Lego Star Wars review for PS3

Whether you're from the very first generation to be shocked by 'Luke, I am your father' or came to the saga at the same time as Jar Jar Binks, the hit Lego Star Wars series is a charming and hilarious retelling of the Star Wars saga, through the perhaps unlikely medium of Lego. This new release, The Complete Saga, is an amalgamation of the two earlier games, and covers all six episodes of Star Wars for the first time on the PS3. If you've played the previous releases, then you'll find yourself replaying many of the same levels here, but there is plenty of new content, including some all new levels, some improvements to existing levels and gameplay and a design facelift. We think it's great fun and great value for money even if you have played the earlier releases - and if you haven't, find out what you've been missing in our Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga review.

Lego Star Wars review for PS3

If, like us, you were a massive fan of Lego Star Wars 2 on PS2, the chances are you'll have also gone back, and made use of the PS3's backwards compatibility to sample the delights of the original game, which dealt with the newer (read : weaker) episodes in the trilogy. However, with all six episodes already covered, we were at a loss as to where the series could go from here.

Giddier than a Wookie on a skateboard with the dream of a Lego version of Shadows of the Empire, we'll admit we were somewhat disappointed when Travellers Tales announced their next game would simply be an amalgam of the previous two instalments, with a few minor tweaks and improvements. Having sat down with the game for many hours, we've realised now that that's nothing but a good thing.
