There’s a ton of exploring to do in everywhere and fun little puzzles hidden everywhere ! If you just B-line it to story mission it does tend to go fast. I took my time and got through the phantom menace in 2 and a half hours !
Honestly I’m not surprised that this game is a success. Tt games has always given us great Lego video games. I mean just look at the Lego Incredibles, LOTR, the Hobbit. I played them and they’re Great! Honestly I can say that every single Lego video game ever made is a solid 10. I still remember playing Lego Star Wars 1 when I was a kid. Lol 😆. It’s really cool that the companies that handle these Lego games really do care about the product and the customers. Also we need A Star Wars battlefront Lego game lol 😆
@@NostalgiaGaming977 I agree dude. it was just a joke lol 😆. I would like a battlefront three but in my opinion I want battlefront two to be finished first. I really want that final DLC that we were going to get before EA cut the live service. I think it was going to be Padme and Ahsoka with a Corasant(I forgot how to spell that) and the villains would be Ventress with jango Fett or cad bane. Obviously I know that EA is going to avoid that idea but I’m just saying that It would be cool if that happened.
@@Steel-101 Ah, yeah I'm still waiting for a lot of things. 1. Heroes/villians: Ahsoka, Padme, Ventress, Mace Windu, etc. 2. Maps: Corusaunt, Mustafar, Dagobah, etc. 3. Modes: Hero Hunt, Walker Assault, More options when playing (such as choosing which age, map, etc. In modes like galactic assault) 4. Better & More interesting campaign, like, Jedi: Fallen Order level campaign.
@@NostalgiaGaming977 dude your list is perfect. And yeah the campaign wasn’t the best. I’ve had this game since 2017 and I never touched the campaign. I was too busy slicing up droids with Luke Skywalker in the custom games mode. lol 😆
Exactly.. it was better they got it right.. and people who wait patiently aren't waiting in vain.. In fact cheering on delays is what it's about.. as long as it's not like they get timing wrong kind of delay.. for the actual game itself..
@@tommychappell6359 I agree and disagree at the same time since every episode was short and didn't have enough levels, not only that.. some scenes aren't playable in every episode (for example: the space battle of Coruscant and Endor, Palpatine's Arrest, the Battle of Takodana (the ship battle), Escape from the Finalizer (Star Destroyer Interior), etc.) and that's REALLY disappointing to me. I feel like every episode should've had 8-10 levels or the levels should've been longer (about 30 minutes long, I think), the story could've been better.
Personally I feel like they could have made better choices on some of the levels. Episode 1 for example had a lot of walking back and forth. Walking to the gungan city only to have to go back to the surface because all the gungans were preparing for the droid invasion really stood out to me. And it was a real shame they skipped a lot of potential levels, such as the opening aerial battle over Coruscant in episode 3.
@@crusadercats1921 the rots levels are 2 drawn out boring bossfights and an even more drawn out bossfight /w c3po and r2d2.... I feel like its opposite day.. why are people liking this garbage
@@timewarpdrive77 all ive palyed was episode I and that was an absolute mess, so much so that I refunded it, I could not stand how fast paced but also somehow drawn out it was, if they actually added real levels in there, to break up all of that useless walking back and fourth 5 times and some real puzzles I would be fine, but there are multiple points in the story (it felt like 70% of the game) was just going from point A to point B while skipping the useless filler just to have to walk back to where you were and talk to another guy. I want a game not a playable cutscene. There is a good reason this game is 20 usd below average cost, and it stands out like a mangled hand
@@jasonschumacher1412 Yeah... if you're gonna play a lego SW game, just go play TCS... Its got more content, costs you 50 bucks less, and isn't a buggy mess... (not fkin dlc on a 60 dollar game) The graphics are old, but its still good.
The lack of important events as levels is a let down tbh. ROTS in particular: no space dogfight, not fighting the chancellor as Windu, a Jedi temple invasion while playing as Anakin (this was just a personal wish of mine). Open world is nice but also wished they had more levels in each movie
This is actually the main gripe I have with the game. The levels are either really short or not that good. I played through the first movie, and so far, I'm pretty dissappointed with them. It's basically a five minute fish chase, a five minute pod race, a twenty minute Maul fight (this one is great, I wish every level was like this one), a ten minute battle and a ten minute ship battle. There isn't much to do if you just follow the main story, and it only gets interesting if you go out the main path, which is not that bad. So far, liking it, but the levels are bringing it down
They had to compress the game; because you'd be stuck for a long time. Granted I want to be stuck in a level for an hour plus I can see why they compressed it and cut some content
@@itsharibonph I mean, I don't think you'll be "stuck", I think that they wanted to make the most complex combat and open world systems in a Lego game and then they realized they had to make levels, and if they made all of them the game would come even later and people would be mad, so they cut a lot of stuff. That's probably why some levels are clearly better than others, they were made with time and effort and the rest to meet the release date
If the quality of this game surprises you, then you haven’t been paying enough attention to TT Games over the last 15 years. This is a continuation of an incredible legacy.
I had a bad feeling in my mind that most lego games focus more on the collect o thon aspect than focusing on Combat and characters throughout the campaign.
