Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Cooperative play encouraces teammwork and conversation.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Plenty of battles, but heroism is rewarded.

  • Violence & scariness :

    Although Star Wars generally features some PG-grade violence, the LEGO world makes it seem even tamer.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not only is this game a tie-in to the Star Wars merchandising machine, but it also is branded by LEGO.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game

Parents need to know that the Star Wars films -- and games based on the franchise -- do contain violence: ample gunplay and swashbuckling, no blood, and a few scary moments when evil characters gain the upper hand. LEGO Star Wars duplicates this formula, but with protagonists and enemies built from small plastic blocks.
