LEGO® Star Wars™ - The Complete Saga

Best Lego game ever made must play must vibe too

It's my childhood and it's still fun to play nowadays. Love to make my own custom character and use it in Free Play.

It's a great game. I played it growing up and still frequently play it with my siblings. The levels still hold up almost two decades later, and the soundtrack is also fantastic, essentially being the same soundtrack used in all of the movies. Unfortunately, the combat is mediocre at best, as nearly every enemy has only one heart. Most of the time, I end up just spamming the Jedi Slam attack to deal with large groups of enemies. Other than that, it's an excellent game—100% worth buying on sale.

best game ever made no other game can compete not even black ops 6

A fun Star Wars game although it is outdated now due to the Skywalker saga, but its still quite fun.

it's a fun collection of the first six episodes of Star Wars

Okay, this review is going to be different from my previous ones because I wanted to 100% LSWTCS before I got this review out so that I could share my thoughts on one of my favorite video games of all time. By the way, if I start to get cynical in this it’s because I was playing this game for like 50+ hours for full completion. So, I apologize in advance. Also, I will be leaving out “Presentation” and “Story” here. I know this is a departure from my previous reviews, but I don’t want to waste your time.

Gameplay

So, for full disclosure, I actually played the Nintendo Wii version of LSWTCS when I was younger before I got this game on Steam. I also played LSW 1 and 2 on XBOX, so I pretty much know how these games work. Also, no, I do not support Microsoft or XBOX anymore after the clown show they pulled an EA and shut down these studios. Anyway, back on topic. Before you start actually playing the game, I highly recommend that you bind your gamepad controls in the “Control Setup” menu: Tag – North, Special – West, Jump – South, Action – East, Character Toggle Down – D-Pad Down, and Character Toggle Up – D-Pad Up. Once you start a file, you are thrown into the cantina, which acts as a hub world, and you immediately take control of either Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan Kenobi. I guess now’s a good time to talk about the different playstyles. Since TCS begins with the Prequel Movies, your first playthrough will start with Episode I. Now I hope I am wrong, but once you finish Chapter 1 of Episode I, all the episodes are unlocked. Throughout the game you will be presented with different styles, Jedi/Siths, Blaster Users, Bounty Hunters, Droids, Jar Jar Binks and “Jar Jar with Spear and Shield (I forgot what the other character’s name was, sorry),” and your custom character. Sorry to keep this segment short, but I’ll talk about this more as we go on. Also, I encourage you to watch Jay Exci’s video on TCS as it goes more into depth on this game than me.

Combat

Since this game is based off the Star Wars franchise, you know there has to be combat here. Playing as an adult now, it’s fine, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. While you are playing as a Jedi/Sith, you can use your lightsaber to perform a 3-hit combo. One aspect I learned by complete accident was that the combat was also proximity-based. I encourage you all to go watch Bio-Roxas and Yahya Danboos’ videos about proximity-based combat, they explain it much better than I can. But the best way I can describe the combat here is that if an enemy is behind you, you press they attack button to swing your lightsaber to attack the enemy behind you. Not only will you perform combos, but you will also do jump attacks as well. You can do a downward slash by jumping once and pressing the attack button or an AOE ground pound that will destroy enemies and objects around you. You can also deflect blaster fires by attacking or timing your button presses to deflect it back at the enemy before the blast hits you. By the way, when you encounter a lightsaber boss, you can abuse either the downward slash or AOE attack to make them look like pushovers. What’s the matter, bosses; too much of a coward to face players like man? Jokes aside, the bosses are really easy. However, this is a game targeted towards kids so that’s understandable.

It’s time to talk about the blaster playstyle. Characters like Leia, Han, and Chewie, for example, can use blasters to shoot enemies from a distance. However, if you want to be a man and throw hands, you can get close to an enemy and slap them if you’re a female or punch them if you’re a male. However, if I am wrong, this is only present for IV-VI characters. Another feature that is exclusive to the IV-VI characters is dodging blaster fire. Aside from controlling characters, you can also control ships. To be honest, I found controlling these ships to be tedious. Not frustrating, just tedious, especially when you are bombarded with enemy fire which will kill you in a few seconds and you lose your studs. Speaking of which, when you die, the only punishment you get is losing your studs, which is this game’s currency, and even when you don’t have studs, you don’t get a game over, you just respawn at the spot where you die. Again, this was meant for kids, so that’s understandable. The only complaint I have about the combat is that multiple enemies will bombard you with blasts and they respawn. I hate it when games have multiple enemies attack you and respawn constantly to create artificial difficulty. But it is what it is. Oh, and also, screw those LEGO bats!