Been playing LEGO games ever since star wars came out for ps2 and to see TT pull of these new ideas wow i gotta say y’all had me crying to see that intro knowing that it’s been over like 10 years 😩😩
The only level that felt lacking to me was the Mustafar duel. Kind of disappointed Player 2 doesn't play as Anakin, along with constant cuts away from the duel as C3PO and R2 to justify it. Other than that the game's been really good!
I never got a response but idk how that would be much better because then it wouldn’t be a boss fight… I mean they should have had player 2 doing something that explains why it was so easy for Obi wan to win or something..
I’ve been absolutely loving this game so far. The only main issues I really have is how they’ve cut down the cutscenes as much as they could, and the missed opportunities for some great levels. When Qui Gon first encounters Maul, it would’ve been the perfect moment to introduce the player to the lightsaber duel mechanics without it being too long of a fight. And it was a shame that we couldn’t get a level to play as Padme and retake the Theed Palace. It seems strange that they’ve traced over these moments in the films and instead make levels like trying to find Finn some clothes to wear.
I agree. I’ve only played episodes 1 and 2 so far (and am loving the game) but I’ve noticed that they haven’t quite struck the balance between cutscenes and gameplay. Was really disappointed when qui gon and maul was reduced to a cutscene. And with padme retaking the palace I feel like if that were included it could have been an introduction to blaster gameplay. Because having played through the first two episodes, so far I’ve only had one blaster encounter
I understand why they did that, but I the same time I don’t like it, they did it because LEGO Star Wars the force awakens pacing was completely garbage and slow
@Mestrix I agree, it's REALLY disappointing that certain scenes in each episode aren't playable, it would've been great if the ship battle of Coruscant, Endor and Takodana were playable, the story and some of the cutscenes felt rushed, it could've been better. The only episode that was perfect (so far) was Episode 4: A New Hope, in my opinion.
Honestly I just wish in the open world sections there would be roaming enemies. Or just random events like in space with the space battles. That is my one gripe
He thinks the game was gonna be bad cos it was lego, and lego is for children. News flash so is Star Wars! Doesn't mean adults can enjoy it too. He had a closed mind going into this game.
I think he was hoping to get a star wars game with a similar tone to Jedi Fallen Order, but because it was a lego game, it was impossible. Because it's a LEGO game. I personally really enjoy the Skywalker saga and I think that the "child like" comedy lego games have is really well done. There's not so much that it becomes overpowering and there isn't too little that the game stems too far from what a lego game is supposed to be.
I like the game, it's a lot of fun. It's a little too easy and doesn't really require much skill or learning... which makes it fun but I think it could be improved a lot if it was just a bit more challenging to win.
About the challenge, ima be real that's just a lego game to me: a fun and charming but not really challenging experience. I guess i play lego games because i like lego and i like their humor and seeing stories revolving around the funny bricks including stories I have seen and liked.
The issue with this is Lego games are inherently made for kids but loved by adults. If they upped the challenge, it would go outside of that "kids game" realm they always strive for
Actually for me that's a selling point. I don't have a lot of time and close to zero experience with game pads. I like easy games where I can have fun while enjoying a good story and not getting stuck.
It has its issues but as a whole it's definitely a good game . I think it's clear that some story's/episodes/missions got more time and love than others and it would have been nice if the flight controls were more customisable specifically spinning and turning but other than that I think it's great
I actually dont like that the missions are that short. They skipped a lot of stuff like the opening of episode 3 or the mace sidious fight, the last one i kinda get bc it wasnt in the original
The last one I don’t get because of the same reason. Kashyyyk really wasn’t important to the story. The Kashyyyk level should’ve been replaced by a Chancellor Boss fight. That level didn’t serve any purpose to the story at all. During the cutscene after Mace’s death they showed Order 66 all around anyways, you can take the whole level out and not miss anything
I wish there were random enemy encounters in some of the open areas to make the traveling more exciting and for an excuse to use the combat system more, but other than that, I'm loving this game!
In mos espa there’s one if you go inside a building and the alarms won’t stop going off and enemies won’t stop spawning i think I need a protocol droid to stop it
I would SERIOUSLY dig a series on this game, because honestly hearing your insights and being able to watch someone else enjoy it other than myself would be incredible.
i like the original saga more beacuse it was more darker and accurate to the films than this one, this one is only meant to be funny for kids and thats it
This game is really a new Lego Star Wars movie and game in 1 and it is so fun to play through! I grew up on the Complete saga and am 19 now and can’t stop playing this game 😂
Complete Saga is Episodes 1 through to 6...everything that includes Anakin Skywalker's/Darth Vader's life or simply put George Lucas's Vision of Star Wars
I was thinking the SAME thing. They could just take this material the game has and make a realistic looking one, just spruce up the open world with more combat and voila! I'd be all for it.
The amount of sand jokes is legendary. For one of the episode 2 levels, when I logged off and logged back on, there was a title screen to remind me of the story so far. They said “Anakin had a terrible nightmare about sand, and a worse one about his mother. They return to Tatooine and their worst fears are realized as the planet is still covered in sand.”
