LEGO Star Wars Video Game · Slashdot Mirror

_xeno_ writes "LEGO, everyone's favorite plastic building block company, is creating a Star Wars video game. Yes, that's right. A video game based on the LEGO Star Wars sets, which are of course based on Star Wars. GameSpot has a preview of the game. It covers the three prequel movies, allowing you to play through levels containing LEGO friends and allies. At first you can only play with characters appropriate for the level, but you can unlock other characters to swap in as you play through the game. Because the world is based on LEGO blocks, there are puzzles that involve the creation of LEGO structures to bridge gaps. It's scheduled for an April release, just before "Revenge of the Sith" opens." I guess this would be an...ahem...puzzle game.

Well, my five year old son now loves his Harry Potter Lego Creator (or whatever it is called). Someone bought it for him a while back and it was a bit too advanced, but not he is really into it.
The impressive thing about the UI design is that I've never shown him how to do anything - hows that for usability?
