This was probably the only decent game at Gamestars that doesn't have a lot of info about it already on the 'net.
Star Wars Lego is a two player, third person adventure where you can select various characters from the Star Wars universe to help you through the game. The action is very straight forward, where you can just hammer the attack button to pull off a combo (or shoot). If you are a Jedi you can also pick up parts of the level, which is pretty cool but it doesn't work anywhere near as well as in Psi Ops.
The graphics aren't technically the greatest ever, but they are certainly extremely effective. Everything looks like Lego, and everything is so damned cute! Your characters can have limbs blown off, and the sight of my C3PO hopping along on one leg had to be the highlight of the demo. Strangely, by using the triggers (Xbox ver) you can cycle through all the available characters. Not sure if this was just a demo thing or something planned for the final release, but it worked surprisingly well. Only a few characters were of any use (JarJar Binks couldn't actually do anything, even attack), but it was fun walking around as a Jedi (also enjoyable to attack each other as Jedi)
The demo wasn't particularly long or difficult, but it was good fun. There were only a few rooms to go through and not an awful lot of enemies, but it showed off what to expect.
I guess that if you removed the Star Wars or Lego licence, this would be a sub-par game, but as it stands this all works surprisingly well. Easy to play, easy to love, but difficult to walk away from.
