LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is the first ever game that I played and 100% in no time, it's really the most memorable thing when I think about childhood and how this changed my movies taste overall.
Gameplay
The first ever lego game made by Traveller's Tales, a fine third person game in the universe of Star Wars, you can play with almost all the characters in the prequel trilogy of SW.
Playing 3 episodes and a bonus one to tease the original trilogy with the opening of a new hope, being a lego game it has it's own goofy parts and it's not copying fully the movies back to back because if you ever watched the prequels you know some scenes are not meant for children.
The level design is pretty great, if you compare it to the movies you will see what I'm talking about, in this game while playing a level you can collect studs which are coins that can purchase characters and other stuff at Dexter's place, minikits are the special objects that help you fully complete a level and they are hidden in special areas and get lego pieces to build a ship.
Soundtrack
John Williams is my favorite music composer, alongside SW he also participated in other movies like Minority Report, another personal banger, and so David's dedication was big to create a memorable soundtrack. Even till this day I find myself listening to SW tracks.
Story
Lego Star Wars takes you into the prequel trilogy of SW, 3 different movies from Phantom Menace to Revenge of The Sith.
An amazing ride to take, full of action and podracing (had to bring this one) and again some scenes are censored or even changed a bit from the original movies but I strongly suggest to watch the prequels and then start with the game, growing up I loved SW only because of this game and even today I find myself replaying this game because it's a short journey but full of nostalgia.
Conclusion
Lego Star Wars is a personal banger and an early passage to gaming, but if you want to experience the original trilogy you can either play the second game or the completed saga on steam, the computer port of the game is very broken, found the cause of modern software and so the disk might work on a original windows xp but having a controller helps you find a PS2 emulator that works fine, that's where I'm going to replay the game nowdays, for someone who didn't grow up with the movies or some aspects of the franchise I totally understand why they might not like this game but this is my subjective review so yeah.
