• Awesome game!!!

  I love this game so much! its awesome! A++++++ It does get annoying that you have to complete the level before saving but it's fun. If you have the other star wars don't bother. (lego, i mean) It's basically both together. great game! i recommend it!! You save $$ buying the complete saga rather than the other two seperate.
  
  

• Great game!

  This game is incredibly fun and I love playing it on my DS. I only have one issue and it's because I've played the PS2 version, which doesn't have this quirk: you have to complete a level before you save, which is a little annoying since the levels can be long if you're trying to get all the studs.
  
  

• The first good 3D DS action game

  
  By A3D3ECB1F4Y2LE on 2007-12-11
  TT Fusion was able to pull off a great translation of LSW:TCS for DS (when keeping in mind the limitations of DS hardware).
  
  If you love the franchise and cannot get enough of it on the next gen platforms, pick up the DS version. The levels are recognizable, but different enough to give a fresh experience.
  
  I found none of the bugs that plagued the LSWII DS version in this one as it was built from scratch thankfully.
  
  The DS version keeps True Jedi gold bricks for both Story mode and Free Play mode. I prefer this over the new approach with next gen LSW:TCS using a new challenge mode in replacement of a True Jedi.
  
  Criticism: TT Fusion should have gone with a larger cartridge size so they could have had the room needed to make all 36 main levels (instead of only 30), improved some levels like Speeder Showdown to be closer to the original, and have smoother cut-scenes. The extras like Indiana Jones and good outdoor Cantina area are missing. There is a lot less incentive to collect all gold bricks.
  
  Overall this title has set the standard for 3D DS action games. I look forward to more developments from TT Fusion.
  
  

• A big disappointment...

  
  By A1T29BTOVBSEA6 on 2007-12-13
  I played both of the original Lego Star Wars games on Xbox and loved them. Trying to decide what DS game to buy at the store tonight, the choice was between games I didn't know anything about, or one I already knew I loved. Upon getting home and putting it in, I was immediately disappointed. Having just finished The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I have come to expect full use of the DS's touchscreen functionality, and this game fails in that respect. You're forced to control your character with the directional pad, and jump and attack with the ABXY buttons, leaving the touchscreen awkwardly useless, occupied with a big blank spot for force powers and character selection.
  
  Beyond that, the graphics are disappointing, the inability to control the camera is frustrating, and cutscenes are painful to watch in their total lack of effort in 3D rendering.
  
  I may warm up to this title if I keep playing it, but if it weren't too late to return it to the store I would have done so immediately. I never planned to write a review on Amazon (this is my first), but I had to put the word out to hopefully prevent someone like myself from picking it up. If you haven't played the series before, or don't mind playing with GBA-like controls, maybe you'll enjoy it, but if you bought the DS for its unique touchscreen gameplay, this one is an enormous letdown. 0 stars out of 5.
  
  

• Fun, entertaining and well worth the money!

  
  By A1PZSUK3B4FQO3 on 2008-01-14
  I own both the PC versions of the trilogys and wasn't sure if the DS version would be as good.
  Well, it is.
  I have had so much fun playing the levels. I was hoping that I could play the game entirely with the stylus, but after a few levels I didn't even notice. One thing is that there are more levels per film in the PC versions. I believe they skip several levels here, so that there are six levels per film (i.e. A New Hope or Phantom Menace) instead of the ten or so in the PC versions. However, after playing the game and "unlocking" it, thus enableing "free play", you are able to go in with new characters and play a much longer and extended level. Loads of fun. Very cool. Nice graphics. The levels are very close to the PC version, but there are differences to make it new. Also, new mini games not in the PC version make for a very good very cool buy. It's worth the money.
  
