Critic Reviews

90 Cheat Code Central
A darn good game that covers the events in the first three Star Wars prequels - as they might have taken place in a Lego universe.
85 eToychest
Those looking for a fun and easy game for themselves or their children to enjoy however, have an undeniable winner on their hands.
82 My Gamer
More action packed than the GBA version of "Terminator 3," it’s faster paced than "Baldur’s Gate," and offers the same level of variety as "Boktai."
80 Modojo
A surprising good time, designed elegantly in every category and feeling like a refreshing change of pace from the other failures in the Star Wars release line. The force is strong with this one, even if it's made of Lego blocks.
80 IGN
The pairing of the two licenses works surprisingly well, offering gamers a decidedly different take on the past and upcoming Lucas films.
78 N-Insanity
Even if its plot isn’t original, its concept most definitely is. It’s got a few major gameplay problems (namely boredom), but there’s not too many flaws in its presentation.
75 GameSpot
The really ingenious thing about it, though, is the majority of the characters, vehicles, and scenery contained therein have been drawn to resemble the Lego play sets that have been released to coincide with the films.
64 Nintendo Power
The gameplay will delight and challenge anyone who gives it a try. [June 2005, p.98]
50 GameSpy
Underneath all of the character imbalance, graphical bugs, odd level distribution, and unrealized LEGO potential is a decent, if sadly uneventful game.
