This review is actually from my son's experiences. He thought it was tricky at first. He soon learned all the controls and had fun playing it. The characters he likes to play with the most on "free play" are C-3PO, Darth Maul, General Grevious, R2-D2, and Yoda. He also likes to buy things from Dexter at Dexter's Diner. He also has fun building the various ships. His final rating of the game is *** (on a scale of 0-4 stars). He said he would give it four stars if he had mastered the game. But, he is eagerly looking forward to playing Lego Star Wars II.