For me I was always going to get it for nostalgia, I will say I’m glad they delayed it. The wait was annoying sure, but I know that games take a long time to produce and well we all know what happens if games get rushed *cough EA cough*. I’m pleased with it, frame rate on Xbox one split screen is a bit of a yikes but then again it’s completely fine and understandable. Glad to see you’ve had a positive experience with it and will be looking forward to more videos on it!
I haven't kept up with this game's marketing at all, but I played the original 3 games a ton as a kid. I was definitely not expecting a fully realized open world RPG out of a Lego Star Wars game. I do feel like the main story is super rushed, I suppose they assume players will break every single object and talk to every single NPC, and I definitely am doing that. I do wish they wouldn't have removed so much of the main story content from the original games.
As someone who was really hyped for this game because I love Star Wars and used to play TCS so much when I was younger and even now and then, I am kinda sad about something with this game. Excluding the flight controls feeling finicky, my three main gripes with this is: Lack of Cutscenes/Playable Moments, Sorta Strays from Lore & Kid Oriented. TCS had a level design where you move between levels by going through a door, and it will have somewhat important parts of the movie in it that you could play. This game has changed that a lot and rather has open styled world where you need to move to the next area to start it, allowing for exploration while you there. This is nice, however, the actual missions are relatively short and miss a lot of the main parts. For instance being able to fight darth maul as QGJ on Tatooine would have been really fun, but that kinda made that a cutscene. Or as Obi Wan going to talk to Yoda about Kamino being 'gone on the map' and allowing younglings to learn, which also leads me onto my next point. Yoda coming up to Obi Wan in the library to explain to him in exposition was kind of a let down. It was a really nice moment in the movie where Obi Wan needed help, and went to talk to the wise teacher, Yoda. Yoda then allowed youngling to voice their opinion on why it's gone, allowing them a chance to feel useful, which I really enjoyed in the movie. Also Obi Wan as a character was not egotistical like the game portrays of him when Yoda tells him why he's missing it, and then throwing a fit. I get that Lego games aren't meant to take themselves seriously, which is fine, I don't have a problem for that, but I do wish they tried to keep a bit of the lore/personality somewhat loyal, because it just felt very annoying and started to make me disinterested. Another one was where you needed to help Dex by serving customers, when does this happen, and why does this make sense for a JEDI to do. Thirdly, the game is very kid oriented. I get that this game should appeal to a wide range of audiences, including kids, because they will enjoy it the most next to nostalgic fans. However, making the game too kid oriented has ruined some of the things, including basic mechanics, straying from the lore to increase the funny meter to help keep kids entertained, and the simplicity of puzzles. I wish they added more things that a Star Wars fan could enjoy. For instance, on Coruscant one of the bricks requires you to line up Statues in front of the picture, this is a really visual thing and doesn't require you to work anything out. However, what they could've done is had the primary protagonist, antagonist or prominent character that only shows up in each of the different episodes, and you had to line up the right statues to the right movie. This just gives the people that know star wars lore some fun because it requires thinking, not brainless uses. Also, the lack of building. I only remember building one thing in all of the Phantom Menace story, which was to open an area. Why? This is a CORE ASPECT OF LEGO. The entirety of the franchise is built around building, why would you limit it so heavily?
I do want to add that the statue puzzle have in the jedi temple have two different answers. One where you do have the line up with the picture, and another that involves listening to a story, and being able follow the events of the story and line the statues up in the order of the story. But it would have bee cool if they had a third answer like what you recommended.
Yeah I just finished episode 1 and I feel like they focused to much on the open world aspect of planets and not enough on the actually levels of each movie. I miss when lego games were a bit more basic honestly. I feel like Lego Marvel 1 probably had the best balance between a nice open world and good level design on the actual levels.
Personally I don’t know how being a Lego game can be bad as Lego games are great but I guess they aren’t for everyone Though the term “for a Lego game” rubs me the wrong way.
To be fair, the fact that they don’t have online multiplayer kinda feels like they deserve the title “for a Lego game” because whenever I mention it people are like “it’s a Lego game what do u expect”
@@iswiftyfox8997 Not every game needs to have online multiplayer, even if it isn't Lego. Lego games not having multiplayer doesn't make them inferior, it's just not something they do so it would be weird to expect a Lego game to have it.
honestly lego has made the best open world, sandbox games of any of the franchises theyve made games for. Literally this is the best open world star wars game. As a kid, i thought the same of the complete saga. Games like jedi fallen order take the same amount of hits to kill minions. so the only real difference is the character models. All the lego batman games are the best DC heroes open world game. And before the arkham games, i'd argue they were the best batman games. Now, the only thing keeping it from being the best imo is the combat isnt as in depth as arkham. but the open worlds are on par. It's the best harry potter games and piratess of the caribbean. Ihonestly believe this is true for all the lego games. So i really dont understand why people act like lego games are bad just cause it has lego in the title. Im glad this youtuber changed his mind and is strong enough to admit he was wrong :)
My main issue with this is some of the cutscenes feel a bit rushed or the cut out memorable moments for a quick bit of shtick. I know its a LEGO game and that's what it does. Overall, I LOVE this game and they knocked it out of the park.