  
• Endless fun for my 4-year-olds, and their parents, and *their* parents
  By A2NH0SYHYIOXTR on 2008-03-16
  My twin 4-year olds got a DS, with this game, for Christmas. We never intended to get them a video game at all (for several more years, at least), but it was a gift from a beloved aunt, so what can you do? So we let them play it, now and then, and somewhat to my astonishment, they were both able to play it very well within a few hours of starting. What's particularly interesting is that neither of them can read, or even close (recognize letters is about it), or knew anything about Star Wars, but they manage just fine. Since then, they've seen at least three other DS games, but most of them require reading, or are too boring for them. With this one, there are a lot of words, but none of them matter--they just run around in Star Wars land, chopping up things and people with joyful abandon until we tear the games from their still-twitching hands. They can even play together, wirelessly; this does a really good *cooperative* multiplayer game (they're not fighting each other, so they don't get mad at each other, or competitive with each other). Their 10-year-old friend also has it, and loves it too. And I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that my wife and I sneak the games out of their chargers at night, and play it two-person almost every night after the kids are in bed. To top it all off, their grandmother just bought a DS, after watching them play this, so she can join in the fun. Truly, an enjoyable game for *all* ages--three generations in this household!--and the best *cooperative* multiplayer game I've seen since Sega Genesis Toejam & Earl. What a great present!
  
  
• Lego Star Wars on the DS finally done right
  By AJKWF4W7QD4NS on 2008-06-18
  The last time that the mega popular Lego Star Wars series appeared on the DS was also the first time for the series with Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Sadly, that game was a big disappointment on the DS, but thankfully, things have started anew with Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. With a different development team at the helm, those bad memories of the DS version of Lego Star Wars II become ever distant as the gameplay is re-started from scratch. Playing through all six episodes of the Star Wars saga hasn't been this much fun on a handheld in a while, featuring a very well-designed 3-D engine that runs pretty smoothly (and without any bugs or glitches) and looks pretty good to boot. Everything else about the game, from the emulation of John Williams' classic score to the series' brand of goofy humor, is intact and oh so enjoyable, and wireless co-operative gameplay is a blast as well this time around. If there's any downsides to Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, it's that the game does have an occasional hicuppy frame-rate, and the vehicle-based portions of the game are a little hard to get the hang of at first. All that aside, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is a pure blast, and for DS owning Star Wars fans, consider this an essential pick-up and wipe those bad memories of Lego Star Wars II away.
  
  
• Great!
  By A3I8OURC83NM6V on 2007-12-30
  I'm just getting into playing this, but I have to say this is a pretty awesome game. I am a Star Wars geek anyway, so I would have bought and played this regardless of how good this is. It is good for a laugh because of the way your enemies "die". They break into their Lego parts. LOL It's great. It's a good way to burn some time when there is nothing to do.
  
  
• One of the best games released for DS
  By A2X94TIRLH2F81 on 2008-01-07
  I'm not a very active game player, but this game, I can hardly put down! It's addictive and you look forward to picking up where you left off. This game combines the first 2 Lego Star Wars games into one, and is great fun for anyone into Star Wars and Adventure games in general. A+++++++++++++++++

• Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for DS
  By A1ZLJNRJUMCAK3 on 2008-02-08
  My son really likes this game, however had wanted it for PS2. Unfortunately, they only make it for PS3 and Wii (of course, now he has a Wii, but didn't at Christmas when he received the DS game).
  
  If you are purchasing it for the 12 and under crowd of Star Wars lovers, you can't go wrong.
  
  
• Lego Star Wars - Can't put this down
  By AK2210P1NFMDM on 2008-02-14
  This was a Christmas present for my son. It came in good time for Christmas. My son can't put this one down! The game is really good. Even my husband got into playing it.

  By A2W8FFXV1XMI9J on 2008-03-11
  I bought this for my girls (and myself) and we're having a blast. We do need to read the manual as there are a few things we're obviously missing, but it's all fun just the same. :)
  
  
• Star Wars Complete Saga
  By A1E8DLDOHWQTSV on 2007-12-30
  This is a great game. My son hasn't been able to put it down since Christmas. I have even found myself playing it and very cool to be able to follow the story line as it corresponds to the different movies. Highly recommend this game. My son enjoys the fact they are lego characters.
  
  
• great game
  By A3MQBEJH5SVXZB on 2008-03-11
  This is a great game. It's kinda confusing at first but once you play it a while, you pick it up. Great for star wars lovers!

