© 2006 LucasArts
The original Star Wars Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return Of The Jedi) comes to the Nintendo DS for the first time. Different levels offer constructible vehicles and creatures that players can ride or exit at will. When in Free Play mode, children can customize 50 playable characters by mixing and matching body parts, forming the likes of "Stormbacca" and "Chew Vader." And by using a game saved from the first LEGO Star Wars, up to 56 additional characters can be unlocked for Free Play. Other additions include character-specific attacks and maneuvers, Power Brick power-up items, playable mini-kits, an improved two-player camera, tougher puzzles and increased difficulty levels.
