Memory Card: Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga

Star Wars has always been and will always be my favourite film franchise, and Lego has always been a staple throughout my life. So no better game could have possibly been made for me as a child, than The Complete Saga.

In my opinion the complete saga is the crowning jewel of the golden era of Traveller's Tales Lego games, spanning the original six films of the franchise with a truly faithful adaptation of the series. There was simply no better feeling than getting in from school and rushing to the TV set to pick up the Wii remotes and start playing; the excitement of getting to play as my favourite characters and be immersed in the greatest moments from movies will always be special to me.

Everything from the amazing level and set design; the comedic reinterpretations of each scene; the unique missions that managed to never felt repetitive in their gameplay mechanics; and the huge roster of characters with plenty of secrets to unlock all came together to create something truly special.

The pure amount of content that was crammed into one game was amazing, with six missions per episode and a plethora of secret missions to unlock alongside a large amount of collectible items and accolades such as the "True Jedi" goal for each mission, it was a completionist's dream. A feature of the game I often thought was underrated was the character designer, which allowed you to make your own custom character designs to play the missions with and add your own twist.

Looking back, the game was particularly special to me due to its couch co-op feature, which allowed you play with another person for double the fun. At least every other night I would have somebody round to play on the Wii (more specifically any of the Lego games), or I'd drag my sister into being my co-op instead (sorry Ellie).

I think this game was really my gateway into being absolutely enamoured with the world of gaming, from being a child until now. It set the bar so high and proved to me that video games were something amazing; and it was evident the developers knew the impact this game would have on a whole generation of young children, as it is often regarded as one of the best games of all time by many people.

Thanks for taking the time to read this article as its very personal, and if you want to share your thoughts on the game with me, please let me know!