I got so bored I could not finish ep 2, cut scene 5 min, game play 3 min, walking sim 5 min back to step one cut scene 5 min, this is such a trash game due to pacing, oh and did I mention that it skips all the good parts of the movie. Glad you are enjoying it however for me it is the worst lego game ever made, only things it has going for it are graphics and smoothness! apart from that it is a boring soulless game.
@@ComiccollectorGamer That fool's been complaining about this game nonstop all over this video calling it "the worst Star Wars game ever." He's an idiot.
@@TheNocturnal1 i dont get the hate over not having a character creator, when i was a kid i never used it. would rather play as characters i know from the movies than a random character I made
Definitely an incredible game I just wish there were more levels in each episode. There were some moments like fighting grievous on his ship that felt like missed opportunities. I wish they would’ve taken even more time if we could’ve gotten more levels in each episode
The ratings on this game are mixed for one reason. Open-World Games are very give or take. Some people like linear games, others prefer the more open gameplay. In the past most LEGO Games are mainly linear when it comes to gameplay. I think several people wanted a remastered complete saga, and when the new features and steps were taken they didn’t like it and took to calling it a bad game. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but please make sure you remember your opinion is not fact! The only main complaints I have are the lack of Clone Wars and Custom Characters. Also, I will admit, some of the levels do feel a bit short which is most likely a sacrifice to make the open world larger.
I love the game, but I’m just disappointed In a few things, i love how you can overthrow ships and control them such as the death star but at the same time i wish you could overthrow some of the “good guys” ship, for example The Resolute, it would’ve been so cool to overtake it as a sith, and some iconic characters are missing too especially in the clone wars saga, i hope they add a dlc in the future that will fill this gap.
I bought it and then realized there's no character customization which is basicly why i play lego games, try unlock all characters to have more parts to create my own unique characters. It looks great and plays well but if i knew beforehand there was no character customization i probably wouldnt have bought it so fast. Ofcourse its my fault for not looking it up but i really expected this to have the best customization yet. Really bummed out about it and i really hope it comes later on.
I like the revamped missions and new story points that weren’t in the old games, but I also really miss the old levels. In attack of the clones when you fly the gun ship and blow up the droid control centers was one of my favorite missions of all time and I was rather bummed that it didn’t make into this one. Other than that I’m really happy with this game.
The only thing that really disappointed me about this game was the fact they completely cut the Battle over Coruscant and just didn't even care to add it in.
Bought the game on realese and played it as soon as I got home from work and I love it. I played the Complete Saga so much as a kid. What suprised me most with Skywalker Saga was how much content it is in the game and how well it followed the movies. I havent really watched anything from this game at all only that it was delayed for so long and that it was a open world game. But this game blew my mind, there is so much content, so much to do. I didnt have my expectations to high, I thought that was gonna play just a remake with an ok open world option to, all I hoped was to feel nostalgic, but I was so wrong. Not only do I feel the nostalgia from my childhood but I feel like im playing a complete new game an not just a remake. Plus the open world is amazing and has so much content TT has done an amazing job with this game. They have always made great lego games but this has to be best. They really used how long we have come with games to their advange with both graphics and oportunities that we have now with games. The only thing I couldnt handle was the mumble mode, even though I played the Complete Saga. I love the fact that you have options to have it, which shows the love and care for this game to the fans who played Complete Saga, but there was a bit to much mumble for me, plus the fact that they have the so many Voice Actors from CW is just beautiful to listen to.
@AmvForLife Ehh.. I don't know, man.. the story felt rushed considering that some scenes in each episode aren't playable (for example: the space battle of Coruscant and Endor, the battle of Takodana (ship part), Palpatine's Arrest, etc.). Not only that, some of the cutscenes felt rushed too, they had too much humor in them, especially during the serious ones and some of them were TOO fast-paced for their own good. So far, the only episode that was perfect was Episode 4: A New Hope, in my opinion.
@@DarkShadowX9 You make good points there my friend, I have felt a bit of rushed moments. I havent played to much yet, I just started with epiosde 2 but I did feel a bit of it in episode 1. When it comes to the humour, it may be a bit much like you said but I dont have any deep problems with that considering its a Lego Game so I dont mind. If I want it to be seriour I would just watch the movies instead, but thats just my opinion. The scenes that are aren"t playable I haven goten so many of them that I feel frustrated about. But overall im really enjoying the game so far, the only major problem I feel and that just may be is that sometimes the frames is droping but that may just be me being paranoid about stuff like that. I got a lot more from this game that I asked for, especially with the open world bit and how much more I could play from the movies and how well they showed the important scenes from the movies even though they can be a bit fast paced sometimes.
