This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game for PlayStation 2
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game for PlayStation 2 turns the first three numbered Star Wars films into an action adventure. You follow The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith with characters made from LEGO bricks. As a Jedi you fight with a lightsaber and move objects with the Force. Other characters open special doors, fire a blaster or reach places beyond an ordinary jump.
From Dexter’s Diner you choose scenes from the different episodes. During play you switch characters to tackle fights, jumps and small environmental puzzles. You collect studs to buy new characters and extras. Hidden canisters combine into minikit vehicles. Exploring a corner or raised platform beyond the main route therefore pays off. Some secrets require a later visit with a character who has a different ability.
You play alone or locally with two players. A second player can join during the action and leave again later, with the computer taking over the character. After completing a scene, Free Play lets you bring other unlocked characters. Damage costs hearts; if your character falls apart, you lose some studs. You can therefore keep trying while working towards a more complete collection.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 2 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game for PlayStation 2 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game
Traveller’s Tales developed LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, released for PlayStation 2 in 2005. Eidos handled distribution in collaboration with Giant Interactive and LucasArts. The film selection matched the year in which Revenge of the Sith completed the prequel trilogy. The game treated all three episodes as a series of playable scenes. Familiar events received a comic interpretation through small gestures, LEGO figures and brick-built objects.
Character switching made the toy format part of the game design. A Jedi could use the Force where a droid needed a different panel. Unlocked characters were therefore more than a list of names: they opened new possibilities in previously visited scenes. Free Play gave a completed storyline a second use. You could revisit the same environment with different abilities, while studs and minikits provided further goals.
Local cooperation let a second player join without starting a separate campaign. That principle returned in 2006’s LEGO Star Wars II, which covered the original film trilogy. The Complete Saga later brought material from both games together, but this PlayStation 2 edition is the earlier adventure covering Episodes I to III. Its original structure of Dexter’s Diner, story chapters and Free Play remains the basis here.
Similar games for PlayStation 2
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy shares studs, character abilities and local two-player cooperation. It follows Luke, Leia and Han through Episodes IV to VI and uses the Mos Eisley Cantina as its hub. The Video Game covers the prequels and Dexter’s Diner. The sequel further expands building and using vehicles.
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures also lets you explore film chapters, collect studs and overcome obstacles with two players. Indy uses his whip to operate objects and swing across gaps. Its puzzles concern archaeological adventures from three Indiana Jones films. In LEGO Star Wars, the Force, droids and other space characters’ abilities determine which route you can open.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame also combines building, fighting and character choices, but tells an original story in Gotham City. Batman and Robin use different suits to pass obstacles, while separate chapters follow the villains. LEGO Star Wars uses film scenes and distributes abilities among Jedi, droids and other characters. Both reward returning with the right capabilities.
Ratchet & Clank shares jumping, exploration and collecting in a science-fiction world. Ratchet buys weapons and gadgets with bolts and travels between planets with Clank. The first PS2 game is a solo adventure with one central hero and his robot companion. LEGO Star Wars lets you switch among more characters and offers local cooperation, making the same space a shared puzzle.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King also lets two players work through scenes from familiar films. Its focus is on combat, combinations and improving heroes. LEGO Star Wars interrupts the action more often with ability puzzles and hidden-object searches. Film recognition and cooperation overlap, but the tone and the balance between fighting and exploration differ.
