I have twin boys 4 1/2 years old and this was their first introduction to the world of Star Wars and I gotta say this game is fantastic! They learned how to use the keys on the keyboard with ease and they play this game every single day and never get tired of it. I find them laughing like crazy at the funny scenes and also yell and scream with enjoyment as they discover new things and win over the bad guys. They also run around the house acting out the Lego characters they play with. LOTS and LOTS of fun for kids and the family and it never gets boring. I run this on an iMac G5 20" 2GHZ 1Gb RAM at full resolution (1680 x 1050) with ease. I am very impressed with this release!!!

I love this game.My sons loves this game and they are 7 and 4 years old..There is so much challenge and it'll take time to figure things out but isn't that how all the games are...you kinda play with it for a while then you become good at it..The sparkling things the other reviewer was asking about is a spot where a jedi needs to use their force to reveal what's hidden behind it..if you don't have the jedi character yet then you can purchase it from the Mos Eisley Cantina or just keep going with the story mode and as you finish the story chapters you'll gain characters...then you can actually go back on the chapters and play freeplay.. this is where the fun begins because you'll be given 5 or more characters to switch around in order to enter some doors and get hidden lego bricks..it's really fun..i have all version of this game. pc, mac, xbox halo, xbox 360, psp, ds lite..my sons totally enjoys the game because they love the movie..if you know the story you can play this game.

We have both the Star Wars I and II. They are perfect for our young boys and my husband and I enjoy playing them as well. My boys often ask me to play a level with them. We have a lot of fun playing together as a family. If your kids like Star Wars, they will love this game.

I found the original LEGO Star Wars to be a terrific game for my children and me to play together and for me to introduce them to the Star Wars universe. The extremely forgiving game play and the light tone made for a great family experience. While LEGO Star Wars II introduces exciting new elements (mix-and-match character building, more mini-games, etc.), the overall experience is much more frustrating. The controls are not quite as precise, especially for the various vehicles, many of which require very deliberate movements in order to solve puzzles. The flying scenes are especially non-intuitive, and essentially impossible for my 6 year old. With the first game, I really looked forward to each chapter ... now I'm starting to dread moving ahead, and have even resorted to reading a walk-through, which was absolutely not necessary for the first game. Finally, the game play is sluggish, though I admit I'm playing this on a 2-year old system (iMac G5 2.0 GHz) and am using the keyboard, not a controller.

I have played this on the Xbox and is as much fun to play on my computer as it was on the Xbox. I would recommend getting a controller for you computer.

i like the game because the guys who shoot can grapple and also i like the game because it has so many different levels and different episodes.

This is a good game. At times it bogs down my mac which is fairly new.

I bought this for my 7 & 8 year old boys. They love it. They earn tokens for extra work done in our home or
yard, reading extra books, etc. 20 tokens earns them one hour of play. I limit them to one hour per weekend. They keep asking if I have anything else they can do. Never thought I'd hear that line. Even though game is recommended for ages 10 and up my boys seem to keep up. This is their first real computer game experience except for I Spy games.
Happy Mom Am I.

Lego and Star Wars...is there a better combination? Good graphics on my iMac 20" Intel. You can lose hours of productivity playing this game. Beware. Puzzles are challenging. This game has hours and hours of entertainment.

An attempt to install on a Mac Mini failed. The installation app stated insufficient video resources as the reason for the abort.

The Feral Interactive website has a system checker you can use before you purchase. I only wish I had known about it before buying the game from Amazon.