I would really like to see huge battlefront like battles you could do in this game after the story. It would be awesome to have battles like this with huge battlefields and hundreds of battle droids
@@stalebread2598 honestly, battles across all eras would help so much. Like, the rebellion in both OT and Disney trilogy really seems to just be 5 people fighting an empire and winning. Having non main characters leading armies against troopers would be awesome
@@mickys8065 yeah, I really think what they did with Lego Star Wars 3 was really good. It was everyone’s favorite game when it came out and I feel like if they included the big battle thing in most games moving forward it would be a huge success
Loving the game. It’s so fun to play and takes everything that was great about the complete saga and improved it. Something that bothers me about the game is how short the actual levels are. I feel like too much of the movies are in free play. Like the boss fight with jango fett was free play so if I want to play that again I’ll have to restart attack of the clones. For me, most of my enjoyment from lego games comes from replaying the levels. But the free play is so fun in the skywalker saga that it hardly bothers me There’s also too much of the movies reduced to cutscenes. Would have loved to play qui gon vs maul on tatooine
I think I am mildly disappointed by the game overall just because I really liked how story missions played out in previous Lego Star Wars games as opposed to how they play out in this one. However it's hard to hate on it too much with the level of detail they put into the world's.
yeah i totally agree, its difficult to pinpoint what i dont like about the story missions but if i had to put my finger on one thing its probably how quickly the cutscenes and story are, for example the windu v palpatine duel was a 10 second cutscene
I was hoping they made capital ships flyable but honestly there would be no point in doing that because as it is they dont give u alot of room to fly in space anyways.
@Ron Nicklas I 100% agree, it's REALLY disappointing that certain scenes in each episode aren't playable. It would've been great if the ship battle of Coruscant, Endor and Takodana was playable, but some levels in each episode were perfect, in my opinion. So far, the entirety of Episode 4 was perfect, in my opinion.
@@JobyDoby yeah it's like they took the mini games from the previous Lego games and decided to make them the entire experience for the story missions. Which I don't know about you but the mini games in Lego games for me personally were my least favorite part. Also yeah they just amounted to being like these short 5 to 10 minute experiences. Definitely ambitious in some aspects but somehow less ambitious in others than prior games. It just leaves me feeling very mixed.
For anyone who's arrived at episode 6, unfortunately for the speeder bike chase on Endor you have to activate the homing shots, otherwise it's impossible to hit your shots and eventually the map will run out and you'll be forced to restart the mission
Very impressed by what they accomplished. I do have a problem with the fact that missions seem entirely based around one short scene or thing that happened in the movie. Like a single page of a book. I know you get to do a bit of the stuff outside of the linear mission itself. But compared to the intricate level design and puzzles from the old style games. I hate to say it, but they do lack. Ill say Ive only completed episode I so far but I doubt they're going to have the formula changed going forward. The other gripe would be that the actual puzzles we do get seem completely mindless. Perhaps its the fact that Im not a kid anymore but putting glowy brick into circuit to open a door being the extent of the puzzle complexity just seems uninspired. I get the feeling the game is aiming at almost no lower age limit. Where as the originals were geared to challenge 6yo, This one probably wouldnt phase a 4yo if you pointed them in the right direction.
I have two major critiques on an otherwise great game. The story feels very "spark notesy", they skip over a lot of parts. For better or worse, the game has a very fast pace if you dont free roam in between. And 2nd is the splitscreen is not great. There is so much clutter on screen, it is hard to look at for a long time.
I just really miss the massive battles that Lego Star Wars 3 had where there were just hundreds of droids too battle at a time which helped put me in the situation and really bring the world too life. Idk might just be the nostalgia of that.
"But the Lego factor was just weighing it down for me. And I'm surprised how well people took that. I thought it was gonna get a lot more hate." Well you have sorely underestimated the immense Lego community that's formed over the decades then. Tons of people love the Lego games, especially Lego Star Wars, including myself. Entire generations grew up on those games and Lego Star Wars especially have always been hailed in the gaming community as some of the best set of games ever made. It's literally no surprise why Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga got so much hype these past couple years leading up to now. "Are there times where I wished the childish nature of a Lego game wasn't so...in your face? Yeah, sure." I mean...to be fair, Lego is a property that has always been geared towards kids while always somehow managing to appeal to all other ages, including adults being more than welcome to join in on all the fun as well. It's the same exact thing as Star Wars. George himself has always intended the franchise to be for 12 year olds after all. "These movies are made for children, but they don't wanna admit that." -- George Lucas. And besides, the overtly childish nature of Lego is all part of the fun and one of the core appeals of that whole entire franchise of Lego games. It's nice to just sit back, relax and just have fun with something and not be so serious all the time, like what the Joker from the Dark Knight once said lol. Because, after all: "Adults are kids grown up anyways." -- Walt Disney. "And it's made that much better that this game's graphics are so impressive considering it has the Lego game art style, I guess you could say." And I don't mind that one bit! Sure, it's partially because I've grown up with the Lego games, so I have some inherent bias for this style but even in general, this style is a LOOT of fun and has always been glorious in it's own right. After sooo many years, realistic-styled games become boring and tedious--don't get me wrong though, I still LOVE them and they're still incredibly gorgeous and boundary-breaking in their own rights!!! But I love to shake it up every now and again with some fun and uniquely boundary-breaking visuals that are the Lego Star Wars games! Nothing wrong with branching out from the norm and creating an absolute plethora of beautiful and highly stylistic visuals among various games--including the Lego Star Wars games!! :D "The fact that I and a lot of people can come out of playing The Phantom Menace episode of the game and have such glowing thoughts is a testament to this game. Because it's not exactly secret knowledge that it's not the best Star Wars movie." Nor is it the worst lol. This may be a highly subjective point, but I really do believe that TPM doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. Many fans love that movie, including myself. And it's gotten wide appreciation over the years from the larger fandom--especially from the younger generations, like my own, who are now grown up enough to voice their own opinions of the galaxy far, far away! And for crying out loud, The Phantom Menace literally got it's own panel at Star Wars Celebration 2019 in Chicago! And thousands attended it to celebrate it's 20th anniversary! It's a damn good movie and, as a little kid (and even a teen too!!), I always had SO much fun with George Lucas's modern day, sleek TRAILBLAZER of a movie ALONGSIDE it's Lego depictions of it in all the Lego SW games that it was featured in. Most of it's visuals hold up STILL to this day. It's bloody gorgeous, I'm not sorry. 😌🙏💝
i never understood why george thinks star wars was only for kids... i see nothing about it that wouldnt be just a movie for everyone. Like i really dislike that people seem to think that if its not overly sexual and dropping F-bombs every 3 seconds, it's aimed exclusively at kids. I think thats just ridiculous. I really like that walt disney quote. thank you for your comment :) and for the other 2 bozos, reading too hard for yall?
