She's not liking the monthly bills that I'm wracking up. But hey it's worth a shot, as long as she doesn't ask how many readers I have.... @Matt

My 5-year-old son and I loved the first one. I think it's the only game that we really play together that he's really in to. Last I heard this game was supposed to come out next february, now I have to think of some excuse to go buy it. "No really honey, my new client insisted on the down payment being a star wars game".

I downloaded the demo this week and I b-lined to the video store to rent this game. Two childhood loves: Star Wars + Legos = Great time! The humor is GREAT in this game, even more so since no one speaks. I want to buy this but I can't justify the $60 price tag for the 360 version. If this had online co-op, I'd buy in a heart beat. But I'm highly enjoying my time and may buy it when it hits the bargin price, since there is SO MUCH to unlock. I couldn't agree more.

Absolutely. I'm a designer too, and Lego Star Wars collector in my (few) spare time. I own more than 50 brick models gathered in the last 4 years from Ebay... This is a video game I MUST definitely play. Bye, and have fun mate! Gotta find it and play it. Absolutely.

It's really funny and a lot more challenging that I thought it would be. The camera angles are a little frustrating at times, but all in all a game to buy.

Worst. I'm sure there will be plenty of lightsaber dueling on the Wii in the years to come. @Adam: No kidding - the camera angles are horrid at times. Last night Deanna and I were playing and I actually had to drop out a couple times so she could do what was needed without having to fight with the camera. It just doesn't work at times. @Zach: Fighting with a lightsaber in this game is like pulling teeth. Worst. I'm sure there will be plenty of lightsaber dueling on the Wii in the years to come.
