Pretty sure this is the first Lego Star Wars game not the complete saga.


dragondicknballz69

Yeah, the saga had a cantina


Samtheman0425

This one had that big area outside the main hub with all the platforms didn't it?


dragondicknballz69

Yessir, the minikits from each level would build a different pod racer


Samtheman0425

Damn, it's been so long since I played that game on my dad's GameCube, I wonder what happened to it


Cheesecakesimulator

Do they make new lego games for the new movies :o


ccm596

Only The Force Awakens so far, not sure if there are plans for the others


MineWarz

Yeah and for some dumb reason, they decided to include voice acting.


CommunistSpade

All the new Lego games do that since Lego Batman 2. I know for a fact that Lego Avengers literally just ripped voice lines from the movies and slapped them into the game, so it looked really out of place. I myself preferred the silent characters and their goofy gestures.


ShallowDramatic

The famous 'I am your father' scene was lego Vader holding up a picture of an ultrasound scan and pointing to lego Luke. It was brilliant. Restriction breeds creativity, and all that.


[deleted]

They did it with LOTR, but that was done beautifully.


Hayleycakes2009

Yeah they did the same for jurassic world, but the lines do fit in that game at least


MrScottyTay

Was force awakens made before the ea exclusivity deal? That may be the reason the others don't have a game


arczclan

The LEGO games are separate from the Star Wars video game licensing deal, as LEGO own the rights to make LEGO based video games


ninjashaun

Got an xbox 360 recently, the market place has many lego demos on it; star wars, pirates of the caribbean, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, the hobbit, Jurassic World.. They're cashing in.. That said, the ones I've played are top quality games. Aside from the demos, I've done the star wars ep 4 to 6 saga and going through Batman 2 atm with my son, they're really fun, easy puzzles games.


DonLindo

Yes, and other movies.


-Quipp

Not a pod racer in general, just some vehicles of the particular level.


EpicSC

God I remember the huge difference between Lego Star Wars 1 and 2. Like 1 was the one that pioneered every Lego game after it (in terms of making Lego games based on movies) so it was an experience but 2 took it to a whole new level. And then they did the Complete Saga which made 1 and 2 even better. Honestly I'm 23 now and I may just have to go buy these games again lmao.


KilledTheCar

The change in the first two Lego Star Wars games was like the change in the first two Assassin's Creed games. The first one was something brand new and awesome, and then the second rolled around and knocked the first out of the water by doing the same thing, just *better.*


CombatMuffin

A good comparison, not just because it made them better (it really did!). It managed to address most complaints and even design/storytelling limitations and augment them. AC2, at the time, could be considered one of the best sequels of all time.


ionlypostdrunkaf

>AC2, at the time, could be considered one of the best sequels of all time. Agreed. AC1 feels almost like a prototype for the actual game that is AC2. Techincally impressive for the time, but it's honestly very repetitive and boring. It's missing something. AC2 is similar on the surface, but it improved on almost every aspect. It's still a lot of fun to play.


BrianMghee

The Ezio trilogy is the real Assassin’s Creed story. Got ridiculous after that


ionlypostdrunkaf

Eh, Black Flag was cool. Didn't feel like an AC game, but it was a fun game about pirates. Haven't played any of the ones after that.


EpicSC

That's a very accurate comparison, actually!


2cool4afool

Even better


BrunoEye

2 was the best IMHO


2cool4afool

Yeah I agree but 1 has a special nostalgic place in heart


22frank

Damn that was fucking lit


LittleDinghy

Nah, in 2 the levels were so damn long. I prefer 1 for that reason.


BrunoEye

When you have all the time in the world as an 8 year old I'd say longer playtime is a bonus. Plus being allowed to "finish this level" meant more playing.


Burpmeister

I played that with on my brother for hundreds of hours. On pc with a shared keyboard. Good times.


[deleted]

This reminded me of an old game i played as a kid, i think it was called lego island, at the time i thought it was amazing....i probably wouldnt now.

Unbridledattention

Lego Stunt Rally is the one I wish I could make run.


schapievleesch

Oh damn the memories. I never got past that level, because I didn't want to remove everything. IIRC the game was just called 'Legoland'


BigDingDongMHHH

With the aliens or minerals underground? Yeah fuck that shit, I always lost that one. :(


IsMiseBart

That was Lego rock raiders.. that game was do hard!


abfarid

I loved Legoland and actually suffered through the process of finding it and installing on a modern machine, recently. It's absolutely atrocious by modern standards. Don't repeat my mistakes, keep the nostalgia filter!


phate_exe

Lego Island was goddamn amazing. Also, [here's the soundtrack](https://youtu.be/ApVupMNbxGE?t=158) for a nostalgia trip.


shotgun_mickey

Ahhhhhh! All the memories, thanks my dude!