I think most of the cons I have about this game relate to the co op. I play it with my older brother and we’re both very used to Lego games and games in general. It caused a lot of points in the story to feel anticlimactic because we would be doing twice the damage to bosses than the game was designed for us to do. So the darth maul and jango fights felt like a minute long when they should’ve been more expansive. It was literally harder to kill the taxi thief than jango. I think they need to allow for difficulty settings or at least double boss health in co op mode
Although I hate how they glossed over some of the more emotional aspects from movies I still have to remind myself it's a game targeted towards kids. I wish some aspects of the levels were little longer but then again I'd have to go back and play the complete saga and see how much filler tasks were in that game that they left out of this one.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody actually play their custom character or even mention the character customization in any Lego game before. The most everyone does it make a custom character and never play that character, this is so far the only thing I can find people complaining about and it makes zero sense whatsoever, custom characters is such a simple and unimportant thing imo.
@@PastPositive you definitely don’t speak for the masses and are wrong about it in general, I’ve seen plenty of people actually use the customization in the games and especially for a game like this, customization would let you get involved in the world on a smaller level than the main characters while still being able to partake in an interesting narrative, such as the many side quests. Idk about you but hunting down Aurra Sing for Jocasta was not as fun with bounty hunters that would definitely never do it See exhibit A, lego DC supervillains where you literally get to make a character and use that character in story, not saying it has to be the same but just having the ability to make one has always been appreciated and the removal doesn’t quite make sense when it’s always so well received
The levels are way too short. The hubs are cool but it feels like quantity over quality. I'd rather levels that last over 5 minutes than 100s of small side quests.
Yeah, it would be cool if you compared all missions from each of the 9 movies in a ranking / showdown type video or once you've completed the game rank planets in terms of atmosphere and bonus missions they have ?
Hey man, I only started at Episode IV to get the max nostalgia factor. Wanted to experience it the same way I experienced the movies. This game honestly makes me feel like a kid again and that makes me so happy. I played Complete Saga religiously growing up so this really scratches an itch I think I forgot I had.
Same here. I wanted to play them in order of release. I was tempted to start with Ep1 cause I want to unlock all the Jedi but I couldn’t resist going to the OT first cause those are my favorite films.
Ehh I'm 50/50 I've had some errors and bugs myself. A character I'm supost to follow be stuck, pressed A too fast to skip over palplys dioluge about taxis and whoops cameras fixed on where he was standing. Or the find the tiny trigger near jar jar and stumps to go to the lake not just like... walking deeper into the lake
@@OverdriveFilms19 I've been playing with more exploration In mind, I wanted to start in cronological order to get jokes If they did something like call backs that they specifically make (like the "not dead" characters from the jurasic park games stuck on the island in some of the world cutscenes)I'm only about to start ep 3 but have ep 1 70%done and 2 60% (need Scavanger gear and to get the mission challenges cause I don't buy hints, saving up for that sweet 2x and further)
Personally I think the levels are way to short. The fact minikits have been cut down to 5 instead of 10 shows they weren’t long enough to hide more. Only 5 levels per movie seemed wrong. Don’t understand why we couldn’t fight as mace vs sidious or storm the Jedi temple as Anakin. Seems like levels were taken away to incorporate the open world and had to sit n watch cutscenes where I really wanted to be involved.
If I were to Give a small con to this game, is that they cut certain scenes and make the cutscenes happen to quickly. But I don't think anyone will really have a problem with that. I'm just saying, it would be nice to see lengthier cutscenes.
Yeah facts it just seems like Anakin just turns to darth Vader with a flip of a switch. And they barrel through padme and anakins relationship in attack of the clones.
I've only seen some clips over the last couple days, and did not have any expectations. I played lego games years ago and enjoyed them. But the last one I had time for was the first marvel superheroes release. So seeing this now is surreal for me. Its uncanny the range of movement and expressions these characters are making. With this voice acting. This might even be a better star wars experience than the films.
