I went from playing Lego Starwars on the ps2 to this, which was an infathomable downgrade in terms of graphics and gameplay. And yet.......it was just fun. Maybe it was my 10 year old brain that just distorted the reality of it, but I spent so much time exploring every part of the game. I would just chose random characters to play through random levels and it was fun. Don't know if it holds up anymore, clearly it isn't well received, but god was it fun.
[Revisitation of my Childhood, Part 0.5]

This game and it's predecessor were not the first LEGO games I played, but they...were also not the ones I remember the most. While it is a game from my childhood, I have some semblance of nostalgia for it, indeed. But that does NOT mean I like the game. It has very little merits, and even someone with the most nostalgia for this game can agree with that. But what I can say is that this game is definitely better than the first, from what I remember. My file on the game was at 76%, so I was definitely going for 100%. Still can't be bothered to replay it though.

Being a big Star Wars fan, when I played this game when I was little, I truly learned there could be hot garbage games
While following basically the same shtick as the GBA version of the first game, the controls, enemies, basically everything has been improved. Instant response is back for an example, heck yeah.
The fact that Invincibility is 1,000,000 studs but there are no stud multipliers and every enemy has the accuracy of a gunslinger on adderall is DISGUSTIN
I almost have every Minikit in the game but I barely have 300,000 studs total so the hypothetical grind would be ridiculous

It was bad.
I'm glad the days of borderline scam "ports" of games to handheld consoles are over.
Full props to the dev. Child me had a lot of fun with it. But it's clear they were restricted by budget and executive decisions.

They kinda did these handheld ports dirty, didn't they? This one is definitley better than the first one, and the level design and variety is a bit more entertaining. Also they actually thought to include the ship levels in this game so that's a plus.
All in all, it was definitley a distraction during long car rides so for that I'm thankful.

[GBA Version] A huge step up from the GBA version of the original game. This one is still cut down, but a kid would not have felt too ripped off to play this version back in the day. They ditch the still cutscenes from Lego Star Wars 1 to have the little character sprites play out the scenes through short actions and picture word bubbles, and it's honestly pretty funny and very creative (Loved the HK-47 reference).
