Summary

LEGO Star Wars II takes the fun and customization ability of the LEGO play pattern and combines it with the epic story, characters and action from the revolutionary Star Wars: Episodes IV, V and VI. With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II lets you build and battle your way through your favorite film moments. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to Luke's final confrontation with Emperor Palpatine. For the first time ever, characters can get in and out of vehicles, as well as ride creatures. Because it's LEGO style, you can also mix and match the body parts of more than 50 playable characters to create one of millions of possible LEGO Star Wars heroes. And on PS2, Xbox and Windows platforms, a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock another 50-plus additional characters for Free Play mode -- that's more than 100 total characters. Other exciting additions include free-roaming vehicle levels, the ability to switch ships at will in Free Play mode, cool new character-specific attacks and maneuvers, playable mini-kit vehicles, an adaptive difficulty option and more.

Pure Magazine UK

Even better than the first game, this handheld masterpiece is an essential purchase.

GameSpy

Its kiddy facade hides some terrifically fun gameplay with a lot of meat on its bones.

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

A supremely entertaining romp through the classic Star Wars universe, LSWII deserves to be played by everyone. [Nov 2006, p.102]

Pocket Gamer UK

Beautifully knitting together the Star Wars and Lego worlds in presentation and ambience, this is a game that showcases the PSP's extraordinary capabilities.

A fantastic sequel. If it had online play and cleared up its long loading issues, it'd be a sure-fire five-star winner. As is, though, it'll have to do just being a great sequel and fun for all ages.

Games Radar (in-house)

With solidly rebuilt controls only a little marred by a still-fussy camera, LEGO Star Wars II is even better than last years prequel trilogy-based offering. And, as the first LEGO Star Wars was an amazingly entertaining homage to Lucas's genius, this sequel stands atop the original's shoulders as the pinnacle of LEGO Star Wars fun.

But most importantly, it's about the good episodes now. For that reason alone, Lego Star Wars II is one of the most enjoyable games of this fall.

PSM Magazine

The game's simplicity is what really makes the game work: it's a game where you don't have to futz around with complicated controls, and camera control isn't an issue. [Nov 2006, p.78]

AceGamez

An excellent gaming experience. Sure the load times are bad, and that is reflected in a lower score for this than I gave the PC version - but this is still an excellent game that owners of the PSP should definitely try.

The gameplay hasn't changed dramatically, but better source material makes Lego Star Wars II a better game than its predecessor.

What's pretty refreshing is that Lego Star Wars II makes a damn nice jump from the hefty console down to the wee portable. [Nov. 2006, p. 122]

Jarred H. gave it a9:
The second and final installment in the LEGO Star Wars series is a keeper, and there are new tweaks to the gameplay so this game would not just be the same game with better source material. The source material helps though, escalating this game to the very top of the rating scale.

Nick S. gave it a9:
The more I play this game, the higher the score I wanted to give it. Excellent graphics, music and gameplay. Every time you get killed, you're re-spawned at the same spot ensuring gameplay is not repetitive. I wish all games were like this. Lego Star Wars is clute, colourful, and general fun to play. Highly recommend and I'm not a huge star wars fan either.

McBain 17 gave it a9:
I bought the first game and wasn't all that impressed. Then this one came along and I decided hey its where it all started I'll give it a chance. I'm glad I did. This game is really fun, good graphics, huge replay value and just plain funny in some spots. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the camera angle is a little funky, but other than that its a solid game.

Wolf gave it a10:
This game is awesome. Buy it.

Eyd gave it a9:
This game is pretty good!!! Definetly a must have for the PSP. What keeps it from being a 10 is the loading time, other than that it's right up there with the best games for the system very underrated.

Wongit gave it a9:
Quite possibly the best game i have for my psp. I absolutely love this game, fun, addictive and cant frustrate. Plus creating a Jedi thats an Ewok is simply amazing.