Combat: 9/10

Puzzles

As for the puzzles, I find these to be fitting considering that most of the environment is LEGO. Not only will you be building objects by using LEGOs or the force, but you can also push and destroy objects in order to progress or reveal more LEGOs to solve puzzles. One area that I got stuck in while I was a kid was the beach on Ep. III C. 4. What I didn’t realize is that I had to use Yoda’s force ability to pull up one of the plants in order for Chewie to get up on the bridge and shoot the targets. Aside from that though, the puzzles are not even hard. In fact, I’d argue that even a kid can solve them. BTW IGN, kids are NOT stupid, they are smart enough to solve these puzzles, even if they need help. Sorry for that tangent, I just hate it when people treat kids as if they are not smart.

Puzzles: 10/10

Collectibles

Much like SM64, Banjo-Kazooie, and BfBB, we also got a collect-a-thon here. However, if you want to check out Traveller’s Tales’ previous works, they made other collect-a-thons like Disney/Pixar’s A Bug’s Life and TS2: BLttR. Aside from collecting studs, you also collect minikits that are scattered throughout the levels. Once you collect all 10 minikits in each level, you get a complete mini-ship. There are also red bricks hidden in the levels as well, and if you have most of the characters unlocked, you can use them to get to out-of-access areas to get the minikits and red bricks. These red bricks unlock extras in the cantina’s shop, and are available to buy with studs. Oh, and get this, TT went the extra mile to include a challenge mode in which you have to find blue minikits as well. However, most of them are hidden in cryptic places that I used walkthroughs to help me. Also, there are gold bricks that you get for completing a Story level, getting “True Jedi” with a set number of studs, and getting all the minikits. There are like 160 of these things and you get the rest by completing the extra story mode and bounty hunter levels. Now disagree with me on this, but I hated the LEGO City levels because I was really confused on where the studs were, and you have to get 1M of them. So, what did I get for 160 gold bricks? A golden stud dispenser that also unlocks all extras. Despite me being drained from these collectibles, I still had fun playing this game and trying out all the customers.

Collectibles: 8/10

Final Verdict

So, what are my overall thoughts? Well, even as an adult and aside from the bugs I encountered, I still love LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and the amount of love and care that was put into this game. I also really appreciate how it pokes fun and most of them got a laugh out of me. So, after making this review, I think I’ll give my thoughts on The Skywalker Saga at some point in the future. Not going to lie, I am not looking forward to playing that game again after being bored from playing it. Anyway, thank you all for reading and stay safe out there.

Final Verdict: 27/30

So nostalgic and I will forever love this game, would be cool to see achievments added

I owned this game as a kid and I loved it a lot, and when I bought the game here I decided I wanted to 100% it and then give a review.

I loved playing this game, it brought back a lot of happy memories and it still held up pretty good all these years later. The humor wasn't as good as I remembered it, but it also was still pretty funny. The game-play is still very smooth with occasional issues controlling vehicles. The game works fine for single-player, but it was definitely made with two players in mind.

Overall I still loved this game and I would recommend getting it whether you never have tried it or have played it and you want to relive some memories

Good Game from my childhood but the last 3% of the game just took way to long ;D

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3354358433

best game ever ! the new one is doo doo !

Great game, original music and story, perfect for Star Wars fans but not only. Great to buy on sale. Alot characters and fun puzzles.

10/10 would smash lego jabba

an Amazing collection of all 6 episodes of star wars and there's a lot too collect. One could argue too many things to collect.

After 100% this game, I can safely say it deserves the reputation it gets, but holy Mary mother of Jesus Christ I will never be doing that again.

fantastic game always brings me right back to my childhood, still the best lego game ever!

Im a 23 year old man with soon to be 100 hours in this game. Its good...

Game plays like a flaccid malnurished penis, graphics look like lego, not star wars (Why does anakin's hair look so fucking bad). Also there's no dialogue making it boring and lazy, They ruin some of the franchises most heartbreaking scenes by adding in disney aah humour (look no further than liam neesons death). I reckon my uneducated ass could make a better star wars game, because this shit managed to raise gen z (a bunch of tiktok drones).

Excellent game, brings back a lot of nostalgia from when I played as a kid. The controller settings are a bit funky, it sometimes loads as a keyboard first then you habe to manually tell it to be the controller. Other than that one of my all time favorites

This set the overall gameplay of the LEGO TT series and they knocked it out of the park. It's been maybe a decade since I last played, and while I don't have as much enjoyment of this one compared to some others, it held up extremely well. It's consistently iconic. The Super Story and Challenge Minikits really sucked a lot of fun out, but they learned quickly by not implementing that in future games. Introduced major icons of gaming with the GONK Droid, so play for that reason alone.

Best Game Ever!