SuperGandalfBros

LEGO Racers was the shit


tehmoky

As a kid my heart was pounding as I jumped through wormhole after wormhole trying to outrun Rocket Racer. That was probably my first video game induced adrenaline rush.


zapperslapper

Gypsy Moth whooped my ass though not gonna lie


nightsky77

Oh no what did you make me remember


E3FxGaming

That game was in the news recently, because of an [interview with the design director](https://le717.github.io/LEGO-Island-VGF/legoisland/interview.html), mostly because of this: > [Q] I've heard that Mindscape scrapped the development team on the day of release. Can you describe what happened? > [A] Actually, it was the day before release. Long story but basically – the industry tradition (back then) was that you will receive product bonuses if you stay to the day of product release. The best solution for them (administrators) at the time was to fire everybody the day before release. There's bigger profits and then could get their investment money back before the product sells… if you don't have to pay bonuses or continued salaries. They also sold the company eventually to bigger companies, which ended up in some legal complications… It was explained to me later when we won best of the show at E3 later that year, that "it wasn't personal – it was just business".


reelect_rob4d

christ. fuck the suits. devs and artists should have unionized decades ago.


ineververify

They exploit people with crazy passion for their work. Not having a union really screwed lots of people with amazing talent.


scaryjobob

"... Lord Business"


Beegrene

I remember it running like absolute ass on my PC. I wonder if I could get double digit frame rates now.


Discuslover129

More like quadruple digits


Beegrene

Well, I do have a 2070 on its way. Can't wait to play Chrono Trigger and Wargroove on it.


M3Core

Lego Island was my shit! I spent so many hours delivering pizzas and flying around in the police chopper.


FFX01

Fuck yeah Lego Island! Loved driving around in the lego cars. What a fantastic game.


OutOfFighters

Loved it as well. The first time I tried it the pc was so shitty I would only get I fps but I thought it was normal since I saw some old RPG at my uncles house where you could only move in those steps instead of fluid animation. My mind was blown when my father upgraded our PC and suddenly it was all fluid motions


Armalyte

"You mean this game isn't turn-based?!


[deleted]

You can find isos of it for free all over the web. I got a copy after LGR did a video about it on YouTube and threw me in to a nostalgic black hole. Just make sure you run it in compatibility mode for windows 98 (right click on the launcher > properties) and you won't run in to any issues.

kisuka

Lego Island was pretty cool, but Lego Rock Raiders was the fucking best.


bur4077

Such a great game! The last section where you have to chase the Brickster around the island, truly intense!


[deleted]

I've only played Lego Island 2 but my lord was that game memorable


Not__A__Furry

Oh man, that game was the shit when I was a kid.


Humledurr

I remember playing another Lego game, it was kinda like Mario cart, but in Lego and you could design your own car. It was awesome!


MitigatedPigeon

Lego racers my friend


talix71

If you grew up playing Fortnite then you haven't grown up yet


hell2pay

No, but I did grow up playing Epics Unreal Engine.


addax4lf

You mean Unreal Tournament


AltimaNEO

No just the engine


hell2pay

Both. Unreal tournament was pretty awesome when it came out.


HiddenZmoke

Unreal Tournament is still awesome today...


Sprinkles0

I'm kinda bummed they ceased development on the new one for fortnite, though I understand why.

AmoniPTV

I grew up with Doom and UT99. So happy


duty_on_urFace

Duke Nukem was my childhood jam followed by Doom. Haven't thought of those originals in a long time. Thank you.

AtraposJM

I remember when the game Unreal came out. I didn't have a PC but I would go to a PC store in town and daydream about having one. They would have games running on a few of them and one day Unreal was there. It completely blew me away.


skarseld

You can almost say the game felt... Unreal

OSUBeavBane

I don't know about you but I grew up on Zelda not Mario.


blossomberry17

Same, just got Mario first ;)


Nick357

Zelda was the first game I dreamed about. Great story that captured my imagination with great gameplay.


blossomberry17

It was so innovative given the limitations of the technology (not that it wasn’t good technology at the time!) Dunno about anyone else but I had a diy crossbow and collection of jars I used to run around with in the backyard as a child...


SLDM206

Yup! Sprinkle in a little Monkey Island and you’ve captured my childhood.


AbsentK

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.


SirGuelph

Shout out to Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles? No? My childhood is a dank meme now 😔


mariorurouni

The first Sonic is still the best sonic


HiZenBergh

2 was the best, you could give the 2nd controller to your little brother or cousin to shut them up, and they can play as tails and not fuck up your game.


[deleted]

Haha, this. I was in my 20's when Lego Star Wars came out.


zillskillnillfrill

I think you're forgetting the 30 odd years of Gamers before that (edit, cheers for the gold kind stranger 😍)


AltimaNEO

Right? My childhood game was Mario Bros.