I’m disappointed with how little diversity there is between the characters. I think each one should have a special ability of sorts. I understand that each character class plays differently, but all Jedi play almost the same for example.
300 playable characters and you want them all to have unique abilities? Plus there isn’t much you can change with Jedi and Sith powers and abilities they’ve been the same abilities for years, the force, what more is there to it?
@@colebench1490 Weird how you jump to conclusions. I’m critiquing a very small aspect of the game, the rest is great, and I never said otherwise. The Star Wars community these days is so toxic, you cannot critique or give your opinion on anything without being “unappreciative”. I paid over $90 for this game, I don’t owe Tt Games anything..
@@PastPositive Every Jedi and Sith have unique force abilities…Rey could force heal, Anakin could see force premonitions, Vader could force choke, Palpatine could use force lighting, Mace Windu could channel both the light and the dark side, Cal Kestis could use force echo…should I go on? THIS is the way it’s always been. They could have implemented these abilities, take Darth Sidious for example, they could have given him sustained force lighting by holding down a button but instead it’s relegated to a short animation during a combo.
I absolutely loved Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 but never played the complete sega tho but this was kinda disappointing for me like I loved the game and the humour but having no difficulty setting and being all kid friendly and not letting the people who played the old Lego games have a bit of challenge so we the old people have fun as well and not get bored after episode 6 and having no motivation to even touch 789.
Lego games never had a difficulty setting to begin with and plus it's a Lego game why would it not be kid friendly? This game isn't primarily for adults in fact if you truly think that then I'm worried for your sanity Lego games were never meant to be challenging unless you're 10 or under
@@ransfordflentjar5694 no I mean I wish it wasn’t kid friendly with the gameplay how it’s all so easy I get it’s meant for kids but it could easily be fixed with a difficulty setting and I know Lego games never had difficulty options but this is a different gameplay style for a Lego game one that could be fun if it had intense fights if it had a difficulty setting.
Only 5 levels per episode, even with all of the extra stuff, is a travesty to me. Should have been 8-10 levels each, if you ask me. Especially considering how SHORT some of the levels are. Otherwise, it is a fantastic game. 9/10 overall.
so glad that there were no plot twists in this game’s development cycle. a couple delays, sure, but it ended up being about as good as it was hyped up to be
I started with Episode IV (what else). Double shame on you! :D The game is awesome. Looks great, great performance, smooth controls, decent to good voice actors, tons of the usual quirks and more challenges for the Kyber Bricks (some are rather spicy) than ever. Best new feature is the free camera. While it means more effort for the devs (can't short cut level design), the result is the best playing experience in the Lego series.
I was playing this with my brother the other day, and he kept saying the flight controls were "wack". I didn't notice anything wrong with them though, I think they're great.
So far, I have alot of minor nitpicks. I miss R2's thrusters, force lightning, and jetpacks that actually worked, however I am really enjoying the game play, and the story while rushed at times is still funny at its worst moments, and true star wars at its best. This may not be a 10/10 for me but I think it makes an easy 9/10.
There's really just 3 things I dislike: 1. You cant create your own character. 2. The story feels rushed, probably because they've put a lot of time and effort in the combat mechanics. 3. The boss fights are really easy you can just spam the jump Melee attack
Totally agree 100%. the time and effort they spent revamping this game definitely paid off because it is absolutely gorgeous, and the fact that it looks and runs as good as this on the Switch is a miracle. Even Mario Odyssey doesn't look this good on it. This puts a lot of top-tier developers to shame. If Pokemon games looked half as good as this, they'd been winning Game of the Year every single year. You can tell the developers of this title really poured their hearts into it. Just can't wait to play the rest. Been waiting twenty years for a Star Wars game like this. Disney be damned. I love Star Wars again.
I think this game depends all on your taste on games. Whether you like a more structured storyline thats the entire focus of the game. Or you like a game with a 7.5/10 story with open world content. Honestly I enjoy games like this because even though its not much, it gives you something to do. I personally like the exploration factor and I’ve probably put the most time into the game getting kyber bricks. I’ve been taking the game slow and its a lot of fun. I think the main issues is the story, combat and flying. I know this game is prioritized to kids but the combat is way too easy. I mean I’ve gone through chapter one and a third through chapter two and I still haven’t died to an enemy yet. I hope they add a difficulty changer later into the future once you beat the game or if you beat an episode you can make it harder. The story also does have a few missing parts unfortunately but I think since its an open world game it could be altered pretty easily and also dlc may add to some episodes. Lastly the flight mechanic. I think this is my least favorite part of the game which is a shame because probably my favorite lego star wars game, The Clone Wars had that environment of being in space which I really liked. The flying is really annoying to control and there are only a few things to do in space. Other than that I would give this game a 9/10. This is definitely in my top 3 for lego games going Clone wars-skywalker saga-TCS. I would 100% recommend this game to anyone who enjoys video games.
