LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Lego Star Wars games. The games were a great example of what you can do with a license if you approach it the right way and it was ridiculously charming, what with its cute graphics and great sense of humor.

Much like with the Star Wars movies, LucasArts has seen fit to collect the first two Lego Star Wars game into an ultimate collection for the Wii. And the best part: it has Wii Remote lightsaber action!

Okay, so it's not the Jedi-like cutting limbs off of Stormtroopers control scheme that everyone has wanted since the Wii was first announced, but the motion-sensing lightsaber moves are fun...for about five minutes. As with most Wii games where you have to move the Remote to attack, it gets a little tiresome. The cool part is that the little speaker emits the appropriate lightsaber sounds, which only gets me more excited for the possibility of a proper Star Wars game with lightsaber controls built around the Wii Remote.

Aside from that, the game is pretty much the same as the others. You maneuver blocky Star Wars heroes through stages modeled after the movies, blast enemies and collect items. The controls are solid, the action is fun and the graphics are actually decent on the Wii. It should find a nice home on the casual-gamer friendly Wii, though anyone who's already played the first two might want to think hard before buying it, as the game hasn't changed much. Still, it's a fun title and one worth getting for the little Star Wars fanatic in your life.

PROS: Same flavor of Lego-shaped Star Wars fun. Wii Remote lightsaber controls are interesting.
CONS: Not a whole lot has changed. Lightsaber controls are only fun for a short while.
