An other nice Lego game
So, after roughly fourteen hours, according to the ingame counter, I finished Lego Star Wars 3 and jhad a lot of fun with it. While I have to admit that the game makes a rather bad first impression, it opens up later on and reaches the fun and quality of the previous two games. The story itself covers the time between Episode 2 and Episode and has basically 3 story archs you can follow as you please with 6 story missions each. These missions vary between the good old linear levels, space battles and the new assault maps, where you are placed on a large battlefield and can build structures and order and drive vehicles, like the ATTE, AAT or Hailfire droids. On the bad side, unless you've watched the TV show I guess, the story seems kind of random with no red line connecting the individual scenarios. Despite of this variety, the missions themselves are a mixed bag. Some of them are pretty good, but most of them are either mediocre or even boring. The reason for this is that some of them are pretty repetitive, especially at the start and end of the game. For example, there is one missions which consists of planting an increasing number of bombs in a droid facility and ones that's done, the mission is finished. The same goes for the Assault missions, which you unlock after finishing the story line and which can be plaid either on the Republic or Droid side of the war. The problem with them is, that they only consist of Assault maps, with their capturing of command posts on the map and building structures and calling vehicles, and only offer two different objectives, which gets repetitive pretty quickly. An other negative point in my opinion are the space levels, due to the simple reason that you barely encounter any enemy fighters. Unlike in the previous games, the enemy barely engage you when in you when in space, which makes these missions feel a bit dull. But despite all of that, Lego Star Wars 3 is an enteretaining game andI can recommend it.