Ah, LEGO® Star Wars™ - The Complete Saga—the OG of LEGO games. Nothing groundbreaking, but man, what a gem. Sure, the textures are a bit rough, and the graphics might look like someone rubbed sandpaper on them, but hey, it’s a LEGO game from 2006! Who cares?

The real joy of this game is the classic LEGO charm. Blasting droids, building random stuff, and watching your favorite Star Wars characters get broken down into a pile of bricks is just chef’s kiss. It’s simple, it’s nostalgic, and it’s got that perfect mix of fun and frustration when your co-op buddy accidentally smacks you off a cliff for the 15th time.

Yeah, it might not hold up visually compared to today’s games, but let’s be honest—nobody plays this for cutting-edge graphics. We’re here for the pew-pew and the brick-breaking goodness.

Randy Rating: 4.0/5 — Classic LEGO fun, rough around the edges, but still a great time. It’s from 2006—who cares about the graphics?

This is basically my childhood. The recent lego star wars game has shinier graphics and more content, but I actually think I prefer the level design in this one.

beautiful game. this game made history and will forever be the best lego game to exist

Lego + Star Wars = Classic

A classic that is best played in co-op. It is a bit dated and the vehicle segments aren't the best but it is worth a look if you want a family friendly game.

Never will there be another game that invokes such a joyous feeling.

The game is as the original. With amazing couch co-op mode. But, it made my Samsung G9 ultra-wide monitor crash :c I dont know how it managed to do that. But I wasnt able to turn off my monitor, just a constant black screen, I had to disconnect the power to fix it. For now, im just playing on my tiny 1080p monitor. Cant wait to play it with my girlfriend though when she comes over <3

This is a very classic lego game. Played it as a child and now i'm a grown man playing it. The fun never stops! except for the time to do the pod race level....

It has Indiana Jones in a Star Wars game. Literally the greatest crossover of all time. What more could you ask for?

If you like Star Wars and have a goofy side to you (playing it in Lego blocks) then this is a good game to return to the galaxy far far away

A vary fun game that's family-Friendly. A LEGO video game at it's best.

fun, hours of gameplay, endless mechanics, although old still brings back memories and nostalgia

It's fun and it don't have that sequel. Better reasons to play it, right?

Very solid and stable PC port of a game that almost everybody knows and loves. You can even play Co-Op with your friends through Steam Remote Play. There's really no reason not to pick up this game, especially when it goes on sale. It's the original Lego title that started it all.

Did I buy this game on the basis of nostalgia alone? Yes.

Did I regret it? No.

Does the game hold up on its own? Yes.

Is my review score unbiased? No.

9/10

Best game of my childhood and still is, I would 100% recommend this over the Skywalker Saga.

This game is the greatest example of how to make a Lego video game. I personally played Lego Star Wars II more, but did play TCS from time to time at a friends house. I had an extremely fun time going for 100% completion, and felt very accomplished at achieving it, so much so that I felt a void in me when there was nothing left to do. This is one of the few games I wish I could wipe from my mind to replay it all over again.

10/10

A classic with amazing game play that's till holds up a decade later. Definitely worth picking up and running through at least once

An "experience" is going to be subjective to your perspective making it unique to you. This is one of the single best games ever made and there is truly nothing as special on this planet compared to lego star wars.

jogo mt bom parabens ae pros criador

A childhood and certified hood classic

Bounty hunter is the worst level I've ever played. 100% completed the game with Jacob aka LayeredMango775 on twitch. Shoutout frogarchist on yt. 4-LOM.

After just completing a 100% run of the game, I can definitely say Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga still holds up today. This classic isn’t just you wearing your nostalgia blinders, this game still provides plenty of challenges and has tons of fun to be had. It’s still one of the best Lego games, and an excellent Star Wars game. 10/10

honestly i s=wish i waited fro a deal. couldve saved 40$... sigh.. still its fun atleast.

I have countless hours of this on another console. Great for kids and still enjoyable as an adult.

no lego games have the type of charm and replay value like the old ones its official i hit unc status

God tier game. One of my favourites since it includes great gameplay, not a lot of bugs, and brings alot of nostalgia for me. Highly recommend!

Played it on the Playstation 3 as a kid. Best Lego game ever made. Better for a child`s development than CocoMellon.

loved this game so much, cant play it anymore cause it wont run on monitors that dont support lower refresh rates. never heard of this problem before regardless of how old games are. just goes to show how crap of a port this game was.

my monitor does not have an option lower than 144, and it cannot be forced to be lower by my graphics card without going black screen. this game does not support higher than 60 at all and wont ever launch.

do not buy on steam. get it for original hardware if possible or emulate it cause the emulators fix this problem for you.
