[Multiplatform] Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Multiplatform! >=O)

Released on September 12, 2006 (NA), Lego Star Wars II takes all of the AWESOME that was the first game and combines it with the greatness of the original Star Wars films. The end result is a beautifully made masterpiece, with some great attention to individual character detail, this game is everything the first was and more.

For the most part the characters all have their own little idle animations and actions. Luke in the beginning stumbles getting up from a roll, Han always falls flat on his face after using his blaster cable, hats don't quite fit properly on Chewbacca, and The Emperor seemingly never gets tired of that laugh of his.

The cutscenes also bring forth a large dose of hilarity, my favorite being the UH UH UH of Mos Eisley Spaceport. That scene has me rolling for hours. Overall the game is very solid, offering HOURS of gameplay (I'm at about 80% and have almost 20 hours so far) and some pretty awesome co-op, especially on the speeder level.

So who out there has the game and which version did you get? I'm curious as to what peoples favorite scenes are, and what you like (or if you're a heathen, don't like) about the game.

BADASS GREEN SABER LUKE FTW

Wikipedia sez:

Quote:

For the Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance versions, the game is altered for portability reasons (ie. graphics, fewer characters, etc.).

The Gameboy Advance version has 25 characters, less than the console versions. The DS version has 50. The DS version allows up to three people to battle wirelessly, where they are in Jabba's Palace, and first one to find Han Solo wins.

Character swapping is performed by touching icons on the touch screen.

Needs less portable and more CONSOLE version.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Console version has 68, actually (that's not counting the custom two you can have, and I assume the DS version still has that ability). Besides, wifi is NEAT, but if it's just that one battle scenario then fuck that. Now if it was Wifi CO-OP or something I would approve.

That also brings up a question about character portability. I know you can port over characters from the first Lego Star Wars using a save from it on the console versions, but does the DS version let you import characters from the GBA version of LSW I? (Since there is no DS version of the original)

How ya doing, buddy?

Ahaha, Boba Fetts rockets are AWESOME, also VERY DESTRUCTIVE. I'll killed myself in small hallways numerous times attempting to switch characters.

Edit: Also, I've gotten my hands on a video capture device and will be recording some of the cutscenes tonight and tomorrow. If you have any specific requests let them be known now. UH UH UH scene is a given, for infinite hilarity. =D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Finally got the VRD out, and captured a few scenes for you guys. =O
