While exploring the free content available on XBOX Live last night and stumbled upon the Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy demo.
Wow! I loved this game and just couldn't stop playing it. This demo was amazing funny and caused smiles and much laughter between my roommate and me. There is something just so damn adorable about the little computer animated Lego figurines that takes me back to the days when I actually did build and play with the real plastic blocks. And, of course, the obligatory death matches that return the sting of friendly fire from your "supposed" commandant Ben Kenobi were just as priceless.
The game's concept, design, and play control is surprisingly fantastic considering the fact that Legos are generally classified under the 8-11 year old age group. I like this game demo so much; I'm buying the version after work today. I can't remember being this excited about playing a game since The Dig, which is a credit to Lucas Arts for being able to keep their games entertaining, humorous, and just plain fun after all these years.