I played 7-9 first just to get it out of the way and save the best for last. Those took forever. I was doing all sorts of little missions and felt like there was a ton of stuff just for the story line, like looking for scrap and finding Finn clothes and stuff on top of what seemed like every little thing in the storyline. Tons of stuff. I couldn't wait to start with the prequels. Then I got to the prequels and everything felt rushed. I was a little disappointed that there was no bigger battle for Geonosis. I thought aw well maybe it was a big thing. But then I got to episode 3 and I felt jipped. No begining space battle. It just skipped all of that and after Dooku it just cut straight to Grevious and was only a cut scene. No battle with Windu and Palps. No Jedi temple scene. jumped. I was hoping for some order 66 thing, but no. Just lots of running, walking with padme, fulfilling orders for Dex, but none of the previous mentions. I am just starting on 4 and hopefully those will be a little better, however, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
I definitely wish they could have skipped the sequels and used that time and effort to flesh out the stories for the main six movies, especially since there are more than a few key scenes from them either missing or quickly passed over. However, the scale of and obvious care given to the more than 20+ open worlds more than makes up for the shortcomings of the story missions. This game is simply fantastic, easily the best LEGO game ever made, and I’d already comfortably put it in my top five Star Wars games period, LEGO or otherwise.
This game was done so well. I literally felt like a kid again playing the first lego Star Wars game ever. I yelled out loud telling my little brother not to shoot me, but then I snapped to reality and it’s my daughter laughing her butt off with player 2 controller in her hand. Greatest Star Wars game post golden era
Going from 6 levels per film actually took out a lot of creative room for them in regards to retelling the story. That, and I feel like all the boss fights were too easy. I get that its a kids game, but I wish there was a hard mode. All the bosses used the same moves. Edit: Flight controls on PC are really wonky, too. My ship "sticks" to a specific direction, and I know its a deliberate mechanic to make turning easier, but it happens in the middle of space battles. It'd be nice to see a small marker for that.
I can totally agree on that Jar Jar mission dragging on a tiny bit much and being really boring. Also, destroying the droid ship as Anakin as a kid was a PAIN in my ass.
The game itself is incredible however i think that there are some points which could have been better First of, the 5 levels per episode should have been one more just to make some story bits a bit longer. Some things are thrown in weirdly compared to complete saga i d say, the landing of the half ship in ep3 and anakin becoming a member of the council simply happened in weird places. Sometimes at least for me there are some actually important storybits missing or just funny jokes like the tragedy of darth plagueis but the jokes are no big issue. Then there are just missing sequences e.g. the battle over corouscant. I really miss the flying part. Then there is some weird issue with scaling at times e.g. The Lars Farm is right next to the tuskens or the battle against dooku is at the spawn of the area, it doesnt bother me much its just a bit weird. Thats the only real downside of the "Open World" Idea Then lastly there is the first level of Empire which is not even in the movies yet they put it in there and reduced the story of Empire to 4 levels idk why As i was saying overall its an incredibly fun lego game with some minor flaws.
Strangely one thing I think is missing from this game, apart from more battles is a sandbox mode where you could play with the games assets and characters to create scenarios, would fit the LEGO theme of building toysets and stuff like that.
Im happy with the open world but the lack of level depth is awful. No ROTS intro space battle. Podrace was the worst ever made. Just a total lack of levels for important scenes in the movies
How is it being a Lego game a downside 🤨 if you want a non Lego game play a non Lego game Tf. The whole reason this game is enjoyable is because it’s a Lego game and for me at least because it brings back some nostalgia although it is very obvious it’s a Disney project which is a shame. My main complaints are that levels go by way too fast and a lot of running around doing nothing, poor level design in general. Also they removed custom characters which was one of my favourite things about Lego games as a child
There are things about this game I am absolutely loving. There are things I am not loving so much, as well. It is certainly the most ambitious Lego game since Lego The Clone Wars game. Overall a worthy purchase - there is tons of content and playtime here.
Honestly my biggest gripe with this game is how rushed it feels. Certain scenes that add to the plot are completely missing and for example the scene where the clones arrive on Geonosis, you would think there wouldve been a LAAT segment maybe on rails but nope. Same with the battle of Coruscant but the parts that are in the game are fun, addicting and full of life. Just wish they had the another year to add online coop, character creation and more dialogue banter as well.
... anyone else angry r2 can't fly like the complete saga? And no hub level like the diner and cantina. The ai are brain dead. The stories are to short. A big open world doesn't make it better. They fill it with useless junk.
The game is great and I'm having a ton of fun playing it. The only things I dislike are how innacurate they make it to the movies to make it more child friendly. The huge amount of cutscenes are also frustrating. Big coruscant battle in episode three just shortened to a 15 second cutscene. Other than that I think the game is pretty great. I just think they wanted to focus more on freeplay than the actual story
I refuse to be shamed for starting with the best trilogy in the series... the originals... I started Episode IV and would do it again! That aside, great video. I shared many of the same opinions. This is also my first Lego game and it's miles better than I could have imagined.
Is it just me or do you wish the difficulty was raised just a little. Or at least give an option to players easy to Jedi master Or soemthing. Now I understand it’s a lego game targeted mainly towards children, but also a huge targeting was the nostalgia group. In my opinion the thrill and threat of failure would have been the final touch on this great game