  I asked my son about this game , he wanted it for Christmas he is 13 yrs old and he was so excited to get it under the tree. He said it is an awesome game, for both Star wars and lego fans.
  
  
• Intervention Needed
  By A1F68T4SAC570 on 2008-09-02
  I ordered this for my 8 year old sons' Nintendo DS. Here is the review in his words: It's freakin' amazing! Everyone in the whole entire world should have this game!! It is SWEET and my favorite level is Jabba's Palace.

• The saga of star wars
  By A3AFPAIZ8TDR66 on 2008-01-14
  My son was over the moon when he rec'd this. It was on time and the price was resonable.
  
  
• Great videogame
  By A145QEZQHV2L8 on 2008-01-19
  I bought this videogame for my son (6 years old). It's the first videogame that we have in the family. He/we absolutely love it. If you have a kid in my kid's age, and you have seen STARWARS episodes, he will love it. There are many levels within each episode and you can play them in story mode and free mode. As you collect "coins" you gain power to purchase characters at the "cantina". That allows you playing General Gevious, Kan Duku, Yoda, a clone, etc. It's been a great purchase and it came home on time before Santa Claus arrived home. TOTALY SATISFIED.
  
  
  
• Not for every player
  By A31R4IM34QQG7V on 2008-02-08
  This book, "Star Wars; The Complete Saga", is not for GameBoy DS. It is for Wii, Playstation? and another system that we do not own. I wish the vendor or publisher had noted this so we would not have wasted time ordering it and then returning it.
  
  
• Everything is OK
  By A5SS1ESZYLLKM on 2008-03-25
  Even though my son has never seen the WS movies before, he is very HAPPY with the game. It look like is a MUST for the NINTENDO DS format.
  
  
• Fun for kids and adults
  By A14YSODSFZWIDZ on 2008-04-11
  My 5 and 7 year olds love this game....and I play it after they go to sleep. The graphics are excellent. It's easy to learn the controls, and it's fun. Definitely a keeper. Highly recommend.
  
  
• Loved this game
  By A2E98UEJAZLMVU on 2008-04-26
  My 4 yr old son got this for his bday. He learned it pretty quick. He loves it and mom and dad likes it too. Way fun. So many different levels to go to.
  
  
• sets become alive, 3-D like
  By on 2008-05-30
  Many lego sets have come out based on this. These are probably really fun, so it's cool to see them more 3-D. The bacta tanks,(as seen in ep.5)let you customise characters, and bring your frankin-steins into play! -3PO and R2 do machines, and some let you play mini-games! You can buy extras, play with a freind, buy hints and characters. Find red bricks, earn gold bricks, find canisters, and more. Play levels, touch-screen games, and watch lego sets and mini-figures come to life! Touch machines, pull levers, watch scenes, throw bombs, use the force, and have fun! Enjoy, and c u L8r!
  
  
• Great Nintendo DS game to play with my son.
  By AWZU6MHP7JHIY on 2008-06-05
  I bought this game with hesitation on how good it would be for Nintendo DS, but it real fun, my son and I are able to link with our Nintendo DS wirelessly and compete againsy each other, there are lots of characters to choose from and lots of events also. I would recommend it.
  
  
• This game is worth every penny
  By AYOOBUX22TXCY on 2008-06-09
  Well I just got the game 2 days ago and I must say it was well worth it. I am not even a big star wars fan but when I read that the gameplay in these lego games was very deep and fun I decided I would give it a go. Immediately I found out that everything they say about it is true. The graphics are amazing and the music is perfect. My only gripe is the quality of the cinemas which is subpar. Some of them manage to be funny like they are supposed to even with the crappy animation, but in other cinemas you can't even tell what's going on, or maybe it's just the fact that I haven't even seen all the star wars movies (I know, shame on me). Anyway, this game is a must have, and from what I can tell it's certainly a longer game than lego indiana jones therefore offers more replay value so I would recommend this one in a heartbeat to anyone.
