this review will be short, and in the form of a Pros/Cons list.

Pros.

.Cheap on the secondary market.

.Easy to pick up and play.

.Definitely ambitious, though that may be a detriment.

.Music is strangely catchy if not horribly compressed.

Cons

.Terrible visuals, even for the DS

.Better versions on other platforms.

.Directional Pad limits range of movement.

. Glitchy beyond belief.

In my opinion, this game tried to bite of more than it could chew, on an underpowered console. Maybe if they downscaled the game, like on the GBA, then it would not be as bad. I do not recommend this and suggest you play Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga on the Wii. Thank you for reading this review.
