Video Game Review: Lego Star Wars
It has been exactly one month since Berkeley paid 130 Tokens to purchase Lego Star Wars. We have been playing it on most Saturdays since... including today. It's a simple little game with a linear storyline that closely follows the narratives of the Star Wars movies. Both Berkeley and Eliana like to play. Some of the levels that require lots of jumping from ledge to ledge are difficult for Berkeley and far beyond the fine motor skill level of Eliana. But they still have a lot of fun playing the easier levels on "free play" where they get to decide what characters to use. Eliana always picks one of the female characters (e.g. Padme Amidala), and Berkeley usually picks Darth Maul (because Maul wields two light sabers).

Berkeley and I have played through the first two episodes of the six available. We were playing the first or second stage of the third episode today and came to a part where we became stuck. After trying a few different things (at my direction and suggestion) we remained stuck. Berkeley then suddenly had an idea ("I know, let's use one of our friends! R2D2!"), which worked, and we were able to progress. It was kind of funny really... he showed me up - bigtime. He thought nothing of it; it was "just a good idea [he] had".

Summary: Very fun game for the kids and to play with the kids.
