[Addendum]

I liked the first 2 Lego Star Wars games. In fact, the first one is the only way I liked the prequels. But I'm passing on this.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Give us Battlefront 3 already!!!!!!!

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Ew, they use the fugly Lego models.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Its a Lego game...of course. It's gonna use Lego Models.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Lego made new models for the characters with their Lego Clone Wars line. They make them look more realistic but they come off as ugly and don't even resemble Legos but some generic toy.

The previous Lego games look better because they look like Legos

The eyes is the only difference so its not a big deal

I'll probably pick this up. These Lego games have only realy worked with Star Wars imo, I didn't care for the Batman and Indiana Jones games, but I played the SW ones to death. Glad to hear they're improving the combat somewhat.

Why does Yoda look so happy?

 

[Doc Ock]

I am disgusted, the first two was great but the Clone Wars thing is just too much...

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Hayden Christensen looks like Micheal Jackson in a wig.

Hayden Christensen looks like Micheal Jackson in a wig.

Uhh, that's not Hayden Christensen. This is based on the animated Clone Wars series.

What's too much? That they're making a 3rd Lego Star Wars game, or that they're making one about the Clone Wars?

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

I think Clone Wars IMO it seems like it's been ruling all Lego Star Wars now
I much preferred when they did a kind of revamp from the original trilogy.