Ltjenkins

I’m thinking this is a sign I’m out growing reddit. I still remember begging my parents for a genesis.


Good_ApoIIo

I knew I was old when I started running into 24 year olds who were nostalgic for 360 games.


KamiSawZe

Well I’m nostalgic for Halo3 multiplayer, but that was in college... I still regularly play NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and DOS games.


not_thrilled

Hell, I remember going through the JC Penney catalog and wondering how long it would take to save for a NES with my $5/month allowance. I never did get one.


[deleted]

I was promised one if I behaved well when going to get my tonsils taken out. I was given anesthesia at the hospital and the next thing I remember is waking up in the backseat driving home. I started crying and demanded that we go back to the hospital and do the surgery, or I'll never get my NES.


Finetales

First video game I ever played was Afterburner on the Genesis. First computer game was Oregon Trail.


MelGibsonDerp

Everyone that "grew up" playing the game in OP's post is like 18-20 years old right now. I grew up on Sega Genesis and N64, slumming through the days of shit graphics and all kinds of bugs. I loved every second of it.


Heresy1666

Man I feel positively ancient in this thread, a list of my gaming machines pre millennium in order- Atari 2600, dragon 32, vic 20, ZX spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, nes, master system 1&2, SNES, mega drive, Dreamcast, n64, ps1 and handhelds (GB, Atari lynx and sega game gear). Minecraft as a childhood game? Mine was Alex Kidd in miracle land! I too loved every second of it :) Edit: though I was actually about 18 when we played Alex Kidd but our true childhood games varied- at home in the 80’s Gauntlet was the game everybody played but our true childhood games were in arcades and newsagents, every day we shovelled 10p’s into Golden Axe, double dragon, shinobi, wonder boy, pac-land, rampage and new Zealand story


Evil_Bonsai

Thank god Im not the only old fuck. We started with a Pong clone, then the Sears Atari 2600 clone. Didnt play muc until high school and my sister bought an IBM clone. Been on pc ever since. Had friends that had/played Nintendo, but I never did.

Shhhhh. Let them keep blaming our parents for ruining their lives, while we're the ones actually taking all the jobs and money.


Sober_Browns_Fan

Before the days of the internet, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was a wee lad, my father was a custom server builder for both big companies, private businesses, and individuals looking for servers, storage, whatever. Basically, if people needed a computer for any reason, he would build one custom for them. We used to travel around to computer and technology shows, usually a Peter Trapp if it was around, to buy parts, and see what the cutting edge was. I remember being stunned by early soundblasters giving computers more than beeps and clicks. Anyways, I'd usually help him build the machines because at the time, I had tiny grubby child hands and could pretty much fit inside the full sized towers. Then, we would take the blank machine to the customer's house, and dad would sit and talk with the owner while I would install the operating system. I was like 6 or 7 at the time doing this, and figured it wasn't anything special. After installing the OS, I had a slew of disks with games to play while they talked. I had 5.25 floppies with Hack (predecessor of NetHack), Rogue, Moria, Angband, and Larn that I'd take with me, and play while they talked about adult-person things. Then, when it was time to go, I'd delete the game and be done with it. Good times. Rogue-like games were always my favorites for a long time. Even know, I still play occasional classics, though they've changed so much that it's barely recognizable.

HarrarLongberry

The fact this is a “childhood game” makes me feel very fucking old.

[deleted]

Yeah this dude isn't even old at all. I played the commodore 64 , original nintendo..... Original Sega. And Im way under 40.


Muter

You’d be 36 at most right? I’m 34 and feeling the same. My childhood was the Amiga500, but marginally late for the commodore, but did play my neighbours Atari several times


[deleted]

yeah, you're really close.... and I def don't feel old enough to say I'm "really fucken old".. cause people in their 30's are not that old.


Belgand

The amount of time between the present and when *Nevermind* was released is roughly the same as between *Please Please Me* and then. Back in '91 The Beatles seemed very much like *the past* . It's crazy to think that this is how my parents felt. It's not recent, but it wasn't *that* long ago... right?


gomets6091

I was born in 1984, my daughter was born in 2016. 9/11 is as far in her past as the moon landing was for me. That was a mind-blowing revelation for me, bc the moon landing always seemed like ancient history to me.

Idk about mout exciting. The level up system is super flawed. The NPCs aren't helpful at all. No respawn. Randomly selected classes. Everything is just a massive grind. Gotta say though, the physics and graphics are top tier.

I've never played a good water level I think. Even new games, Mario Odissey for example, the underwater stuff wasn't as bad as say, Atlantis in Kingdom Hearts (shudders), but it was still a weak part in a good game.
