LEGO Star Wars Video Game

Posted by Hemos on from the how-will-this-works dept.

_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.

    I recently saw this and decided to quit buying their toys. Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't want my kids to be raised with things like this or this (and if you think those are fake, I ask you to look again at the site.)

      While that may indeed be so, he got permission from them which is just as bad.

    >Theres going to be one problem with the movie. Its going to be very blocky.

    Cool, I guess that means we can use Microsoft's Windows Media CODEC then. We won't see the difference!
