The "Lego Star Wars" Video Games

These are two of the most popular video games ever made. Based on the Star Wars films, the games present a humourous view of some of the events. The first one has levels starting with the Trade Federation "Negotiations" and ending with Mustafar "Darth Vader." The second game is one that I just got a few days ago. From what I've read, it starts with the first scene from the film, "Secret Plans," and ends with the battle above Endor. What is so fun about the games is the humour and the fact that everything is made of some type of Lego brick. When the story is told, no words are used. Instead, the players pantomime the actions, with some very funny results. There are many fun things to do besides playing the levels, like trying to get Lego studs for currency so that you can buy extra characters, or finding "minikits" in the levels to build vehicles, and in the second game, ride them. All in all, I think the second game has more fun things to do. Extra levels, extra bricks and things to find, more attacks, and enough things to do so that it will take at least twice as long to finish it as the first one. Any Star Wars or Lego fanatic should play this game. It tells the story in a whole new way.
